!!This movie provides examples of:
* AllStarCast: NicolasCage, EmmaStone, RyanReynolds, Catherine Keener, Clark Duke, Cloris Leachman.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: While all the voice actors are Caucasian, the character design of all the characters is racially vague enough so that they literally could be viewed as the ancestors of pretty much everyone.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: The whole cast is barefoot. Though later adverted when Guy gives Eep a pair and she loves them.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Apparently they're supposed to be missing links: There's a saber-toothed tiger with a macaw's colors, a giant saber-toothed rabbit with tiger stripes, "birds" that look like turtles and [[TheSwarm piranhas]], [[{{irony}} mice that look like elephants, a giant "cat" that looks like an owl]], ostrich-like birds(?) with duck bills and rams' horns, [[AllAnimalsAreDogs lizards that look like dogs, "dogs" that look like alligators]], and a thing that looks like a gourd with piranha teeth. The one exception seen in the trailers is [[GratuitousAnimalSidekick Guy's sloth pal.]]
* OverprotectiveDad: Grug
* SceneryPorn: The landscapes and overall animation in this movie are GORGEOUS.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Although the second one remedies this, the first trailer makes no mention of Guy.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: The world outside the Croods' cave is fantastically beautiful.
** EverythingTryingToKillYou: Its fantastically dangerous too.
* XMeetsY: ''IceAge'' meets ''TheFlintstones''
