I watched this back when it might have been on the list of nominees for the Oscar, which it did not make the cut for, but was (surprising to me) an enjoyable diversion, because I did not love the first one.
The Croods are out and about in the prehistoric landscape when they meet up with the Betterman's--you do not have to dig too deep to be able to assume that the Crood's are a bit crude and the Betterman's are living the cave man's best life. They have running water, a plantation of constantly producing fruit trees, elaborate indoor dwellings built around a utopian landscape. It turns out that it really is just one bunch of bananas away from falling apart, and in every village every man and their skills count. It is also about opposites attracting and makes a case for parents staying out of the match making game. Very much a move best suited for the elementary age set.
