Overview

Searching for a safer habitat, the prehistoric Crood family discovers an idyllic, walled-in paradise that meets all of its needs. Unfortunately, they must also learn to live with the Bettermans -- a family that's a couple of steps above the Croods on the evolutionary ladder. As tensions between the new neighbors start to rise, a new threat soon propels both clans on an epic adventure that forces them to embrace their differences, draw strength from one another, and survive together.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film's central conflict between primal and advanced families is resolved through a synthesis of their respective strengths, promoting mutual adaptation and respect rather than the triumph of one ideology, leading to a neutral rating.

The movie features a diverse voice cast, but the prehistoric characters are not tied to specific modern ethnicities, thus avoiding explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditionally white roles. The narrative focuses on family dynamics and the clash of different lifestyles, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.

Secondary

The film features several female characters, including Eep, Ugga, and Gran, who collectively form the 'Thunder Sisters.' They engage in and win multiple close-quarters physical fights against numerous male Punch-Monkeys, using their strength, agility, and improvised combat skills to rescue the male characters.

The Croods: A New Age does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story centers on traditional family units and their interactions, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.

The animated film "The Croods: A New Age" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on prehistoric family dynamics and adventure, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.

The Croods: A New Age is a sequel featuring the original Crood family, all of whom maintain their established genders from the previous film. New characters introduced in this installment do not have prior canonical genders to swap from.

The Croods characters were originally depicted as a generic prehistoric human group in the first film. The sequel maintains these depictions, and no character's race was changed from a previously established canonical or widely recognized portrayal.
