What is The Croods about?
The prehistoric Croods family live in a particularly dangerous moment in time. Patriarch Grug, his mate Ugga, teenage daughter Eep, son Thunk, and feisty Gran gather food by day and huddle together in a cave at night. When a more evolved caveman named Guy arrives on the scene, Grug is distrustful, but it soon becomes apparent that Guy is correct about the impending destruction of their world.
The Croods is a 2013 American animated adventure comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation. The film was directed by Chris Sanders and Kirk DeMicco, who also co-wrote the screenplay, and stars the voices of Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener, Clark Duke, and Cloris Leachman. It is set in a fictional prehistoric Pliocene era known as "The Croodaceous" where Grug (Cage), patriarch of the Croods, is threatened by the arrival of a genius named Guy (Reynolds), who comes up with revolutionary new inventions as they trek through a dangerous land in search of a new home.
