Antara Gapi



The second movie that we rushed to was - The Croods. I really love it :)

It’s very colorful; visually as The Croods began to venture deeper into an exotic land in search of a new cave, much different from their usual, grey surroundings of rocky terrain. I like the character Guy; a pre-historic genius who comes up with revolutionary new inventions (like fire) & ideas and how he brought the family together. I like the concept of Hope & Tomorrow which I think what everyone should look forward to. Guy’s pet Sloth who also double up as his pants ‘belt’ is also funny – always belting out ‘Ta Daa’ at every appropriate scene. I also love the soundtrack 'Shine On You' - a duet between Owl City and our very own Yuna.

There are many scenes that I enjoyed:

(1) The family was being chased by a ‘Macawnivore’ (a large, macaw colored machairodont, later called Chunky).

(2) The family was being attacked by a swarm of ‘Piranhakeets’ (deadly red-furred, piranha-like birds).

(3) The family accidentally burn down the land around them in flames after they have become captivated with the fire that Guy has created. Some giant corn is also lit up, which rockets up to the sky, prompting a display of fireworks and covers them as popcorn :)

(4) After a slew of Guy's ideas to help The Croods on their continuing journey, all of the family members gain something. Ugga, her mother and baby Sandy have their first idea on how to get past the carnivorous plants; which taught them on how to to think & survive (and also showed what Ugga looked like without her hair band), Thunk encounters a crocodile-like dog who he calls Douglas which teaches him bravery (and later teaches Douglas to roll off a tree) & Eep and Guy grow closer together.

(5) Grug invents the first hug with Eep.

(6) Grug invents how family pictures should be taken, with a stone slab :)

Let’s ride out towards the sun for "Tomorrow".
