The Croods (also known as Crood Awakening) is a 2013 American animated adventure comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film was directed by Chris Sanders and Kirk DeMicco,[6] both of whom also wrote the screenplay and were credited with conceiving the story alongside John Cleese. The film stars the voices of Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener, Clark Duke, and Cloris Leachman. The film is set in a fictional prehistoric Pliocene era known as "The Croodaceous" (a prehistoric period which contains fictional creatures, most of which are hybrids of existing animals and some may be original.) when Grug, patriarch of the Croods, is threatened by the arrival of a genius named Guy, who comes up with revolutionary new inventions as they trek through a dangerous but exotic land in search of a new home.

The film premiered at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival on February 15, 2013,[7] and was released in the United States on March 22, 2013.[8] As part of the distribution deal, this was the first DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by 20th Century Fox, since the end of their distribution deal with Paramount Pictures in 2012.[9] The Croods proved to be a box office success, earning $587.3 million on a budget of $135–175 million. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and a Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

The film launched a new franchise,[10] with a television series, Dawn of the Croods which debuted on December 24, 2015, on Netflix.[11] A sequel directed by Joel Crawford, titled The Croods: A New Age, was released on November 25, 2020.
