Early Man is an animated film about a bunch of cavemen and the bronze people, who live in their own groups but happen to cross paths with each other. Later on the caveman's home is taken over by the bronze people, but is settled by a simple game of football. I enjoyed this game as it showed different groups of people coming together over a small game and made it comical while doing it. The type of people that I think would enjoy this would be smaller children, ages 5+, as there isn't anything bad involved but it contains moments which they may find funny, its not only younger people who would find this funny, i think all ages would as there were small jokes which older people might get as well.

The claymation used in this film is good as its all flows together and there isn't anything that looked like it was missing from it or shortened by a part missing. Also the sounds used with this claymation worked well with what was happening at that moment in time, and there was a good use of songs during the whole animation for example when there were faster paced moments coming the music got quicker, to keep the pace going.
