  For what it's worth, here's our Animators' review (go to about 3min in to skip the skit). There's also a bit of discussion on what's going on with Dreamworks' layoffs and the VFX situation right now

  Went to see the movie last weekend. I was visiting my mom and sister and she wanted to see it and I'm glad she did, you can't ask for a better family animated film. Visuals and design were amazing, 3d was really good and never interfered with the movie, a meaningful and powerful ending that made my eyes water. It wasn't perfect I think the sloth could of had some funnier lines I didn't really understand the duh duh daaaaaaaa it felt out of place. All the voices worked well and its easy to forget who is actually talking and just see the characters. The way the film works is that it starts slow and then builds and builds and builds until the end and everything that needs to be said is said. I recommend seeing this film if you want to be entertained you can definitely tell the spill crew liked it too.

  Emma stone's way too stylized to actually be attractive to me in this...

  this got 67% on RottenTomatoes which I agree with: 'While it may not be as (ahem) evolved as the best modern animated fare, The Croods will prove solidly entertaining for families seeking a fast-paced, funny cartoon adventure.'

  it's not really up there with the most original stories in animated films but it's still a really fun children's movie
  to be honest I wasn't laughing through most of this movie and its comedy but it got to me near the 3rd act
  all of these characters are likeable minus 1 and as cavemen are completely clueless
  the movie is amazingly animated from the landscapes to the animals and it's very action-packed to say the least
  Emma Stone is pretty much playing Emma Stone being the cavegirl who wants to break the routine from her family yada yada...everything we've seen a billion times over
  it would be nice though that they would explain what these creatures are instead of doing it ourselves from the merchandise and it's pretty stupid trying to believe that these kinds of early people can think and utilize these modern ideas and concepts at this point in time
  that damn little cavegirl, Sandy was getting on my nerves so much I wanted to punch her
  I prefer these other people to care about such as the wise-cracking grandmother by Cloris Leachman
  does a cool job too of expanding our minds and teamwork
  good watch just nothing spectacular

  I like this image a lot:

  I haven't been disappointed in a Dreamworks animated film in years. They overtook Pixar a long time ago.

  This sounds like the kids' version of Quest For Fire.

  Right there with you guys on the preconceptions with the trailer.  I hate the Ice Age movies and it reminded me of that, but the trailer seemed like the movie had potential.  That said, I probably won't be seeing this in the theater so I'll catch it on Netflix.

• March 22, 2013 at 6:52 PM, Todd Anderson said ...

  Yeah, this didn't look like my thing. It looked dull, boring, uninspired throwaway film. You guys seemed to like it though so maybe I'll rent it when it comes out but I most likely won't be paying theater rates for it.

  @Christopher Anthony Etrata don't nobody care bout this movie getting spoiled

• March 22, 2013 at 5:15 PM, said ...

  All I had seen was the teaser trailer they first showed, as I rarely watch tv and dont see ads on here so wasn't sure how this would end up. Not surprised, but the story felt like i seen it before.

  I can't reveal the ending because it constitutes spoilers but I did feel the ending was kind of a cop out for me.

  I can't help thinking of those youtube movie audience exit interviews and the host being struck dumb by the sight of the one person in the crowd with an erection after a viewing of The Croods.  Thank you for cementing that image in my head all morning, Leon.

  You guys [spill crew] have arbitrary sense of morality. 

  Sexually rendered animated teenage female characters only arouse the perverted, but sexually rendered [make up, surgery] strange women are arouse every real man.

  Damn, I thought "The Croods" was the title for the new podcast! lol Alright, lets see what this film's got.

  Here we go again with Cyrus and his defense of rebellious female behavior.

  Remember "Brave"!

  Chris Sanders also did How to Train Your Dragon, so I was curious how this would turn out. Doesn't sound as good as i hoped, but oh well.

  The Designer/ director is Chris sanders you old geezers. He usually draws his women "thick" big legs small waist or whatever. he also designed lilo and stitch.

  As long as this movie keeps Ryan Reynolds at least 30 miles away from any Super hero movie you could say I'm cool with The Croods.

  Glad to hear it actually picked up in some parts.
