I loved Over the Hedge!

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2006)

I have to admit, I was getting a little worried with all these computer animated animal movies, it seems like your typical plot with over done cuteness. It has some of the over done cuteness, but actually, I still really enjoyed watching Over the Hedge, it had great humor and a fun story. Not to mention a great cat of stars that seemed like they just had a blast doing this movie.
It's about a raccoon, RJ who is starving and attempts to steal a bear's stash of food, unfortunately, he is caught and accidentally destroys the bear's stash. RJ promises him that if he can get all the snacks back then the bear, Vincent, will spare his life. RJ gets a group of forest animals who are surrounded by suburbia, the only sanctuary they have is behind their hedge in the forest. RJ tricks them into thinking that they are just gathering snacks for themselves, but he's really secretly is getting Vincent his snacks back. Instead, RJ finds himself a true family and teaches them strength and self esteem on how to live like kings!
This story has great values for the kids, not to mention the jokes are great for either kids or adults. The animation is great and really fun to look at, it's amazing how far we've come, how alive these creatures look. I would highly recommend Over the Hedge for anyone, it's highly entertaining and just a great family film!
