| Rebellious cave teen Eep (Emma Stone) ventures out beyond the protection of her cave. |
It's been quite a few years since DreamWorks last stumbled along
with one of their family-friendly animated features. Having found out-of-the-blue success with How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda, DreamWorks Animation was
certainly giving Pixar a run for its money as the undisputed king of animated
superiority. That is, until now.
Their latest animated feature, The Croods might lack the signature charm and wholesome value seen
in DreamWorks previous cartoony flicks, but there's no denying that this escape
to this prehistoric world has a few tricks up its sleeve. The Croods are one of
the last remaining caveman families that have survived thanks to their
overprotective father Grug (Nicholas Cage), believing that anything beyond their
humble cave dwelling is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Their
plastic bubble is shaken when his teenage daughter Eep (Emma Stone) ventures
out beyond the cave.
