Full of Satire and Laughs for the Older Audience

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2006)

It's been awhile since I've seen an enjoyable animated film. Toy Story (1 & 2) and Shrek come to mind.
From beginning to end, this movie is suffused with enough satire to keep you interested. You learn to watch and listen for the subtle and direct jokes and inferences they make about society and people in general (they're mostly all true too). By the end, your face should be sore and swollen from all the smiling and laughing.
While the movie generated a few hilarious moments with its animation, it did not rely on it to make you laugh. It's a thinking film. It's a observational film. By making a satire about the way we live, it makes us consider it and the humor about it. You're brain is there, basically.
Voice casting was excellent. Bruce Willis did a good job. Again, I was very impressed. I did not regret spending the $7 to see it.
If you have not seen it, or have felt disappointed with animated films in general these last few years, I would highly recommend you watch 'Over the Hedge.' It may once again give you hope.
