The Croods

The Crood´s cave is destroyed forcing them to search for a new home. They begin a journey that will take them through spectacular landscapes and fantastic creatures.

Reviews: 8/10

Parents seem to enjoy this film as much as their children. Funny from start to end with incredible animations proper of Dreamworks and a huge budget, the Croods make a good competition to the Ice Age series. A better title and feature poster would´ve attracted more viewers.
