What is missing most in the 21st century? Imagination!

Quoting a high praise comment in the short review: "Heroes saving beauty has become a thing of the past, and the wave of feminization is sweeping."

I like the dramatic imagination of this movie, the hero and heroine fall in love, the father obstructs, the villain captures the heroine, the hero and the father work together to save the heroine, the traditional hero saves America-style adventure motif has become a thing of the past, Thunder Sisters Come on stage, ride a tarantula and make a riot in the monkey's den to save your man from fire and water. What I like most is this kind of imagination, which is reasonable and unexpected.

In addition to the imagination of the story, there are also the characters and plots of the movie, such as the tarantula, the combination of Erha and the spider, which is really cute. The self-proclaimed "civilized" home buildings, elevators, treehouses, windows, etc., the playful imagination adds to the film's comedy as well as irony. Brothers who can't walk when they see the window, sisters in high walls, are afraid of being hurt. These funny imaginations satirize reality in the form of animation.

The main line of the story is very simple, but adding a number of branch lines, and narrating the branch lines without cumbersome, can also promote the development of the main line. The whole main line is tolerance and growth, among which growth includes the growth of the father, the growth of the mother, the growth of the daughter, and the growth of the male protagonist (forgive me for not remembering their names). After a well-mannered "civilized person" became a mad flower swamp water in Thunderbolt, the cool hairstyle and great contrast, I have to say, nice. Primitive man also subverts the real primitive in the traditional sense, adds modern elements, romantic elements, and displays it in the form of imaginative animation.

All in all, this sequel has caught the word of mouth of the previous work.

The Croods: A New Age quotes

  • Eep: [about Guy] I can't believe he would choose a tree over me.

    Ugga: I don't think it's that sample. Guy knew the Bettermans when he was little. They're the closest thing he has to a family.

  • Ugga: Eep, if something hurts this much, maybe it means you do care. maybe it's something worth fighting for. So, what are you gonna do about it?
