The Croods: Family Tree

I've watched this several times and although I love the croods from the movies to the cartoon series on Netflix and now the series on Stan, I really didn't like Guy in The Family Tree series. The actor that does the voice over put too much emphasis on the S's which made it really annoying and his character is a little too weak, it was almost like he's a different "Guy" and ao I took one star off for that otherwise it would have gotten all star rating from me. Everything else and everyone else that did voice overs were amazing and really made the characters relatable to the movie characters. If I didn't love the croods so much I actually wouldn't watch this at all because of Guy's character. He just really annoys me in this series and so does the actor.

Animation isn't as slick as the movies, writing isn't as funny as the series Dawn of the Croods. This is very redundant like the Kung-Fu Panda series was. It's the cheap version. And if you've just watched all 4 seasons of the Dawn of the Croods, some of the storylines will be familiar. So, overall, pretty boring.

From the first movie to the second it changed to a less of quality. I never would've imagined the TV series would be worse. Watching The Croods was the most rewarding experience in decades, it was like going back to the Flintstones, going on adventures with them against the environment was fascinating. Until someone came up with the idea of bringing in a modern family and starting a dispute. At that moment all the innovative brilliance derailed, lowering the quality of the writing to nowadays constant not funny unpleasant gossip. What a waste, a demonstration of how to sabotage a stunning animation concept. The theme is good, the characters are likable, but they should continue to explore the environment rather than focusing on the neighbor's affairs.

Barely a blip of change from the movies noticed. The quality graphics, brilliant colors, new beasts, plants and storylines are top-notch and fully consistent with the hilarious and fun movies.

Bravo, and I'm ready for more!

I vaguely remember seeing this was in production a while ago and just watched the first episode. They did a decent job of replacing the voice actors.

The big thing about the Croods is the gorgeous, imaginative animation and design.

Those are gone. They dialed back the animation to a bare bones degree. Trollhunters set a high bar for what they can do and even the much earlier Dragonriders Race for the Edge was better animated. The characters are stiff and the backgrounds nowhere near as lush. Yes, this is 'tv' quality, but it seems on the cheap end. There are better shows with higher quality in writing and animation. I guess Hulu doesn't pay as well as Netflix.
