More Detail:
One of the world’s first families, the Croods, fear the new until one day their cave is destroyed in the animated adventure, THE CROODS. THE CROODS is a fun adventure with a family who truly love each other, but it has some environmentalist elements.
Grug loves to protect his family, including his wife, mother in law, teenage daughter Eep, son, and baby daughter. With the motto being “Fear is in the new,” the Croods almost always stay protected in their cave. Eep wants to move out of the cave, to see the light and have adventure. However, knowing the world is a dangerous place, Grug advises against her leaving.
One night Eep sees a light and follows it outside of the cave. It turns out the light is a fire made by Guy, another human whom Eep has never met. Excited, Eep demands Guy to show her how he made the fire. Suddenly, when Eep returns to the cave, the world literally changes with a platonic shift and the family’s cave is destroyed. Pushed out into the new and unknown, the Croods decide to head towards the Mountain in order not to be crushed themselves.
On their journey to the Mountain, the Croods encounter Guy, who, being new, the family questions. Guy knows what’s happening with the world, and he has new inventions to cope with these changes. Most of the family embraces the changes. Everyone, that is, except for Grug. Completely enticed by Guy, Eep is excited Guy is showing the way, but this leads her father to be even more protective of her. Will the Croods be able to make it to a new life?
