Storyline

Grungy, in-your-face claymation comedy about a family of cavemen in prehistorical times, as they struggle to survive in a dangerous world, armed only with their wits - or half of them, anyway. The characters are seen involved in awkward, uncomfortable or plain stupid activities. Grandpa's solution to everything is to hit it on the head with his club; Mother has no idea how to look after her baby; and they all indulge in bodily functions in public. Watch them as they fight dinosaurs, discover fire and lose it again immediately, and, of course, hit each other on the head with clubs.

User Reviews

Gogs rocks!

The "Gogs" are a prehistoric family that interact with dinosaurs etc. on a daily basis. They are like a prehistoric 'Simpsons' only less like 'The Flintstones' and more like 'Ren and Stimpy'. Confused? Don't be. The Gogs are entertaining, and gross at the same time. The guy who continuously blows snot bubbles from his nose seems to have no other purpose, but this is what makes it fun. The clymation adds a textured feel that is sometimes missing in slick animation/computer generated programs.
