The original “The Croods” (2013), about a family of Neanderthal cave dwellers, created such an exotic world and fetching, original atmosphere that when its (voice) cast rode their menagerie of prehistoric pets down the beach and into the sunset, you wanted to go with them so the movie would not end. Those are the best kinds of kids’ movies. Actually, the best any kind of movies. One had hoped “The Croods: A New Age” would be more of the same.
