Two prehistoric families keep learning to share one farm in The Croods: Family Tree, the 2021 animated comedy series spun off from the feature film world of the Croods and the Bettermans.

What is The Croods: Family Tree about?

Short-form episodes pick up the tangled relationship between two households thrown together by circumstance, mining the culture clash between a cave-dwelling clan and its more refined neighbors for quick, self-contained comedy. Each installment leans on the same core dynamic that carried the films: two very different families figuring out, one small disaster at a time, how to actually live under one roof rather than merely tolerate each other.

About the cast

The voice cast includes Kelly Marie Tran, Amy Landecker, Ally Dixon, Kiff VandenHeuvel, A.J. LoCascio, Artemis Pebdani and Dee Bradley Baker, giving each family member a distinct comic voice across the shorter episode format.

Context & significance

At around 25 minutes per episode, Family Tree is built for quick, bingeable viewing rather than the longer arcs of its parent films, and the animation comedy genre gives it a natural home alongside other family-friendly series in the catalogue. Spin-off series built around an existing animated film world are a common way for a studio to keep a cast of characters active between features, letting side stories and smaller gags get room a feature-length film would not have space for. The show carries over the fantasy and adventure elements of the films while trading their scale for a tighter, episodic rhythm. The series format also gives smaller supporting characters more screen time than the films could spare, filling out the wider farm dynamic between chores, squabbles and the occasional invention gone wrong.
