These days, the first Star Wars movie ever released (A New Hope) is the fourth movie in the Skywalker Saga, while the fourth movie to hit cinemas (The Phantom Menace) comes first in chronological order. Then the Prequel Trilogy made things more complicated, when it went back in time to tell the story of Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader.

The film is directed by Joel Crawford, who has worked on multiple DreamWorks Animation films, including Trolls and the Kung Fu Panda franchise, and is produced by Mark Swift (Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted).C-3PO and R2-D2 appear in 10 of the 11 live-action Star Wars movies. They’re joined by new stars Peter Dinklage (HBO’s Game of Thrones) as Phil Betterman, Leslie Mann (Blockers) as Hope Betterman, and Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars: Episode VIII-The Last Jedi) as their daughter, Dawn. The Croods: A New Age features the voice talent of returning stars Nicolas Cage as Grug Crood, Catherine Keener as Ugga Crood, Emma Stone as their daughter, Eep Ryan Reynolds as Eep’s boyfriend, Guy Clark Duke (Hot Tub Time Machine) as Thunk and Cloris Leachman as Gran.

Just when all seems lost, a new threat will propel both families on an epic adventure outside the safety of the wall, one that will force them to embrace their differences, draw strength from each other and forge a future together. When they take the Croods in as the world’s first houseguests, it isn’t long before tensions escalate between the cave family and the modern family. The Bettermans (emphasis on the “better”)-with their elaborate tree house, amazing inventions and irrigated acres of fresh produce-are a couple of steps above the Croods on the evolutionary ladder. Another family already lives there: the Bettermans. When they discover an idyllic walled-in paradise that meets all their needs, they think their problems are solved … except for one thing. So, the first prehistoric family sets off into the world in search of a safer place to call home. The Croods have survived their fair share of dangers and disasters, from fanged prehistoric beasts to surviving the end of the world, but now they will face their biggest challenge of all: another family
