The Croods: Family Tree

* *

- -We're almost there!

We're gonna make it!

- -

-Whoa. What is that? -I think you mean

who is that?

It's a new person!

A new person!

Also, we're alive!

Alive!

Surviving an orb?

New ice guy? Or girl?

This is too much good news at once!

-I'm dizzy. -Head between your knees, Dawn.

Whatever's in there,

it's frozen solid, and it's never waking up.

-Not so fast, Gran. The ice may have put

this poor soul in suspended animation,

but I, Phil Betterman,

will bring our mystery guest back to life!

-So, that means we'll have a new friend on the farm?

Yes!

No!

Why's everyone screaming?

-[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]

[Stuck together, stuck, stuck together]

[It's an evolution for worse or for better]

-Behold as the Betterman Melt Machine

thaws this frozen soul and returns it

-to the realm of the living! -Hm...

-Grug! That steam is for melting, not cooking!

-Why can't it be both? -Guys! Look!

Are we sure about this?

What if he's some aimless drifter

who wandered in the wild for years,

and now he's gonna impose himself, uninvited,

on a well-intentioned group of strangers?

And what is he wearing? I mean, put on a shirt! Am I right?

-Guy-baby, are you jealous of the frozen guy?

No.

Hm...

-Hwam! -What's that, Mom?

I'm saying Hwam!

Because that's his name.

He was my boyfriend.

Why is everyone so quiet?

-Before you all start asking a bunch of dumb questions,

here's the story!

He was the love of my life.

We met on the battlefield.

I took his weapon,

and then he took my heart.

We both loved exploring and fighting,

so we were gonna run off together to see the world

and then beat it up!

I waited for him for three days,

but he never showed.

And I was never dumb enough to trust a man again.

- -Huh?

-And now, you can! Thanks to me!

He's alive!

-Whoa! It's okay, Hwam! We're not gonna hurt you.

Hwam...

This is Phil Betterman speaking.

I gave you life,

so--

Meat stick as a weapon?

What can't meat stick do?

- You're our new friend!

He seems nice.

-What's going on? Where am I? Who are you people?

Hwam.

Gran?

Why! Did! You! Ditch! Me!

I didn't ditch you!

I was on my way to meet you,

and I stopped to get a bouquet of bones!

There was a rumble, I look up, and hwam!

Just like my name. Avalanche!

Next thing I know, I'm waking up, and you're punching me!

I'm not buying it, No Show.

-It's true! Here! I can prove it!

Look at this. Huh?

Alligoater bones?

My favorite.

-Just checking to see if there's any meat on these bones.

- -You know what?

I can check later. You're having a moment.

-I guess being frozen in ice for years

makes you work up an appetite!

Nope. He always ate like this.

-This place is amazing! When you're hungry,

there's food to eat. How'd you do that,

and why would you ever stop eating?

-We grow it, and we stop eating when we're full.

Grow? Full?

I don't get it, but I believe you! And you made all of this?

Uh, yes?

Ew! What are you doing? What's happening?

-Where I'm from, the food was scarce

and raw and-and not good!

Nothing like this. What's it called again?

That, my friend, is pie.

-Pie? Pie! -

Well, it's the most delicious thing

this mouth's ever tasted!

I like him! He can stay.

Hey, Hwam! Check this out.

- -

Mm...

That... was... awesome!

How did you do that? Teach me.

Sure thing. Watch my--

-Gah! -

Sorry. Thought I heard a bearacuda. Watch my mouth!

-Hey, when you're done deboning that meat,

maybe I can show you around the farm.

-We'll come, too! -Yeah! New person!

This is the most exciting day of my life.

After the day you got here.

You'll always be my favorite new person.

I was new once.

Stick with me, Hwam.

I know where all the good stuff is.

Back off, you bloodsuckers!

We haven't seen each other since fire was invented.

We need to catch up.

Alone!

What are they?

These are, uh, chicken things.

-They do something around here. -Amazing!

Hello, chicken things!

Sorry, Hwam.

We don't hunt these animals.

We don't hunt him either.

-What about the slow, confident rats?

Sorry! They're off-limits, too.

Farm's not all bad, though.

You get used to it. Sort of.

And what are you two doing?

I said alone!

Get outta here!

So, you don't live in a cave? You live there?

-Yeah, that's home now. Sorry it's a dump.

No. It's unbelievable!

But, don't you miss caves?

Caves? Don't be ridiculous.

Welcome to modern living, courtesy of Phil Betterman!

I'm also the one who brought you back from the dead, so...

-First of all, you have two names?

Wow! Second, I'm going to climb your home now.

-Uh, no need to climb. There's a better way.

Or should I say a Betterman way.

Ah...

Whoa...

-I call it the Betterman Elevator!

It takes you up.

-Wow. A wooden cave that moves. Okay!

-Time to climb! -Make a path, Top Knot!

-No! You take the elevator up instead of...

Wait. Why does this seem so familiar?

Grug! Stop climbing up the tree!

Use the elevator!

Aw, but Hwam's doing it!

- -

-Who are you? -I'm Hwam! We met.

I was the guy frozen in the block of ice.

-Uh, sorry. Not ringing any bells.

Wait. You were frozen in a block of ice? Weird.

There was this other guy who was frozen

in a block of ice earlier.

Big day for ice guys, I guess.

What are you looking at?

Just watching some window.

-That's the outside! But we're inside!

Yeah. Isn't it great?

-Yes. I just wish I could see more

to make sure nothing's sneaking up on us.

Ah.

-There. What do you think? -Ah...

- I can see... everything!

Hwam, I know we just met,

but there will always be a place for you on my couch

and in my heart.

Huh?
