I vaguely remember seeing this was in production a while ago and just watched the first episode. They did a decent job of replacing the voice actors.
The big thing about the Croods is the gorgeous, imaginative animation and design.
Those are gone. They dialed back the animation to a bare bones degree. Trollhunters set a high bar for what they can do and even the much earlier Dragonriders Race for the Edge was better animated. The characters are stiff and the backgrounds nowhere near as lush. Yes, this is 'tv' quality, but it seems on the cheap end. There are better shows with higher quality in writing and animation. I guess Hulu doesn't pay as well as Netflix.
