DreamWorks Animation and Universal Studios have pulled the plug on the long-gestating sequel to the 2013 hit, The Croods.

Universal Pictures Chairman, Donna Langley met with workers at DreamWorks Animation's Glendale headquarters on Thursday to confirm that production of The Croods 2 was being stopped immediately, reported an online portal. Some 30 employees who have been working on the film, launched three years ago, will be looking for new jobs.

The workers were told that DreamWorks hopes to keep them at the company. Some could be shifted to other film projects, while others might be put into training or “artistic development” programs, according to an individual at Universal, who asked not to be named.

The initial Croods film charmed audiences with the tale of a family that deals with problems - big and small.
