[grunts in effort]
-[roars] -[grunts]
[Phil snoring]
[snorts, groans]

[groans]
[snores, groans]
[sighing]
[gentle snoring]
[gasps]
-Phil, does it feel like it's been night
for a really long time?
It feels like daytime, but it's dark!
I think something's wrong!
-No need to panic, dear. I'm sure everything is...
Ah! Doomed! The window is blocked by rocks.
-[gasps] So is the door!
[screaming]
-This is the end!
And if Phil Betterman dies,
so too will the world!
-Get a grip, Phil! -[Phil blubbering]
-You're right. Our hut was likely buried by an avalanche.
We must wriggle our way to freedom!
[grunting]
-Seriously? -Wriggle! [grunting]
-[rocks clattering] -[sighs, grunts]
-[rocks falling] -[yelping]
[groans] -[panting] You see? It worked.
-[both scream] -The harsh light of day!
It's blinding!
-Phil? Where are you? I can't see anything!
-Not even your teeth! -Just follow my voice,
and--Wah!
-[crash] -[groans]
-Just follow your voice and wah?
What does that mean--Wah!
-* Let's live wild, the world's our own *
* We built this wheel now it's gunna roll *
* You know a spark becomes a fire wherever we go *
* Whoa-ho-ho *
* Stuck together, stuck, stuck together *
* It's an evolution for worse or for better *
* To find some unity *
* For all humanity *
* Because we're stuck together *
* In one big family tree *
-[birds chirping] -[ravenous eating]
-Uggs. Grugs.
Do you know anything about the rocks covering our hut?
-You're welcome!
-So it wasyou!
-Of course! Rocks don't just
bury stuff on their own.
Well, unless there's an avalanche.
-Why? Why?Just... I mean, why?
-Today is the anniversary of the day
you invited us to move in here with you,
so we wanted to do something nice to show our appreciation.
-By burying us alive?
-We thought you'd like to sleep in,
so we turned your hut into a cave!
-And we had the elevator loaded up with boulders
in case you want more cave!
-You're welcome. -[goat-like scream]
-Well, of course, we appreciate being appreciated,
especially Phil, but we like getting up early
because we're morning people.
-And you're cave people.
-What does thatmean?
-It means you like caves, and we don't.
-Which is understandable because caves don't suit us.
-But they suit youbecause you and Grug are simple,
like a cave.
-What does thatmean?
-Which part?
-All of it. I wasn't listening.
-Well, I was! And what I heard is
you think you're better than us.
-Oh, I wouldn't say that...
-In those words.To you.
-Why not? It's how you feel, and it's how you've treated us
ever since we moved on to the farm.
-And that's bad because...
[crashing, smashing]
PHIL: [screaming] My elevator!
Maybe we arebetter than you.
Because you ruin everything,
including my elevator!
-Oh, so now, you're gonna blame us
'cause your dumb elevator broke?
-Yes! Because you broke it!
By filling it with boulders!
-Did we, Phil? -Yes!
-You know, you're right. We are cave people.
Which is why we're leaving the farm
and moving back into a cave!
-Yes! [laughing]
[Ugga grunts]
-Great! And take your rocks with you!
-But not in my elevator!
-[angry grumbling] -THUNK: Solid scuffle.
-With just the right amount of heat.
-Top 10 for sure.
-I've seen this fight
more times than I can count,
and I never get tired of it.
EEP: [grunts] The good thing about our parents fighting...
[grunts] is they're too busy to stop us...
[grunts] from roller-logging in the Hwam crater!
-Yeah! I just wish the fights
didn't always end with your parents threatening to move!
-[grunts] Yeah, but how many times
have you heard them say that?
-Mm, a lot.
-And how many times has it happened?
[grunting]
-None. -Exactly.
-[Thunk humming] -Guy's right. [grunts]
They just need some time to cool off,
and they'll be all smiles.
-Hello, children.
[dramatic sting]
-[yelping] -Oh!
Hey, Mom and Dad, and other Mom and Dad.
We were just, um, not roller-logging in the crater.
So, you guys look happy. Did you make up?
-Nope!
-Okay, then why are you all smiling?
-Because we finally all agreed on something!
-That bug nugget s are the perfect food?
Welcome to the BNAPFC,
the Bug Nuggets Are Perfect Food Club! [chewing]
-No. The Croods will be moving off the farm
to live in a cave first thing tomorrow.
-[gasping] -[bowl clattering]
-Not for real, though, right?
-Yes, for real.
-It's the first time we've all agreed
on anything because we all win!
-Especially us! Because we're gonna live in a cave,
and never see Phil and Hope again!
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
-The woo is mutual. Woo!
-[laughter] -This really is for the best.
GUY: Uh...
-Looks like we're finally
gettin' outta this dump!
[questioning growling]
-Of course, we're taking the teeth. -[excited growl]
Just need to remember where we hid 'em all.
-I can't believe it.
-I know. You guys are actually leaving.
-Oh, not that. How could Phil say
bug nuggets aren'tthe perfect food?
The BNAPFC is in an uproar!
-Thunk! Now's not the time to think about bug nuggets!
-Oh, you say that like I have a choice!
Get out of my head, bug nuggets!
-[pop] -[gasps]
Bartholomew! I thought I ate you.
-[chewing] -Okay...
I don't know what I'm gonna do without you.
You have no idea what this place was like before you got here.
Mom, do you wanna--
-Shh! -[grunts, yelps]
-Dad, do you feel like-- -Shh!
[Phil screams]
Guess it's just you and me, tree.
[wind blows, tree shushing]
Oh, come on!
-Well, life outside the farm wasn't much better.
-[screaming] -[roaring]
[screaming]
Yep. Good times.
Anyway, the adults can't handle this situation.
They're too immature. So we have to fix it.
-With glue? -No!
Unless we needglue.
-HOPE: Uh... -Tell me why we're doing this again.
[dramatic sting]
-Because it's fun!
[screaming]
[laughing and screaming]
-[laughing] -[screaming]
-[grunts] Phil! Get off! I can't see to steer!
-Neither can I!
HOPE: [screams] I don't wanna die!
-Neither do I!
[all screaming]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[yelling, arguing]
-Well, that was a disaster. We need a plan B.
-B for bug nuggets? I'm in.
-T-bone! Forget about the bug nuggets!
-I can't! They won't let me!
[groans]
-Our parents are never gonna make up!
They have nothing nice to say to each other!
-Ooh! Maybe they just need-- -Frosting?
-What? No! They need help!
-Phew! [laughs] That was a close one, Jebedi.
Now, I've got you all to myself.
-It's perfect! We'll have to fumigate for the Grug smell,
but other than that, it's the perfect space
for my new yoga studio.
-Or, much stronger idea,
the Museum of Natural Philstory!
An informative interactive celebration of Phil Betterman.
-The Museum of Natural Philstory?
Who is that even for?
-For all humankind.
Eventually. For now, you and Dawn.
GUY: That's a shame.
A shame that Grug won't be here to see it.
-He would lovea Phil museum. -Grug?
Ha. Ha ha ha. Ha!
[clears throat] Pardon my ha's,
but Grug isn't exactly the museum type.
And, impossibly, he's no Phil fan.
-I can see why you'd think that
because of all the outward
expressions of hostility,
but that's just a mask.
Behind that mask, Grug thinks you're a genius.
He says you're not just leading us into tomorrow.
You're building our future.
-[gasps] Hammerhead horseradish!
Grug lives in the past.
He doesn't even understand the concept of future.
-Maybe... he learned it from you.
* *
-Hm. Well,
I am an irresistible influence and a gifted teacher.
It would almost be impossible for him to elude
-the glow of my brilliance. -Did Grug say anything about me?
-Uh... -No, but Ugga did. She said, uh,
she said you were tall and--Oh!
She admires you because you never stop
trying to make perfect happen.
That's why you're her role model.
-[gasps] Really? Ugga said I was her role model?
-Yep. That's what she said.
-With her mouth.
-I never knew the Croods felt that way about us.
-Hm... Perhaps the Croods aren't so bad.
-Yeah, we should talk to them.
That's what role models do.
-[both laugh] -DAWN: Yeah!
-Another fang fail!
-[confused grunting] -But not a total loss
'cause I poured slip melon juice on the floor.
When they come back, bam! Flat on their backs!
[both giggling]
And the tooth hunt continues.
[menacing laughter]
-She said I'm her hero? Hah!
-Yep. - Hopesaid that?
-She sure did.
-Hope. Our Hope. [grunts]
The Hope who always looks like she just tasted something sour.
-That's the Hope. -Really? [scoffs]
Because I always had the feeling she was looking down on me.
-That's just 'cause she's taller than you. -Ah, ah, ah! That's a rumor!
-Anyway, Hope told me you were her hero
because you never back down.
No matter how great the challenge
or how hopeless the situation seems.
-Wow! That's so... nice.
-You know what else is nice?
Tomorrow, we'll be on our way to a bright new life
in a dark, rocky hole!
And the best part is
the Bettermans and Guy won't be there!
-Dad, Guy is coming with us. -Hm?
[dramatic sting]
No!
[indistinct muttering]
-What!? Oh, right.
Phil says you're a legend.
-Oh, yeah? Well, he's gonna eat those words!
-No, Dad! Legend is a good thing! It's a compliment.
Compliments are also good, Dad.
-I knew that. Because I'm a legend.
-Yeah, that's what Phil said
because you're the man Phil wishes he was,
but knows he can never be.
-Phil said that? About me.
-As far as you know.
-Were we wrong about the Bettermans?
Should we give them another chance?
-Sure! 'Cause that's what legends like me do.
We give compliments, even to Phil.
[screams]
* *
-Oh, good. We found you.
-Well, technically, we found you...
[yelps] But that's of no consequence
because Hope and I wanted to speak to you.
We regret this morning's disharmony.
-We feel the same way, but thank you for saying that.
-Of course! As your role model,
I think it's important to set a good example.
-My role model?
-Yes. And I'm so flattered!
-And I'm a genius. Isn't that right, Grug?
-I wouldn't say that. -But you did.
-I say a lot of things, Phil, but I'd remember that one
because, like yousaid,
I'ma legend.
-I neversaid that!
In fact, you're the biggest buffoon I've ever met!
-Wait, so you didn't say I was your role model?
-Why would I look up to you?
-Well, I amtaller than you. -Never proven!
[yelling, arguing]
-Time for plan C. -Nope.
It's time for plan G 'cause Guy.
-But really plan C 'cause alphabet.
-[arguing continues] -THUNK: And then plan J! 'Cause quicksand!
* *
-[grunts] -No teeth in the couch shallows,
so we'll try the couch deeps.
We're gonna need torches and explosives.
[excited giggling]
But not too close together.
[grunts, giggles]
[blows, grunts]
* *
-I know this will work
because, once, I got trapped
with a tigerangutan in a cave. Whew!
It was awkward. But we knew we had to cooperate
if we wanted to survive.
He used me as a battering ram
to bust us out, and we parted ways as friends.
-We still keep in touch. -EEP: Okay.
Uh, what does that have to do with our parents fighting?
-Everything!
Because once we trap
the parents in that cave,
they'll have no choice
but to settle their differences.
-Or destroy each other.
-That probably won't happen.
-Probably?
-Okay, but how are we going to get
our parents inthe cave?
[clears throat]
-[echoes] Goo goo ga ga.
[baby giggling]
Phil made this beacon shell. I made it better.
-Great! And how is this gonna lure our parents into--
-UGGA: Baby? Baby? -[Dawn gasps]
Baby!
-Where's the baby!? -[Grug screaming]
-What about my parents?
-All in due chime.
[echoes] Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.
[wind chimes tinkling]
HOPE: Chimes? Chimes!
-[Phil screaming] -Get ready to relax me!
[grunts]
-PHIL [muffled]: No! Not again! -UGGA [muffled]: Phil?
-HOPE [muffled]: Ugga? -GRUG [muffled]: Grug?
Wait, that's me. Hope?
-[grunts] -Phil?
Did you and Hope trap us in this cave?
-Us? You're the ones who bury people alive!
-[muffled arguing] -We made the stew. Now we let it simmer.
-Wait, there's stew in there? I love stew!
-No! Thunk! There's no stew! [yelling]
-[panting] I'm coming for you, stew!
[bell tolls]
EEP: Well, I don't hear them fighting anymore.
I don't hear anything.
-Oh no. That's even worse than fighting!
-They're probably just exhausted from working things out.
Making peace is no picnic.
But, as is true of stew, it's worth the time and effort.
-[gasps] So there isstew in there!
Outta my way!
[laughs, grunts]
-Trust me. After this, your parents will be best friends...
-Uh...
[muffled yelling]
Okay. What's going on here?
-[muffled yelling] -Uh... I'm not here!
-Yeah. We just decided we'd had enough.
-Enough of what? Stew?
[muffled yelling, gasps]
-This is an outrage!
-[grunts] Enough of that!
-Sorry, Guy-boy, but I don't think
your stew came together.
-Oh! So this was all just a wild stew chase?
-[struggling] -[vines snap]
[gasps]
-If you're gonna hold someone captive,
maybe learn how to tie a knot!
Come on, Phil. We're leaving.
[muffled grumbling]
-[struggling] Ah!
Forgot that was still in there.
Your departure can't come soon enough.
-Same for yours!
-Departure means leaving!
And we're not leaving. You are!
-You got that right! Come on, Grug!
-Let's finish packing! -Packing?
For what?
-[Gran yells] -[all yelp]
-We're taking all the teeth in this cave,
including yours, if you don't beat it.
[yelling, panting]
EEP: Well, that's that. Today is our last day on the farm.
-I wish we could stay.
Constantly being hungry,
dirty, and scared is overrated.
-Yeah. I'm gonna miss this place. -[splash]
-Dawn, you're staying here.
-Oh. In that case,
I'm gonna miss you guys.
-No. You're not gonna miss anybody.
We're not quitters. We're fighters.
Well, you guys are fighters.
I'm more of a watcher and a napper,
but there's too much to lose!
Like couch. And window!
And sitting on the couch while watching window.
Are you ready to give all that up?
Because I'm not.
This farm, this family.
It's all we've got.
So let's stand together and fight for what we love!
Now, who's with me?
EEP, GUY, DAWN: We are!
-Great! So what should we do?
-Wait, Thunk, you don't have a plan?
-No. Was I supposed to?
-Would've been nice.
-Well, I don't...
-Ooh! -[stomach growls]
But Carlos does.
-What about a dinner? -Dinner?
-Yeah. You know, it's the thing where we eat at night...
-I know, but how is dinner gonna change our parents' minds?
-[stomach growls] -[sighs]
-Because eating puts everyone in a good mood.
-Yes! But we're gonna need more than
burnips and bug nuggets to fix this.
-[laughs] How about ribs?
-Sure, ribs. But also something to remind the adults
that they're better together than apart.
Come on, fellow kids! We got work to do.
THUNK: Uh, so that was a yes on ribs?
-[Sandy chittering] -[Gran grumbling]
-Gah! Tooth treachery!
We've checked every hiding spot on the farm,
and there's not a single fang to be found!
We're all gums!
[chittering]
You're right, Sandy.
We don't need those oldteeth.
A new beginning means new teeth!
-[excited grunting] -You're laying down some tooth truth!
-[Gran panting] -[Sandy growling]
[snarling]
[straining]
[grunting]
-[bubbling] -[groaning]
[panting, muttering]
[relieved sighs]
[birds chirping]
HOPE: So, why are we here?
-Yeah. The table. Tell us the story.
-We just thought, since the Croods
and Guy are leaving tomorrow,
it would be nice for us to have one last meal together.
-A final family feast to share morsels and memories.
-Without fighting?
[parents grumble]
-Of course. The Bettermans are, if anything, civil.
-The Croods are sizzle, too. Especially with meat.
-Oh. -Whoa.
-Hm... -Hm.
-[laughs] I hope I'm a good cook.
-Let's eat! -[excited murmurs]
[contented eating]
* *
[Phil laughing]
-Oh, that was delicious.
My compliments to the che... [belches] ...f.
-Grug! -Belching aside, I agree.
I give that meal five yums.
-[laughs] -Yes!
-Well, that was fun. See you never, Croods.
-Not if we see you never first!
-Wait! This is our last night living together ever!
Don't you have anything you wanna say to each other?
[insects chirping]
PARENTS: No.
-Fine! But before you go,
wehave something we wanna say to you!
-Don't you mean...
sing to you?
-When did we put a stage there?
-Hit it! -[chittering]
[dramatic music]
[Chunky growls]
[music builds]
-* I punch first, and I don't like to think *
-* My mind is sublime, and I invented the sink *
-* I demand perfection, and I'm one with my chimes *
-* I'm a big fan of babies! But I can't stand rhymes *
-* Dirt is my jam and rocks are my air *
-* Science is my muse and I invented the chair *
-* I like my burnips red-hot and my springs lukewarm *
-* I'm the mom who's calm and the eye of the storm *
-Ugga, that's me! -It's all of us, Grug.
-Right, but that's me. Me!
-* We're two worlds collided, a troubled tree house divided *
-* But we share the blame and shame*
* 'cause every battle's two-sided *
-* Eye to eye, we don't see*
* a thousand moons from harmony *
-* But it's too late to separate*
* 'cause we've tried repeatedly *
-* We didn't choose to be*
* an accidental family *
-* But our opposites just fit*
* 'cause we're complementary *
* Do we wanna part ways for the rest of our days? *
-* Hard no on the go, the best play is to stay! *
-* We're better as a "we" * -* Only fools could disagree *
-* Better as a "we " * -* And lightning sets us free *
-* Better as a "we" * -* The best "we" in history *
-* Stuck together certainly, we're better*
* As a... *
* "We!" *
* Yeah!*
[lights snap]
[cheering]
-It's so good!
-[laughs] Wow!
EEP: So? What'd you think?
-It... was...
amazing!
-Really? -HOPE: Yes!
I mean, the singing, the dancing, the emotion?
-Your father was weeping. -[sniffles] No, I wasn't!
Okay, I was.
-Oh, that was the most beautiful song
these ear holes have ever heared!
-You know, the kids are right.
We didn'tchoose to be an accidental family.
-But our opposites just fit
because we're com-plement-ary.
-Stuck together? Cer-tain-ly.
-[insects chirping] -[duck squawking]
-Hm? Hm? What? Oh, right!
We're better... as... a...
-we! -[parents hum]
-So, does this mean everyone is staying together on the farm?
-It sure does.
[cheering]
-Woo! What are we cheering about?
ALL: Hwam!
-Who's that guy?
GRAN: [grunts] Hwam!
Why! Did! You! Ditch! Me!
-Gran, stop! We've already been through this, remember?
-We have?
-Yeah! I was on my way to meet you,
but I got buried in an avalanche, and--
-And then, I thawed Hwam back to life!
UGGA: And then you and Hwam were gonna run off together,
but you realized you didn't wanna leave us,
and Hwam realized he needed to see the world.
-Oh yeah... -[laughs]
-Hwam! -[Hwam sighs]
-[sobs] Hwam! -Aw. [laughs]
-What are you doing here?
-He came back for me, obviously!
Isn't that right, Hwam?
-Sure! I mean, I-I came back.
-to see everyone. -[all sigh]
Especially you.
ALL: Aw...
-Say "aw" again,
and I'll turn all of you into skin rugs!
It's good to have you back.
-It's good to be back.
But, unfortunately, I can't stay for long.
-What? Where are you going?
-Caveana.
[all gasp]
-What's Caveana?
-According to legend, it's a paradise on Earth.
In a cave!
A place where like-minded
cave dwellers can live in peace,
-safe from the elements and predators. -[amazed gasps]
And everyone gets their own cave!
-You get a cave,
-and you get a cave... -[gasping]
...and you get a cave, and--
-Got it. Everyone gets a cave.
-But the real reason I'm going is because...
I think my family might be there.
-Really? Why?
-Because of this!
* *
-Your family's in there?
-[laughs] No, Thunk!
My family used to draw this on everything,
so we could always find each other.
See? That means someone in my family drew this map.
And now, I'm going to find them.
-Wow. Caveana sounds like the greatest place ever!
[scoffs]
-"Greatest place ever"
is a bit of a stretch for a bunch of caves.
-Wow, Phil.
You still think you're too good for caves.
-Of course, I do. Because I am.
-I think what Phil is tryingto say
is that while caves are... fine,
the tree house is obviously superior.
-Yes. And caves are beneath us.
-[growls] How about I put you beneath a pile of dirt?
[screams]
-[Grug growling] -I knew this wasn't gonna work!
You are who you are, and we are who we are.
Which is why we're going to Caveana.
PARENTS: Yes!
KIDS: No!
-Huh?
