It's obvious to anyone who's seen The Croods that Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds had a great time making it.

But little did we know that when we sat down with them, we'd get to hear about a whole lot more - including Cage's Shrek casting snaffu, and Stone and Reynolds' fondness for apples and.... champagne enemas?!

The latest movie from DreamWorks' animation stable follows the escapades of prehistoric family The Croods, as they venture out of their cavebound existence into a dazzling, monster-filled world.
