A television series, Dawn of the Croods, debuted on December 24, 2015 on Netflix. A sequel directed by Joel Crawford, titled The Crood: A New Age, was released on November 25, 2020. The series is set in a fictional prehistoric Pliocene era known as “The Croodaceous’s” when a prehistoric caveman’s position as a “Leader of the Hunt” is threatened by the arrival of a genius who comes up with revolutionary new inventions as they trek through a dangerous but exotic land in search of a new home. In the film, a cave family survives a natural disaster, due to the overprotective nature of their stubborn patriarch Grug.
The only one who questions the family’s sheltered life is his teenage daughter Eep, who frequently disobeys her father’s orders out of curiosity, which he finds dangerous. One night, while her family is asleep, Eep sneaks out when she discovers a torch of fire, and she encounters an inventive modern human boy named Guy and his pet sloth Belt. He warns her of an impending apocalypse and offers to take her with him, but she stays, getting a shell horn from him to blow in case she needs his help. After a massive earthquake then destroys their home, and to avoid carnivores and omnivores, they descend into a tropical forest that lay hidden behind their cave the whole time. The family flees him until he is scared off by swarms of piranhakeets that devour a ground whale. The other Croods worry about getting tired and bickering, but Grug doesn’t listen. When Grug finds a bird, he decides to hunt its egg for dinner. When Eep and Guy secretly make a trap in order to capture the bird, and succeed, proceeding to cook it. After dinner, Guy tells them a story about a tiger who flew into a place with more suns in the sky called “Tomorrow”, he describes as a heaven of safety where he is headed and in which curiosity is not deadly as Grug has claimed. Guy suggests the Crood family go to a mountain where there are caves because the CroOD family desires a cave.
