The Croods

Love this movie, rented for classroom and students enjoyed as well.

One of my grandson's favorite movie. We watch it over and over again.

love it

I'm 22 and I love cartoons. My boyfriend on the other hand, is not-so-fond of Disney, Pixar, Nickelodeon, and all of the other magnificent artsy movie creators out there. Needless to say I begged and begged to watch "The Croods" because my foster kiddos had seen it with their birth mom and quoted it CONSTANTLY. I wanted to know what all of the hype was about! And on our weekly movie-night date-night, I finally persuaded him to sit down and watch this movie.By the end, he was swallowing his own words, and definitely agreed that The Croods was one of the more hysterical movies we'd watched in quite some time. This fantastic animated movie is about a caveman family- essentially the last of their kind. The father is stuck in his 'old ways' and refuses to move on and evolve. His eldest daughter, on the other hand, strives to learn knew things. In walks a stranger boy, who not-purposely introduces the eldest daughter to "fire" and after that, everything changes. The family ends up going on a magnificent journey where they discover evolution, and even more than that- discover themselves!This movie is sweet, quirky, funny, and strewn with humor that anyone could appreciate. It has both adult and child comedy that people of all ages will enjoy. Everyone from toddlers to teens to parents will find themselves laughing out loud at some point during this fun film. All of the humor is clean, in fact the entire movie is so darn family friendly! I was so happy to find a film that just had a genuinely upbeat message to it, that wasn't too dramatic, too over-done, or too adult-oriented. The Croods was a child-appropriate film that spans it's targeted audience to fit into the hearts of people of all ages- and genders too!This movie had me smiling the entire way through, and occasionally laughing out loud. The message is a cute one, of a family learning how much they mean to each other, and how not all changes are bad changes. It's a very beautiful film that will capture the imaginations of children and the hearts of adults. I LOVE children's movies- especially ones that are sweet and innocent. This is definitely one of those movies, and I would highly recommend it to everyone- families, children, and adults alike!

I received this movie on the release day - 10/1/13 and I FINALLY got to watch it over 8 months later. I wanted to write this review because the AUDIO LANGUAGE AND SUBTITLES listed on the case (and box that includes the toy, Belt, only show the English variations. (see below), Spanish and French. But the Blu-ray disc also includes Arabic, EMHNIKA, Chinese (couldn't tell from the glyph), Islenksa, Polski, Portugues', Limba Romana, SRPSKI, Turkce (with dots over U and the French c with the comma coming off of it). The subtitles were the same except no Chinese glyph. WOW!Details of item, c 2013 Dreamworks Animation LLC and c 2013 Twentieth Century Fox Home Ent.

You get a real digital copy from the DVD which you get to keep and do not have to go online to download it AND a UV copy to stream. Not everyone has an Internet subscription with multi Gigabytes (or Gibbabytes) for downloading. It does not expire until October 1, 2015.I really liked it. It was funny, very well done, great dialog, beautiful and very creative animals and scenery. Just like the case says it is an "animated Avatar" (which most of that movie is). The animals and flora were so colorful, mixed up designs and imaginative.I think the whole family would love this movie and the only caveat I would mention is that the family is pretty rough with each other, especially at first.The little stuffed animal, Belt, is little and soft and looks just like the character in the movie.

The Croods is a good, very good, not great movie. It has wonderful acting (voice) and the CGI/animation is well done (not the style I adore, but the quality of the work is very apparent). I saw this movie in 3D when it first came out with my son (6 at the time) and it was the first time he sat through a whole movie. Plot is clever and the animals are cute. The "chemistry" of the cast is really good. The HD version on Amazon streamed perfectly and the controls were fine, just not intuitive. Once I knew where and what the control did it was good. I personally watch movies with closed caption turned on, Not hard of hearing but like to keep up with clever scripts.
