The latest
animated feature
film from
DreamWorks
Animation sends
a naïve but
energetic family
on a survival
quest during
prehistoric times
Was a family road trip ever as prehistoric as the
one forced upon Grug (Nicolas Cage) and his
family in The Croods? Written and directed by
Kirk DeMicco and Chris Sanders, the DreamWorks Animation comedy shakes up a world of
fun and danger as the Crood family members
discover life in a big, wide, wonderful (mostly)
world. On the way, the accidental travelers discover that the most important changes are happening within the family.
In addition to Cage, the film stars the voice
talent of Emma Stone as Grug's adventurous
daughter Eep, Catherine Keener as good wife
Ugga, Clark Duke as the meathead son Thunk,
Cloris Leachman as irascible mother-in-law
Gran, and Ryan Reynolds as the charming, inventive Guy, who is not a member of the caveman family.
Before The Croods, Kirk DeMicco was
writer/director for Vanguard Animation's Space
Chimps and the writer for Alligator Planet's
Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie,
Alcon Entertainment's Racing Stripes, and
Warner Bros.' Quest for Camelot.
