A Gran Day Out is the first episode of season 1 of the animated television series Dawn of the Croods. The show is a prequel to the popular animated movie The Croods, and takes place in a time before the events of the film. The series follows the adventures of the Crood family as they navigate life in a prehistoric world filled with danger and excitement.

In this episode, we are introduced to the Crood family. The family consists of Grug, the father and leader of the family; Ugga, the mother; Thunk, their son who is slightly slower than the rest of the family; Eep, their teenage daughter who is curious and adventurous; Gran, Grug's mother-in-law who is always causing trouble; and Sandy, their baby daughter who is always up to something mischievous.

The episode starts with the family waking up to a beautiful morning in their cave. As they sit down for breakfast, they realize that they are running low on food. Grug suggests that they go on a hunting trip to find food, but Gran has other plans. She announces that she wants to go to the watering hole to relax and sunbathe.

Grug is skeptical of this plan, knowing that the watering hole is a dangerous place filled with predators. But Gran is insistent, and the family ultimately agrees to go with her to the watering hole.

As they make their way through the prehistoric landscape, they encounter a number of dangerous creatures, including a giant spider and a saber-toothed tiger. The family scrambles to avoid these creatures and stay safe, but Gran seems completely unfazed by the danger.

Finally, they arrive at the watering hole, but it's not the peaceful oasis that Gran had anticipated. The place is overrun with prehistoric creatures, and the family is quickly engulfed in chaos.

Despite the danger, the family works together to fight off the creatures and protect themselves. With Gran leading the way, they manage to escape and make it back home safely.

In the end, the family realizes that even though Gran might be a handful, she's still an important part of their family. They sit down to enjoy a family meal together, happy to be safe and together.

Overall, A Gran Day Out is a fun and exciting episode that sets the tone for the rest of the series. It introduces us to the characters and the world they live in, and highlights the importance of family and teamwork in a dangerous world. Fans of The Croods will no doubt enjoy this prequel series, as it expands on the world and characters that they already love.
