## The Croods – Summary **The Croods** (2013) is an animated adventure-comedy about a prehistoric family struggling to survive in a dangerous world. The story follows **Grug Crood**, an overprotective caveman who believes the only way to stay alive is to follow strict rules and never try anything new. He keeps his family — including his curious teenage daughter, **Eep** — locked inside their cave most of the time. Everything changes when Eep secretly meets a clever and inventive boy named **Guy**, who introduces new ideas like fire and shoes. Soon after, an earthquake destroys the Croods’ cave, forcing the family to leave their home and journey across a strange, colorful, and rapidly changing landscape. During their adventure, Grug clashes with Guy’s modern thinking, while Eep is fascinated by the possibilities of a new future. Along the way, the family faces wild creatures, natural disasters, and their own fears. In the end, Grug learns that change isn’t something to fear — it can lead to growth and survival. The film’s main message is about embracing change, trusting family, and stepping outside your comfort zone.
