The Croods: A New Age (also known as The Croods 2) is a 2020 American animated adventure comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. The sequel to The Croods (2013) as well as the second installment of The Croods franchise, it was directed by Joel Crawford (in his feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by Paul Fisher, Bob Logan, and the writing team of Dan and Kevin Hageman, based on a story by Kirk DeMicco and Chris Sanders (who directed the previous film).[5] The film features the returning voices of Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener, Clark Duke, and Cloris Leachman. The film also makes new additions to the cast, including Peter Dinklage, Leslie Mann, and Kelly Marie Tran. The film follows the Croods, Guy, and their pets Belt, Chunky, and Douglas as they discover an idyllic, walled-in paradise that meets all of their needs. Unfortunately, they must also learn to live with the Bettermans, a family a couple of steps above the Croods on the evolutionary ladder.
A sequel to The Croods was first announced in April 2013, with directors Sanders and DeMicco returning to helm the film. Its development continued through 2014 and 2015 until its cancellation in November 2016 due to doubts in response to Universal's acquisition of DreamWorks. However, the project was revived in September 2017, with Crawford replacing Sanders and DeMicco as directors in the following month. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, most of the final results from the animating process were done from the crew's homes.
The Croods: A New Age was theatrically released in the United States on November 25, 2020. It grossed $216 million worldwide against its $65 million budget and received mostly positive reviews, with critics calling it "a decent-enough follow-up" and praising the cast and animation. The film was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film.[6]
Plot
[edit]The Croods, including Guy and their pets, Chunky and Douglas, are still on a quest to find a suitable place to settle while battling dangerous creatures. Grug, the family patriarch, is increasingly concerned about the budding romance between Guy and his daughter, Eep, fearing they might leave the rest of the family behind.
Their journey takes an unexpected turn when Grug discovers a massive wall and leads the family to a paradise-like land on the other side. However, they are soon captured by the land's owners, Phil and Hope Betterman, modern humans who were friends with Guy's late parents and are now technologically advanced, well-mannered, and somewhat condescending toward the Croods. Phil and Hope hope to persuade Guy to stay with them, believing he would be better off, and devise a plan to get him to leave the Croods.
Grug's time with the Betterman family becomes uncomfortable as he is manipulated by Phil, who believes that Guy should stay with them in exchange for Eep staying with her family. Hope also tries to manipulate Ugga, Grug's wife, but fails, leading to Grug and Ugga's decision to leave. Eep discovers that Phil and Hope's daughter, Dawn, has never left the inside of the wall. Feeling isolated, Eep persuades Dawn to escape with her for a joyride using Chunky, but their adventure goes awry. Upon their return, Guy scolds Eep for her recklessness, leading to a falling out between them. During dinner, tensions escalate, and Grug accidentally reveals the plan hatched with Phil. Fed up with the Bettermans' condescension and their differences, the Croods decide to leave, while Guy opts to stay behind. However, their departure is soon disrupted by Punch Monkeys, who are angry for not having the bananas that Phil had been providing as a daily offering. The Punch Monkeys capture Grug, Phil, and Guy, and the remaining Croods and Bettermans follow their scent.
The Punch Monkeys take Grug, Guy, and Phil to their home and discover the reason behind the monkeys' aggression: Phil's irrigation project deprived them of their water supply, and they need the bananas as an offering to the Spiny Mandrilla (a portmanteau of "spiny anteater," "mandrill," and "gorilla"), a gigantic primate-like monster, to maintain peace. Meanwhile, the remaining Croods and Bettermans lose the boys' scent and find themselves marooned in a frozen wasteland, where they encounter wolf spiders. During their time together, Hope finally comes to terms with her prejudice against the Croods and accepts them as equals. They decide to name themselves "The Thunder Sisters." They eventually locate Grug, Phil, and Guy just as the Punch Monkeys prepare to sacrifice them to the Spiny Mandrilla. Guy and Eep reconcile and use a giant skull chandelier to defeat the Spiny Mandrilla by plummeting it to its death, and the two families manage to escape the danger.
With their differences resolved, the Bettermans invited the Croods to live as neighbors on their land. Guy and Eep choose to share one of the Bettermans' bedrooms, and the Punch Monkeys become their next-door neighbors.

Production
[edit]Development
[edit]In April 2013, DreamWorks announced a sequel to the film The Croods, with Chris Sanders and Kirk DeMicco set to return as directors and writers.[7] According to DeMicco, the sequel would focus on Ugga and motherhood, making it "the first chapter of society," expanding on the first film, which he said is about "the last chapter of the caveman."[8]
On June 12, 2014, it was announced that the sequel would be released on November 3, 2017.[9] On August 21, 2014, the film was pushed back to December 22, 2017.[10] On August 9, 2016, nearing Comcast's impending acquisition of DreamWorks Animation, 20th Century Fox removed the film from the release schedule. The film would instead be released by Universal Pictures sometime in 2018.[11] On August 23, 2016, it was reported that Kevin and Dan Hageman had been hired to rewrite the script.[12]
On November 11, 2016, DreamWorks announced that production for the sequel was cancelled.[13] According to reports, there had been doubts about proceeding with the project before Universal's acquisition of DreamWorks, and DreamWorks decided to cancel the film.[13] However, in September 2017, DreamWorks and Universal revealed that the film was back in production, with a release date scheduled for September 18, 2020. It was also revealed that both DeMicco and Sanders would not be returning.[14] In October 2017, it was reported that Joel Crawford would replace them as directors and Mark Swift would replace both the first film's producers, Jane Hartwell and Kristine Belson, as the producers of the film.[15] Production of the film was shifted to work remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]
Casting
[edit]In September 2013, it was confirmed that Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, and Ryan Reynolds would reprise their roles in the sequel as Grug, Eep, and Guy from the first film.[17] On May 21, 2015, Leslie Mann and Kat Dennings joined the voice cast. Mann would lend her voice to an upscale mother of a rival family named Hope Betterman, while Dennings was set to voice her daughter, Dawn. It was also reported that Catherine Keener and Clark Duke were reprising their roles as Ugga and Thunk.[18] In September 2017, it was confirmed that the original actors would reprise their roles.[19][20] In October 2018, Peter Dinklage was cast in the film to voice the character Phil Betterman.[21] In October 2019, DreamWorks revealed that Kelly Marie Tran had replaced Dennings as Dawn.[22]
Animation and design
[edit]While the first film had some rough details similar to How to Train Your Dragon, the designs of the second film were more simplified and rendered by Moonray. 2D animation for the Travel Logs and the Cave Diary was provided by Bird Karma director William Salazar rather than animation from James Baxter on the first film.
Music
[edit]In September 2020, it was announced that Mark Mothersbaugh had replaced the first film's composer, Alan Silvestri, as composer for this film.[23] On November 12, 2020, a single called "Feel the Thunder," performed by HAIM was released.[24]

Reception
[edit]Box office and VOD
[edit]The Croods: A New Age has grossed $58.6 million in the United States and Canada and $157.4 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $216 million.[3][4] It became the first animated film released during the COVID-19 pandemic and the first family film since Sonic the Hedgehog to break the $200 million mark.
In the United States, the film made $1.85 million from 2,211 theaters on its first day, $2.7 million on its second (a 47% increase, as opposed to the normal 40% drop seen on Thanksgiving Day), and $4 million on its third. It went on to debut at $9.7 million in its opening weekend (a five-day total of $14.3 million), the biggest opening weekend since Tenet over two months prior.[28] The film remained in theaters the following two weekends, grossing $4.4 million and $3 million, respectively.[31][32] It was dethroned by Monster Hunter in its fourth weekend.[33] That same weekend, the film was the most-rented on FandangoNow, Apple TV, and Google Play.[34] In its fifth weekend, the film grossed $1.7 million over the Christmas frame.[35] It also remained number one on all digital rental platforms. IndieWire estimated the film had made about $20 million from PVOD sales up to that point (of which Universal would keep 80%).[36] The film continued to hold steady on subsequent weekends and regained the top box office spot in its 12th week of release with $2.7 million.[37][38]
The film earned $3 million on its opening day in China, which is the third biggest for a Hollywood film in 2020, behind Tenet and Mulan.[39] It went on to earn $19.2 million in China and a total of $21.6 million internationally.[40] By its third weekend of release, the film had crossed $46 million (RMB 300 million) in China, becoming the second-biggest Hollywood title of the year in the country behind Tenet ($66.6 million).[32] It made $3.2 million in its fourth weekend of international play, pushing its running total above $57 million. [41]
Critical response
[edit]Critics noted The Croods: A New Age as "a decent-enough follow-up" and commended the cast.[42] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 77% of 158 critics' reviews of the film are positive, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The website's critic consensus reads: "Another agreeable outing for the titular prehistoric clan, The Croods: A New Age may be the missing link for parents between more elevated family-friendly fare."[43] According to Metacritic, which calculated a weighted average score of 56 out of 100 based on 30 critics, the film received "mixed or average reviews."[44] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale (the same score as the first film), and PostTrak reported 83% of those gave the film a positive score, with 59% saying they would definitely recommend it.[28]
Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times gave a mixed-to-positive review, writing, "No one would call it a huge leap on the evolutionary ladder, but the animated sequel The Croods: A New Age is slightly funnier than its serviceable 2013 predecessor."[45] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post rated the film 2/4 stars, describing it as a "larky, slightly lunatic film."[46] Lindsey Bahr at Associated Press rated the film 2.5/4, stating, "it might not be as novel as the first, but it's essentially harmless, if a little chaotic, fun for kids and doesn't need to be anything more than that."[1] Kate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film a "C+" and said, "It's a little silly, very colorful, and entertaining enough to deliver some good-hearted ideas that aren't beholden to any period in time. Worth nearly a decade of push-pull to get here? Probably not, but on its own merits it's a charming throwback."[47] Cath Clarke of The Guardian rated the film 3/5 stars, writing, "A-list voice actors leaven this hectic children’s movie with gags for grownups."[48] Alonso Duralde of TheWrap gave the film a positive review and wrote, "You may never have thought you needed or even wanted a sequel to The Croods, but you may find it a pleasant surprise in a year where most of the surprises have been anything but."[49]
At least one critic compared it to other animated films of 2020, such as Soul.
