Well, what can I say except the this was a surprisingly better than expected sequel to Dreamworks' The Croods, about a lonely family of cavepeople finding a new home while staying safe from predators. It made me have a good time at the cinema and I had fun seeing this film.

This film takes place after the original after The Croods make a new friend named Guy, who becomes the eldest daughter Eep's boyfriend. The Croods was still looking for a home when they came across a new land where there was plenty to eat and there were no wild animals who would try to harm the family. They also encounter an inventive family called "The Betterman's" who have only one daughter who makes friends with Eep, however over time Guy enjoys living with The Betterman's more than The Croods which breaks Eep's heart. In the meantime, Grug has arguments with Phil Betterman. Can both The Croods and The Betterman's resolve their differences or will they not live together very well in the end?

The film had excellent animation and voice acting. It deals with a lot of social issues such as arguments, disagreements and relationships. There was a lot of creativity and imagination set in this world, and there were a lot of scenes that made me feel like having a good time.

Some scenes felt slow-paced, like when the two families argue with each other and other scenes felt a little boring. There was also a plot twist in the end that was very similar to the plot twist of another Dreamworks animation movie "How to train your dragon" which I will share with you in the spoilers. It is by far my least favourite animated film of 2021, even though it was still a good movie. There was also an ending that was very similar to "How To Train Your Dragon" which I have mentioned already and will reveal in spoilers.

None

I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in stories about Cavemen from millions of years ago, as well as fans of animated films. This film would also appeal to anyone who likes to see innovation in a film set during the stone age era and films about family just like the original.

There were some words like "Dumb", "Stupid" and "Twits" used throughout this film. There was also some potty humour as well.

There is an opening sequence in which Guy's parents get stuck in tar and urge their son to keep on moving and go on with his life. There were some characters who were prepared to be sacrificed to a giant monster mandrill and it looks like that they might be killed. There was punching included between monkeys and humans and electrocutions that don't cause actual harm.

There is frequent peril in the film. The characters battle the monster mandrill and some appear to be in mortal danger. The Characters are shown trying to survive animal attacks in a slapstick, cartoonish manner though this might bring worry and stress to some autistic people. The menacing monkeys with glowing eyes and large fists might scare some autistic people, not just children. There is also a species which is a cross between wolves and tarantulas that might scare some people.

Some autistic people might be affected by the colourful backgrounds and settings, while others might also be affected by the film's flashing images and sudden moments and effects. There is frequent peril throughout the film that might make some autistic people anxious and others might find it hard to cope with the arguments the Croods and Bettermans make with each other. Some autistic people might also be anxious to know what will happen next or feel anxious about the film's pacing.

Some autistic people might need a parent or companion to explain to them what is happening in the story and whatever the characters talk about. If the autistic person has any worries, then the companion would reassure them that nobody who is good would die. I would also recommend anyone to see "The Croods" from 2013 first so that anyone would understand where the opening of the sequel left off from.
