** When Eep meets Guy, she very easy overpowers him before he quickly befriends her, introducing her to fire and a calling-shell if she changes his mind about coming with him, establishing him as less physically imposing than the Croods, but intelligent, compassionate and a touch lonely.

* RuleOfSymbolism: With the heavy use of LightDarknessJuxtaposition, this becomes a recurring theme in the film. The film's beginning has the rule that "Darkness brings Death" as a reason why the Croods (and by extension, Guy, Chunky and many of the animal characters) cower and hide away when the sun sets. Having not discovered fire yet, the Croods live most of their lives in the darkness of the cave which, while cosy and safe, is dull and oppressive, leaving the Croods to not so much "live" as "not-die". Guy -- a positive and progressive influence on the family's lives -- is the one who introduces fire to them, is himself afraid of the dark and has spent his entire life following the sun.
** The sun itself (the original light-source) can be read as a symbol of hope, as Eep, Guy and later Grug (after reconciling with Guy) reach for it multiple times. The story Guy tells the family involves a young tiger riding the sun to "Tomorrow", an abstract idea of a better future.
** Fire can also be applied as a metaphor for the outside world; this bright and beautiful thing that can also be incredibly dangerous. The light from Guy's torch peeking through the cave door leads Eep (and by proxy the rest of the family) out of the safety of the cave, an effect that proves to have both positive and negative effects on their lives. The Croods have seen the outside world as an inherently terrifying place frought with danger, but with Guy's help they learn how to adapt and appreciate the good things about it too.

Set in a fictionalized prehistoric era, ''The Croods'' is a CG animated family film from Creator/DreamWorksAnimation, about an overprotective caveman father named Grug whose one rule among his family is to never leave their cave. When his daughter Eep grows into a curious teenager, she wanders outside. Encroaching earthquakes destroy their home while the family is outside, forcing them to seek shelter elsewhere.
