The soundtrack is rousing and lively, though appropriately subdued in the more touching moments. At the top of my head, only the Vincent Price film House of Wax(also given the 3D treatment) has had that effect on me. If you see The Croods, try and see it in 3D if you can, I am usually not a fan of the 3D gimmick but this is one of those instances where the action is enhanced instead of the 3D detracting from it. The animation however is really wonderful, it is detailed and very colourful with the character designs well modelled and convincing in movement. And I also thought that the film was a little too long, some of the story structure towards the end seemed on the verge of petering out. I did think that the ending was a cop-out, it seemed to me that the film didn't know how or when it was going to end and it seemed too convenient also. And it was much better than anticipated and what the trailer made it out to be, in fact I found myself liking The Croods very much. But as I love animation so much and because I believe in giving any film a chance, I went ahead and watched The Croods anyway. Watching the trailer for The Croods, admittedly I wasn't entirely impressed. Dreamworks have been hit and miss for me(mostly hits), while I love The Prince of Egypt and How to Train Your Dragon, Shark Tale and Bee Movie left me underwhelmed.
