They must learn how to get along with one another and they have many adventurous life lessons along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the story line because it\u2019s relatable to real life. The family conflicts and differences make the movie unpredictable. The characters are well developed. The production is state of the art. It is highly colorful and engaging from start to finish.&nbsp;The film is a great follow-up to the first one. My favorite part is when the main characters, Phil Betterman and Grug, are in the Jacuzzi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message in the film is that we do not have to look the same and we all have far more in common than we realize.&nbsp;It\u2019s okay to look different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give&nbsp;<em>The Croods: A New Age<\/em>&nbsp;5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for&nbsp;ages 4 to 12. It releases in theaters on November 25, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Searching for a safer habitat, the prehistoric Crood family discovers an idyllic, walled-in paradise that meets all of its needs.
