The Croods: A New Age

The Croods embark on a perilous journey to find a new home, leaving their familiar surroundings behind. Alongside them on their adventure are their loyal friends, Chunky and Douglas, who help navigate the various hazards they encounter.

Grug, the family's patriarch, expresses his growing unease about the developing romance between his son Guy and daughter Eep. He fears that their budding love could threaten the unity of the family as they navigate the dangers of their quest.

During their journey, Grug stumbles upon a massive wall that leads his family into a lush paradise. This new environment is a stark contrast to their previous experiences, filled with both wonder and unfamiliar challenges.

In this paradise, the Croods meet Phil and Hope Betterman, modern humans with whom Guy had a connection. The Bettermans showcase their advanced lifestyle and subtle disdain toward the Croods, creating an awkward dynamic.

Phil Betterman devises a plan aimed at persuading Guy to abandon the Croods. He believes that staying with the Bettermans would be in Guy's best interest, despite the impending conflict it causes within the family.

Feeling constrained by her new environment, Eep forms a bond with Dawn, Phil and Hope's daughter. Together, they persuade Chunky to take them on a joyride, which ultimately ends in chaos, creating tension with Guy.

During a family dinner, Grug inadvertently reveals Phil's manipulative intentions towards Guy. This confrontation prompts the Croods to decide that they can no longer tolerate the condescending attitude of the Bettermans.

After resolving that they need space, the Croods prepare to leave the Bettermans. However, their plans are disrupted when the vengeful Punch Monkeys capture Grug, Guy, and Phil, leading to a frantic rescue operation.

At the Punch Monkeys' lair, the group learns that the monkeys' aggression stemmed from an existential crisis triggered by Phil's agricultural practices. The Croods and Bettermans realize the urgency of restoring balance to the environment.

As the journey continues, both families find themselves trapped in an icy wasteland filled with dangerous wolf spiders. This shared struggle allows them to understand one another better and fosters a newfound respect among the families.

In a moment of solidarity, the two families adopt the name 'The Thunder Sisters.' Their cooperative spirit strengthens their bond and helps facilitate their reunion with Grug, Phil, and Guy to confront the Punch Monkeys.

In a climactic encounter, Guy and Eep reconcile their differences and use a massive skull chandelier to defeat the Spiny Mandrilla. This victory not only saves their families but also reinforces their unity.

With the immediate danger passed, the Croods and Bettermans recognize their similarities and decide to forge a collaboration. The Bettermans invite the Croods to settle on their land, paving the way for a future filled with hope.

Having accepted their new life, Guy and Eep begin to adapt to their future home with the Bettermans. The Punch Monkeys' arrival as new neighbors sets the stage for ongoing adventures and relationships.
