The animation in THE CROODS is jaw-droppingly good, (Roger Deakins gets a
'visual consultant' credit), and, guess what, the script is pretty
darned nifty, too. The Croods are a family of cave people adjusting to
the transition from prehistoric times to something, shall we say, a
little more modern as daughter Eve finds herself with a boyfriend who
isn't just handsome but actually has a brain as well and knows how to
make fire. Considering how many animated films these days go in for
hi-tech effects this is really quite simplistic without losing any of
its considerable visual charm and is all the better for it. It's also
very funny in a way that will appeal to both children and their parents;
in other words, it's a treat for the entire family.
