I'll be taking my 6-year-old daughter to see this one in 2D. I got a ticket with the Rise of the Guardians pre-order and just took my son to see Oz TG&P, so she is excited that it is her turn. She likes to say 'dun-dun-duuuuuun' like Belt does in the trailers.

Looks like it could be an okay movie. Probably not up there with some of the animated hits of last year (Wreck-It Ralph, Brave, etc) but worth eight dollars to make a memory with my little girl.

Didn't Aardman start work on this originally? Colour me interested.

I'm not expecting much, but with the director of How To Train Your Dragon involved I'm hoping that at least my kid will enjoy it. Looks like fun.

Yes, they did.

There's already a thread on this forum somewhere. Don't worry, someone will be posting a link if there is.

Anyway, this looks meh to me, but I get a kick out of the Belt sloth going, "dun-dun-duuuuun!"

Britnasty · 03-10-2013, 11:46 PM

I have a free screening of this on Saturday. Hopefully its good.

I also thought there was a thread, but can't find it. Wanted to hear other members thought about this movie.

My daughter LOVES How to Train Your Dragon, so there's at least an even chance she'll have an enjoyable movie experience.

Yes, as most parents will attest, Dreamworks's marketing...DOES rather know how to play the subconscious urges of 3-6 yo.'s like a harp from hell.

(I, OTOH, like to move-it, move-it.)

No kidding, my 4 year old has been jokingly asking "Where are my feet?" after her shoes go on because of the ads for this.

This one's going to be a chore to sit through, I imagine.

But it's the new Nic Cage film, so I will be there opening night.

jwerk · 03-11-2013, 06:59 PM

This should have a huge weekend.

When was the last animated family film in theaters? Rise of the Guardians(Nov.)? The kids(and parents) are getting cabin fever, getting tired of watching reruns of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Here comes Spring! Here comes The Croods!

I never even noticed who was doing the voice acting on this one. I knew about Emma Stone and Ryan Renolds because I saw them on the news the other day doing a promo interview.

Hope it will have enough moments for the parents to keep me somewhat entertained.

Tony208 · 03-12-2013, 02:34 AM

totally saw the shoe joke coming but it was still pretty funny
rest looks like pure kiddie stuff though

MarkJ801 · 03-12-2013, 02:54 AM

Yeah this looks really bad imo.

Would that be...Kirk DeMicco from "Quest For Camelot" and "Space Chimps"?

(I know Dreamworks had to appoint a co-director after Chris Sanders turned out not to be that great a solo director without Dean DeBlois, but...wasn't that going a bit too far?)

Moleman1138 · 03-22-2013, 10:56 PM

9/10 is way too generous for The Croods. I didn't hate the movie, but it came off as pretty generic and especially from Dreamworks, who've I've really enjoyed every animated movie since 2008. For 90 minutes, it just plodded along. I enjoyed Emma Stone voicing Eep, but that's about it. Turbo doesn't look pretty hot either.

Agree on Turbo. Looks like an attempt to combine a Bug's Life and Cars. My six-year-old also says she doesn't care to see it.

arcadeforest · 03-26-2013, 12:37 AM

I'll give it 4 stars - my kids both give it 5 stars

TommySyk · 03-26-2013, 05:11 PM

I LOVED this movie. It was funny, it was entertaining, it was sad... One of the best animations I've seen in a long time. 4/5.
