Crood Awakening is an upcoming animated film being produced by DreamWorks Animation. The original script was co-written by John Cleese and Kirk DeMicco, and the project began as a coproduction with Aardman Animations. On October 3, 2006 (a month before the release of Flushed Away), it was reported that DreamWorks and Aardman would not be continuing their production and distribution deal due to "creative differences." ^[1] Aardman later announced that they would no longer have any involvement with the production of Crood Awakening following the split. ^[2] In March 2007, DreamWorks announced that the film will be directed by Chris Sanders, who will likely be doing a significant rewrite of the script.^[3]

The film is expected to be released in November 2009.

[edit] Plot

The film is about a stone age tribal leader named Crood whose position as Leader of the Hunt is challenged by a prehistoric genius who comes up with revolutionary new inventions…like fire.
