Early Man is a claymation film in which a village of cave people gets invaded by Lord Nooth (voiced by Tom Hiddleston). The movie stars Eddie Redmayne as Dug, a simple cave man who’s village gets invaded and he finds himself thrown into civilization where he meets Gooda, voiced by Maisie Williams.

It turns out the “civilized” people from the Bronze City stole the sport of soccer, which was created by the cave people. In order for the invaders to leave the village, Dug, with coaching by Gooda, must train the cave people how to play soccer and win their village back from Lord Nooth.

I had no idea this movie was about sports, I think kids will LOVE this movie. Adults will like it too, especially dads because there are TONS of puns and dad jokes.

I appreciate claymation so much, it just adds so much more character and feeling that you don’t get from CGI films

Rating: 3 out of 5
