The Croods

A great family movie 

The Croods tells the story of the world's first family road trip. When their cave is 

destroyed, the Crood family must embark on a comedy adventure into strange and 

spectacular territory in search of a new home. As if patriarch Grug didn't already have 

enough to handle, it goes from bad to worse when they encounter an imaginative nomad 

named Guy. With Guy's help the Croods conquer their fear of the outside world and 

discover that they have exactly what it takes to survive - eachother.

A classic, or the new rendition?


A classic, or the new rendition? 

I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz, it is such a classic that I think everyone can enjoy. The new rendition is actually quite good, but I don’t think it trumps the original at all. The only aspect that would be better in the new one than the original is the amount of effects that are used. The special effects in Oz the Great and Powerful are much more spectacular, but if you consider the time period the original was made in, those effects are pretty fantastic as well.
