Speaking with a fan site for The Croods, Chris Sanders reveals some interesting trivia about another DreamWorks feature, Rise of the Guardians. Upon joining the studio in 2007, the director was apparently given a choice between The Croods and Guardians. β€œThe Croods was the one that was up and running and ready to go,” he says. β€œIt was actively being written at that point, and I loved the caveman thing, so I picked The Croods.” Co-directed by Kirk DeMicco, The Croods will hit theaters on March 22, while Guardians arrived on Blu-ray last Tuesday.
