Which tells the story of the last family of cavemen “The Croods” who is afraid of change and to experience new things, but they are forced to leave their cave and live the greatest adventure, they had never had.

Something that makes this movie unique and interesting is the background sound, the scenery and special effects, because each of them is wonderful. First, it has some great songs, each leter is appropriate according to  the scene, Alan Silvestri composed the original music for the film. And also includes “Shine Your way”, an original song perfomed  by Owl City. Second, the scenery used in this movie is a great prehistoric time, but the most interesting is that animals we see in the movie are combinations of animals for example one of the most curious was “Douglas” a crocodile dog, this animal had the body of a puppy but with crocodile mouth, and finally special effects in this movie are amazing, combination and  the colors are fantastic, what helps us not to lose any detail and captures every emotion experienced in the movie.

In addition, from this movie we can learn to start using our brain, changing your thinking, and coming up with new ideas! We have moved from the industrial age to the information age. The old adage of “go to school, get good grades, get a good secure job, and live the American dream” is not working like it used to! It’s time to get some new thinking and become more entrepreneurial. The world has chaged and if we want to succeed in the information age we will need some new thinking!

So why don’t you take a visit to the land of “The Croods” family and snuggle down with a bucket of popcorn and a can of coke, and there you have it, you are watching one of the best children’s movies around. So go and visit Eep, Guy, and the wonderful Croods and watch their amazing adventure to follow the light and save themselves before the world crumbles at their feet. It’s a must see!
