Have you seen The Croods, yet?
This family feature is full of imaginative fun, adventure, comedy and heart. It also has something that isn’t exactly common in animated features.
Family.
There’s a dad, mom, 3 kids and grandma all living together as one big (sometimes) happy and (often) dysfunctional family. They live in a fictional prehistoric era and are needing to adapt to the changing world.
The amazing animation is realistic, even though these characters could not be found in our world. The animals are a clever mash-up of real animals and take on the characteristics and movements of the animals they resemble. It’s both fantastical and believable at the same time.
The movie is rated PG, but I’m not exactly sure why. I would imagine that most will be happy to enjoy the movie with their entire family. And, yes, I’m a sap and did shed a tear or two during an emotional and heartfelt scene that I thoroughly enjoyed.
