Universal Cancels Dreamwork’s ‘The Croods 2’

Ever since NBCUniversal’s acquisition of Dreamworks Animation back in April, the parent company hasn’t done much to change the animation company’s line-up that much, until now.

According to Variety, Universal Pictures Chairman Donna Langley met with the studio last week to pull the plug on the highly anticipated project The Croods 2. Originally aiming for a release in 2018, The Croods 2 would have been a follow up to 2013’s animation hit The Croods. The film was directed by Chris Sanders (same director of Lilo & Stitch, and How to Train Your Dragon) and centered around a caveman family traversing a new land after their home get’s destroyed. Nicolas Cage was also the star, and that alone makes the movie a 10/10.
