Animated movies often get A-listers to lend their voice, but the performers do not meet each other personally. Recording sessions are generally done independently for scheduling reasons with dialogues being synced in post-production. Group recording sessions do take place, but they have become rare.

The Croods: A New Age is helmed by Joel Crawford in his feature directorial debut. The movie shows the family encountering new people and exploring new territories as they leave their cave for the first time. They will also face an all-new outside enemy. But the Croods will also make friends with another family, The Bettermans, who are modern people and thought there are no more caveman lefts. It has released in the United States of America on November 25 and will be available via Premium VOD from December 25, 2020.
