Grug: The hardest working her in history. For Grug, there are
no weekends, holidays or days. Like most dads, Grug is
fiercely protective of his family, and his hyper-vigilance is
defined by his “fear is good; change is bad” philosophy. But in
order to keep his family truly safe, Grug must learn the
difference between surviving and living.
Ugga: Grug’s mate. She’s every bit as solid and sure as Grug, but
over their many years of raising their children together, Ugga
has always deferred to her husband’s authority. When she suddenly
finds herself in the position of being a cave-wife with no cave,
Ugga is forced to make the right decision for her family -- even
if it means changing the way they live.
Eep: Grug’s rebellious teenage daughter is trying to drag her
family kicking and screaming into the future. Her nagging feeling
that there might be more to life outside the family cave is
confirmed when the Croods embark on a journey of a lifetime.
Thunk: Grug’s son is 6-feet, 3-inches tall, 280 pounds, and 9
years old. Thunk wants to be a great hunter like his dad, but
Thunk can’t hit the broad side of a mammoth.
Gran: Grug’s feisty mother-in-law is truly ancient, at age 45.
Her twilight years haven’t diminished her irascibility, or her
instincts for survival.
Sandy: The youngest of the Croods, four-year-old Sandy is as
feral and vicious as a baby wildcat. In a dangerous world full of
creatures trying to take a bite out of her, Sandy is not afraid
to bite back.
Guy: A charming teenage boy who makes dazzling discoveries (like
fire and shoes), Guy is a catalyst for change. His inventive
ideas ultimately expose the Croods to new possibilities... and a
new world.
Belt: This sloth is the world’s first pet, and Guy’s best friend.
Belt can't talk, but his signature sing-song expression of doom –
“Da da daaaaaaaa!” -- speaks volumes.
Macawnivore: With the body of a small tiger, an over-sized head
and the colorization of a Macaw Parrot, the Macawnivore is an
imposing creature who towers over the Croods.
Crocopup: An unexpected blend of canine and crocodile, his
menacing looks and razor sharp teeth a friendly demeanor.
Thunk makes him his pet, and names him Douglas.
Punch Monkey: Fun and charming, until they feel threatened, the
Punch Monkeys aren’t easily intimidated and, as their name
suggests, pack quite a wallop.
Even breakfast is an adventure when you're the last surviving
prehistoric family, and the conviction that fear keeps you alive
and curiosity will get you killed definitely drives the Crood
clan. But Eep (Emma Stone), who's in many ways a typical teenager
intent on testing her boundaries and the resolve of her parents
(Nicolas Cage and Catherine Keener), yearns for more than hiding
out in a dark cave all day. Eep sneaks out of the cave one night
and almost gets the whole family killed, but her path crosses
with a boy named Guy (Ryan Reynolds), who it seems is destined to
change everything for the Crood family. Forced to flee their cave
home after it's destroyed, the Croods reluctantly follow Guy on a
perilous journey that leads them to discover a whole new world
full of breathtaking views, fascinating creatures, and
blood-stirring adventure. The animation is lush and gorgeous and
the abundance of physical and slapstick humor, especially from
Nicolas Cage as Grug and Cloris Leachman as Gran, keeps the plot
moving and viewers chuckling throughout the film. What the Crood
family's journey eventually reveals is twofold: that focusing on
living life and following the light is a viable alternative to
hiding in the darkness and that anyone can change. (Ages 8 and
older) --Tami Horiuchi
