SYNOPSIS
Based on a script by John Cleese and Kirk De Micco, formerly titled "Crood Awakening," this is set in the Stone Age, to a previously undiscovered era known as the Croodacious - a time when Mother Nature was still experimenting and the flora and fauna we know today hasn't evolved yet. This is about a big man in a small village called Crood. His position as Leader of the Hunt is threatened by the arrival of a prehistoric genius who comes up with revolutionary new inventions... like fire.PREVIEW NOTES

"Ron and I wanted to make a film that looked at what it means to be an outsider and we wanted to explore what it takes to reach out to someone whose life is very removed from your own."
