The Croods sequel is the exact same quality as the first film, y'all just weren't allergic to fun anymore when it came out
#Limes Blabs#The Croods#The Croods A New Age#The Croods 2#i've always had a genuine love for the first movie it's such a sweet story#a teenager finds freedom outside of the oppressive but ''safe'' world that previous generations forced upon her#and her father widens his narrow worldview to include her freedom and ability to grow beyond what he's always known#i fucking wonder why that speaks to me as a very leftist person with a conservative parent#croods 2 takes the lessons from the first film and shows further expansion on the parent-child relationship as Eep becomes an adult#she's always gonna be close with and love her father. but she needs her own space to be a proper adult#i also love having so much more focus on Guy's backstory and his feelings towards Eep#i feel like i perfectly understood where he was coming from without forgiving all of his missteps

I can shit on The Croods: A New Age as much as I want,but what can’t be denied is that the plot greatly highlighted two extremes: Croods and Bettermens.While the cavemen can be overwhelming,they’re also straightforward and affectionate with each other.Meanwhile Bettermens are aware of the need of privacy,but they lost the ability to openly talk about their issues,which resulted in Phil having secrets from his wife and both becoming passive aggressive.
In the end both parties learned something from one another:Phil and Hope became more open and ongoing,finally trusting their daughter to do her own thing; Grug started respecting Eeps and Guys wish to be independent from him.These families found the golden middle between closeness and giving space.
#the movie’s still a big no-no for me#my family chose this instead of shrek 2 to watch during new year and i haven’t recovered since#croods a new age#the croods#dreamworks#cartoons#movie analysis

never occurred to me that how much stronger the Croods got as they wandered in the wilderness for how long
They depended on Grug in the first movie because he is known to be strong. Now in the second movie, the rest of the family seemed to gain strength too
I could also argue that they were already strong in the initial movie, and the Betterman's don't do much manual lifting and the fact they are still Cavemen
But I couldn't help but notice that Grug's strength was overshadowed in the second movie
Also props to Guy for falling for a woman who can kick his ass

An Idea for Croods 3??
Even though they’re probably already working on it lol.
So I find myself thinking about that concept art for Croods 2 and the scrapped characters. I’ve thought since the beginning that I wished something could have been done with the designs. I’ve been mulling an idea about it tonight for some reason so here goes:
Croods and Croods 2 were funny as heck and if they made a third film of course the focus would still need to be on comedy. However! I feel like if the Croods 3 were to end the whole shebang, and it probably should, then it should be the most daring of the Croods movies, with the most to say and, well, just “goes there”.
The first Croods movie actually briefly touched upon a few of these kinds of issues but I think they need to really tackle them head on in a final film. What am I talking about some of you might wonder? Abuse. Of course though none of our main players would commit such acts, so we need a new family with these problems. And I think I know just the one!
Croods is in need of a proper, hate-able villain... And I think this guy should be him.
They probably originally designed him as more the bumbling/overbearing but ultimately loving/caring and well-meaning type dad like Grug is supposed to be. However, since Grug already fills that role, I think this guy would be better suited as a villain/the dark combination of Grug’s strength and Phil’s intelligence and need for perfectionism. Like he might get along with both dads at first bc he has things in common with both, but eventually he gives off the vibes as being the kind of guy who expects what he thinks of to be as perfection/idealism, or else. His own general appearance gives off this vibe, but then you look at the art of his potential wife...
This woman... Bugs me so dang much. XD;;; Like the art itself is cute, she looks fun and fun to draw, but she looks so disgustingly perfect for a cavewoman, and she especially looks out of place as a Croods cavewoman. But I think that could be what possibly elevates this character and makes it make sense. Maybe there’s a reason she looks and acts so unnaturally “perfect”. Maybe it’s bc it’s what her husband demands of her, and her perfection reflects her fear of her imperfections ever being seen...
After all, the caveman stereotype we tend to think of is a much more violent type of man. Grug himself taps into this violence when he thinks he needs to protect his family, but I just can’t stop thinking about that “joke” Gran made about her father essentially tearing her apart from her true love and actually SELLING her to another mate. THAT’S FKIN CANON LIKE DAMN. So why not have at least one villainous caveman type character? Why not have one jerk who is willing to pull his wife by the hair and order her around who the others eventually have to square up against as a true family?
Also I feel like this girl...
And this one were probably meant to be sisters, maybe...? They look too unlike each other to be the same character I think, but I also think that’s what they should do with her. Like the first image is who she is forced to be at first by her dad, making her into a mini version of her mother who he also molds through intimidation. But the second image could be closer to what she really wants to look like/looks like by the end. Cavegirl BFFs are great but what about a whole Cavegirl Posse, dude!
Also speaking of Gran, if this third story were to focus more on issues like these, I feel like it would only be fair to go back to Gran’s issues too. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still have just a lil fun with it lol...
Like I’m thinking it would be hilarious if Gran just casually mentions something horrifying happening to her in her youth like she did that one time at the dinner table, and she’s laughing it off at first, but then Hope/Dawn or Eep/Thunk or someone casually remarks to her, “Wow Gran, that actually sounds really awful! If that happened to me I’d probably be traumatized for life!”
At which point it slowly dawns on Gran how messed up it actually was. She slowly starts to sob. It gets SUPER massively uncomfortably awkward while she’s crying, all the other characters look really unsure what do to at first... Finally, one of them reaches over and gives Gran one or two quick pats on the back, and she immediately stops sobbing and exclaims in her normal voice, “ALRIGHT, I’M OVER THAT! I’M TOO OLD TO BE TRAUMATIZED! GIMME MORE FOOD!” XD

Here is the original Encanto Recast Meme Template. I got the idea to do my own recasting of the film after seeing The Four Animation Production's YouTube video, Non/Disney Trailer- Encanto.
Mirabel Madrigal= Anna (Frozen; as they both have older sisters with magical powers while they weren't born with any of their own)
Isabela Madrigal= Rapunzel (Tangled)
Luisa Madrigal = Eep Crood (The Croods)
Antonio Madrigal = Chin (Over the Moon)
Dolores Madrigal= Dawn Betterman (The Croods: A New Age; odd choice I know but I wasn't 100% sure who to cast as Dolores)
Camilo Madrigal= Alberto Scorfano (Luca; as Alberto also has a shapeshifting ability)
Julieta Madrigal= Iduna (Frozen; because of who I cast as Mirabel)
Agustín Madrigal= Agnarr (Frozen; because of who I cast as Mirabel)
Pepa Madrigal= Eunice Stein (Hotel Transylvania)
Félix Madrigal= Frankenstein (Hotel Transylvania)
Alma Madrigal= Yelana (Frozen II)
Bruno Madrigal= The Once-ler (The Lorax)
Pico= Heihei (Moana)

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: The Croods: A New Age
So back when I watched the first entry in The Croods series, I was actually pretty plesantly surprised. But believe it or not, this movie managed to surprise me even more, because not only is it good, its actually, like... really good?? Shocking, I know, so let's get into why I think that.
We rejoin the Croods as they continue on their quest for a new home, eventually crossing paths with the Bettermans, a much more "advanced" family that's just a little more evolved than they are. Initially disliking the chaos the Croods bring to their family and their home, the Bettermans devise a plan to get rid of the cavefamily, while convincing Guy to stay, as his family was friends with the Bettermans and they see him as a perfect match for their daughter, Dawn. From there, well, damn a whole bunch happens, with lots of twists and turns I wasn't expecting as these two incredibly different families buck heads and learn to accept each other.
So yeah, the plot here is pretty solid and very character focused, which is probably why I liked it so much. Like we really do just have so much emphasis on character interactions and dynamics here, with some really great standouts being Dawn and Eep's friendship (they're lesbians, harold) that could have just as easily been a jealous rivalry for Guy, but isn't, the eventual epic bromance between Phil and Grug, Ugga and Hope initially hating each other but eventually coming to terms with each other, Gran just being The Character Ever, and so much more. There's a lot going on here, but there's so much to like about it! I'm impressed!
So yeah, speaking of the characters, I already liked the Croods family in the first movie, but they're even better here. Grug is still the typical overprotective dad trying to keep the family together, but he's way less overbearing about it than he was in the first movie. We also see some good progression in Eep and Guy's relationship, and I think they're a pretty cute and solid couple! The Bettermans are also a lot of fun! Phil and Hope start out as sort of selfish, manipulative jerks who just want the Croods out of their lives, but they go through some pretty solid development and learn to appreciate the Croods and welcome them into their home. Dawn is also a lot of fun, a girl who has spent her life living on the safe side, so of course, she readily takes Eep up on the offer to have some fun the first chance she gets.
The movie doesn't have much in the way of an antagonist, aside from the punch monkeys, which are a pretty funny final act obstacle for the families to overcome. Really though, the conflict here really does center on the friction between the Croods and the Bettermans, and the film does such a great job of developing that friction and naturally bringing both families to a good place with each other.
The humor here is also a lot better than the first movie's. Sure, there's still a handful of grossout jokes here and there, but a lot of the jokes here just come from the characters being themselves (like I said, Gran is a standout for the Crazy Old Lady trope, and also, a total badass in her own right). I think that tends to be my favorite kind of humor with Dreamworks movies, when the jokes lean on these characters reacting to situations in their own unique, humorous way.
The animation has also been stepped up here quite a bit. The character designs look better somehow, and the movement they have to them is very fluid. The film is just bursting with color throughout, with set pieces that are just as creative and pretty to look at as the first film's. The music was pretty average, but I'm fine with that because I was so impressed with everything else.
So yeah, Croods 2. Who could have guessed this was a surprisingly great movie? I certainly didn't, I went into this movie with the barest expectations possible and came out having thoroughly enjoyed it. I earnestly recommend it for anyone who's looking for a fun film with a good story and great characters. It may just surprise you, like it surprised me.
Overall Rating: 8/10
Verdict: LET'S GO LESBIANS LET'S GO

Guys! I found the new trailer for GXK!!!
I'm kidding, it's just an animatic I did when the first teaser dropped this year. "Godzilla X Kong: Across the Monkeverse", I called it.
I'm hyped as Hell for the new movie regardless, but I'm just hoping it isn't just "Godzilla But Mostly Kong 2: Bigger, Konglier, and Uncut".
Audio is (mostly) from "The Croods: A New Age"
