The 2013 DVD transfer has a slight green tint in all cave scenes. When Grug tells his bedtime story (“The story of the punch… monkey”), the compression artifacts dance around his beard.

A red siren flashes. A stern British voice: “You wouldn’t steal a handbag. You wouldn’t steal a car.” A montage of shadowy figures burning DVDs. Kai covers his eyes. The screen cuts to black. MAIN FEATURE: THE CROODS (2013)
