The Croods

This was a very well-produced, well-directed, great voice acting, animated film.  It’s about a family of cave dwellers that were all afraid of the dark and unbeknownst to them, were all about to embark upon an adventure.  You see the world was a change, volcanos were erupting, and it was time for them to move to higher ground.  The dad who goes by the name ‘Grug’ was played by Nicholas Cage.  Let me tell you, Grug is dumber than a red brick.  He was convinced in order to ensure the survival of his family, they all needed to live in this cave and not come out at night.  To me, it was abundantly obvious his character was being voiced by Nicholas Cage.  My wife however could not place his voice, such a rookie!!  A little more difficult to discern was the voice of the character ‘guy’,  I would also like to mention there were plenty of funny moments for kids as well as adults.  Guys belt, was a mongoose that would always roar ‘Dun dun dunnnnn’ at key moments.  The kids in the theater erupted in laughter every time, which was quite contagious.  So overall, I enjoyed this film a lot.  Highly recommended.
