A prehistoric family is forced out of their cave when it is destroyed by an earthquake. A friendly boy, much smarter than any of them, warns them of an impending apocalypse and agrees to lead them to safety in a faraway mountain range. Along the way, they have several adventures, overcome many obstacles, and the boy and cave girl fall in love. The father of the family makes a great sacrifice at the end and realizes he must change his thinking if the family is to survive. Standard animated plot is bolstered by imaginative landscape filled with colorful characters (piranhakeets and ground whales, for example). Voice cast is also good, with Nicolas Cage frequently improvising to great effect.
