The Croods (2013)
Director: Chris Sanders, Kirk De Micco
Synopsis
Nic Cage voices a caveman in this comedy animation from the Dreamworks stable. Forced out of his home by an earthquake, Grug takes his family on the road (well, maybe path) and encounters an imaginative nomad (Ryan Reynolds) whose forward-thinking unsettles him. His daughter (Emma Stone), however, has other ideas about the attractive stranger. The writer-directors of this have form with ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ and ‘Space Chimps’ so there may well be family appeal.
