When you make a cartoon about a prehistoric family, you usually end up taking a few liberties with reality. From caveman strength to Paleolithic physics, here are some things that only adults notice in The Croods.
The environment the Croods reside in is stark and barren. It's a dusty wasteland occupied by feisty birds and a cat-owl hybrid with a caveman vendetta. Don't sweat it though, kiddos, our ancestors are mighty and resilient. They can throw massive stones and run like the wind. It's a cartoon grab bag of Wile E. Coyote shenanigans. However, in the first few minutes after an outstretched hall-of-fame catch sends him sliding headfirst into a boulder the family's patriarch, Grug, throws out a light-hearted quip that will have parents raising an eyebrow or two.
David: Maybe these aren't cavemen on Earth. Maybe these are Neanderthals placed on another planet by aliens as a long term experiment in evolution. From there you could come up with explainations for almost every issue. Date: 2020-11-27
