Hot Clip: ‘The Croods’

• When I saw the trailer I had little hope. However I saw a screening and loved it. This is the first time I’ve seen a 3d movie worthy of 3d in a long time.

• I saw it this morning too and agree. The movie is gorgeous and I think it delivered the rebellious teenage daughter story much better than Brave did. Also, Nic Cage as a caveman, what took so long?

• This is going to be another huge money pit, I don’t care how good it looks visually (which I have to admit the surrounding looks brilliant).
  Kids need substance, look at kids movies that are loved not for a couple of hours but for years and can be watched over and over not to mention the important being tolerable for adults to watch over and over.

  So far there has been very little story shown, give us some substance dammit.

• This clip is awful if the movie is this bad it will keep DWA stock as low as it now is possibly even lower. DWA went from $10 to $45 now it’s back to $10 if it drops to $5 then Katzenberg will be forced to sell the company to FOX and they will be a subsidiary animation studio in perpetuity.

  • It looks lovely, but I thought we already had 4 Ice Age before. Why do all dreamworks characters move the faces the same way? The faces are never subtle. It seems as if the face muscles where moved with strings. It always bothers me. I’m looking forward for something different than Ice Age, but I read a bit about the story and it sounds boring and same old “lets just smash a lot of cool shots with no character development”. I really want to like dreamworks but they really went low with Guardians and I hope this one is different *cross fingers*

    • Where do you see the ice, Anonymous? This thing of Pixar versus DreamWorks is a lot of fun for non-Americans, considering that, as far as I know, the people who made this film were with Disney before moving to DreamWorks. I disagree with regard to the remark that the faces are not subtle. I find them incredibly expressive and the animation is stunning. Competition is the creative lymph for anything while monopoly is never fruitful.

  • The clip is fantastic and if the US had sent the movie in competition to the Berlinale – where it was enthusiastically received by the public and critics – who knows? it would probably have gotten some prize. It was defined as ‘an explosion of vitality and intelligence’.

• Don’t worry. When it gets closer to the release date, they’ll put out a longer trailer that gives away every single plot point for people with no imagination who need everything spelled out for them.

• Not good is that is the best 30 seconds they could share of the film.

• Looks like crap. D’Works has run out of ideas.

• How can one cartoon contain so much ugly? Bad design, acting , and cinematography. Truly amateur hour. No wonder it’s tracking so badly.
