If kids movies of the last few years are any indication, the first ingredient to any kids movie is a sensitive little boy who doesn’t like doing normal boy stuff (How to Train Your Dragon, Paranorman) or a brash little girl who doesn’t like doing girl stuff (Brave, Whip It). Dreamworks’ The Croods starts with the latter, voiced by Emma Stone, whose caveman dad voiced by Nic Cage is always making her wear dresses and churn mammoth butter and not leave the cave. But she’s all like “F that noise!” because girl power, and next thing you know, purple turtles with dragonfly wings start flying around like Avatar. Yeah, man, I dunno either.
The Croods is a prehistoric comedy adventure that follows the world’s first family as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed. Traveling across a spectacular landscape, the Croods discover an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures — and their outlook is changed forever. [Apple]
Two things Hollywood can’t get enough of: redheads and parkour.



I would point to this as an example of three things Hollywood can’t get enough of: redheads, parkour, and massive f*cking mountains of cocaine.
It’s probably just because I’m stoned, but that looked awesome!
The redhead is kinda hot…?
“churn mammoth butter” and Nic Cage should not be in the same paragraph. Bad images. BAD images….
This looks more like the Cave Man Ugh-Lympics. Which to be fair would be awesome if true.
Spoiler Warning:
The whole cave collapse was initiated evil unobtanium miners.
Damn it Dreamworks. You don’t put Nic Cage in a movie to ‘tell stories’ about bears.
Are you insinuating that the jackasses are jumping the shark by not having the snake collector play the bear?
It’s not so weird now that I see about Nic Cage’s involvement but would it not have been easier to just invent a device that taps directly into his psyche and just record that? I mean, you kind of end up with the same result in the end.
The Mighty Feklahr would prefer to see an adaptation of the old Sega Genesis game, “Two Crude Dudes”. Just get Statham and Rampage Jackson, put angel dust in their Red Bulls, smack them around and set them loose in a high school/nursing home/Magic: The Gathering competition. Bam! Enough footage for two awesome movies EASY! QAPLAH!
This message…it’s hand is a heavy fistful of ham.
First off you can never have enough red headed broads. Ever. Second although How to Train Your Dragon was formulaic I really liked it. Third, do you think Nic Cage was bummed when he showed up to the sound studio and there were no dinosaurs?
Not to offend but the Croods all look like they have a touch o’ the downs.
Fireworks from Chinese cavemen! Awesome!
