Thunk,

make it stop.

Hit snooze!

Stop it, tummy.

Another glorious morning.

What’s that?

You wanna play?

Go get it, boy!

No, Sandy!

Mom!

Sandy’s fetching Douglas’s stick again.

Uh, what’s that?

Kill circle!

Safety off, babe.

Thanks.

Today is a good day to die!

Hey, everyone!

You’ll never guess what I fo.

Oops.

Sorry, honey.

We thought you were a predator

trying to kill us.

No, never apologize for an effective kill circle.

You have to come see this.

Follow me!

Come on.

This way.

Yes!

You’re gonna love it

What is that?

I’ve never seen anything like it.

What is it, Mom?

Make it leave.

There’s something about this.

I think it’s.

the end of the world.

Looks like I’ve seen it all.

Well, that’s it for me.

I’m glad it’s you, Chunky.

It’s not the end.

It’s just the beginning.

Welcome to our Tomorrow!

Look at all this food!

Guy, are you seeing this?

You’re the best dad ever!

Let’s eat!

One moment, Thunk.

Before we eat, I’d like to say a few words.

Let this flag mark the day

I discovered our home,

filled with flowers, and butterflies,

and a sweet, babbling brook.

Huh?

Here, right here, all your needs will be met.

I’m hungry!

In a minute!

Go now!

He’s not looking.

Just a minute.

Just a minute.

One minute.

No, no, no.

Wait, wait.

Just wait.

This is our home, a place we’ll always

be together forever and ever,

and you’re welcome!

I did this.

Problem solved.

Food!

Isn’t it strange how this food

grows in perfectly straight ro.

I don’t feel like eating anymore.

Mom, am I sick?

No, honey.

You’re full.

Full feels weird.

I can’t eat another bite.

Wait.

Yes, I can.

Banana?

I tasted one once, long, long ago.

It was summer.

The sun was warm on my shoulders.

Flowers were in high bloom.

I was just a cub.

Well, I ate that banana in one bite.

And ever since, a day hasn’t gone by

without me thinking about it.

What was it like, Father?

What was it like?

No words can describe it, Thunk.

No words are good enough.

We get it, Dad.

Just grab the banana!

Come here, sweet thing.

Do you guys hear that?

What is that?

What’s happening?

I can’t see.

It’s getting closer!

Kill circle?

Something got over the wall.

Don’t get too close.

Who knows what kind of weird

beyond-the-wall creatures they are.

Let’s just jab at them from afar.

Jab!

Jab, jab!

Wait a moment.

Look past the matted pelts

and gnashing teeth.

The eyes,

there’s a kind of humanity in them.

Ba-na-na.

It’s trying to communicate.

Hope, these are people!

Cave people.

I thought cave people died off years ago.

We happy meet you.

In hearts.

much joy.

Thanks.

Much joy to you too.

They speak beautifully.

Oh, forgive our condescension, friend.

I’m Phil.

And I am Hope.

And we are The Bettermans.

“Better man”?

Betterman.

Emphasis on the “better.

”

Well, we’re the Croods.

And this is.

Guy?

Good guess.

Mr. and Mrs. Betterman?

Guy!

What-What’s going on here?

Oh, Guy.

Guy.

Guy!

Hope, it’s Guy.

Guy, Guy, Guy.

What’s going on here?

I grew up with Hope and Phil.

They were my parents’ best friends until.

Oh, Guy.

We thought we lost your whole family.

That was the moment we realized,

in such a dangerous world,

there had to be a better way to live.

Is that your home?

That’s their home!

Whoa, mama!

Look, Dad!

Hey, Guy, race you to the top.

Oh, um, excuse me, little tiger girl?

Uh, we don’t climb this tree.

Huh?

There’s a “Betterman” way.

Unofficial motto.

Okay, everybody in?

Yeah, the, um, death cat will have to stay outside.

See ya, Chunky.

Sorry.

Animals track in too much.

um, dirt.

Going up.

What’s happening?

Welcome to the Betterman home!

It’s beautiful!

Kind of big, isn’t it?

What?

I can see the clouds!

But I’m inside.

What is this?

What is this?

Uh, we call that a window.

Window.

Okay.

Guy, Dawn will be so happy to see you.

Dawn?

Dawn?

Yeah, yeah.

We grew up together.

Oh, Dawn!

That’s just your reflection.

It’s called a mirror.

Oh, sorry.

Dawn!

Sorry.

Dawn!

Where is she?

I’m in the panic cubby!

Panic cubby!

Dawn, it wasn’t wild animals.

It’s safe to come out.

Mom, maybe we should drill some air holes in the door of the panic cubby?

No air holes.

Snakes could get in.

But you’ll never believe who we just found.

Guy?

Dawn?

Guy!

Is it really you?

It’s you!

You’re here!

You’re so old!

So are you!

That’s what I said!

Oh, together again.

These two were inseparable when they were young.

Inseparable.

Dawn’s a girl?

Hold on, stop.

You accessorize with a sloth?

I accessorize with a sloth!

This is Belt!

Mine’s Sash.

Ooh la la.

These are the Croods.

Hello.

Hey.

‘Sup?

And this.

Wait.

Nope, nope.

Yeah.

This is Eep.

You’re a girl?

Yeah.

A girl.

friend!

I’ve never had a girlfriend before!

Me either!

Me either!

Girlfriends!

Okay, careful!

Small bones.

Extra vertebrae!

This is amazing!

What do we do?

What do we say to each other?

What’s happening to our voices?

Why are our voices getting so high?

As our houseguests,

you’re welcome to anything you want.

I know what I want.

Uh, except for that.

But there’s so many of them.

Uh, sorry, Grug.

I’m afraid we have one house rule here.

We don’t eat the bananas.

But they’re right here.

Anything else, anything at all,

is yours to enjoy.

But we don’t eat the bananas.

Really?

Heh?

No bananas?

Heh?

But.

We won’t eat your bananas.

It’s getting late, so.

Well, we can just sleep-pile right here.

Got it.

Solid spot, Dad.

Look, Phil.

They sleep in a pile.

Ooh, fun!

Actually, everyone gets their own rooms.

We get separate rooms!

What’s a room?

What’s a separate?

We Bettermans believe

that privacy promotes individuality.

Unofficial motto.

Well, we Croods believe that

the pack sticks together no matter.

What?

Tell me about my room,

Mr. Better-dad.

Well, son, it’s right this way.

It all started with a tree and an idea.

What a day.

I never thought

I’d see the Bettermans again.

Hey, you!

Hey.

Sure beats the view

from any cave I know.

Yeah,

I can’t believe this place.

Oh, this bed is so comfortable.

Ah, nobody’s foot in my mouth.

So much better.

Yeah.

So, is this that privacy thing

you were telling me about?

Just feels kind of.

far.

you know?

Guy?

Guy?

Guy?

Time to watch some late-night window.

Check it out, Douglas.

This guy’s my favorite.

Okay, moommoth.

Whatcha gonna do now?

What an idiot!
