The Croods

The Croods

The posters, theatrical trailers, and promotions for this movie cannot do it justice.  DreamWorks' latest animated film went above and beyond any expectations I brought into the initial viewing experience. 

Featuring the voice acting of both, Hollywood's most popular ( & ) and Hollywood's veteran actors ( & ), this film delves into a thoughtful plot about family, trust, growth, and the importance of adventure.  That isn't even the most astounding part.

The animation of this film was phenomenal, especially in 3D.  As it took place in the time of cavemen, the animators and creative minds behind this work of art had some liberty to create an amazing array of fascinating creatures of all shapes, colors, and sizes.  From the rainbow colored jumbo-sized saber-toothed tiger, to feathered and flying turtles that could take up a whole room, the creativity was flowing for the entire duration of the 98-minute-long film.

It an aesthetic masterpiece (colors, animation styles, etc.).  The acting and casting were spot-on. And the story was heartwarming and compelling.  I would even say that it rivals Disney's Brave (2012) in terms of animation, acting, and plot.

For anyone who is looking for an adventure worth sharing with the whole family, this is a must-see!
