8 and over

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2006)

Over the Hedge is a wonderfully funny movie more oriented to children over 8. In the store I've seen some very young children going for this film and there are some questionable phrases and scenes. But other than that, the movie is an A1 accomplishment for the cartoon filming industry. Even if you don't recognize the voices, you can tell they are seasoned actors because of the excellent inflection, tone, and cadence. While the plot isn't the most intelligent one you could think of, the delivery is great. The cartooning is also top notch with very few shortcuts in the design. A great movie for everyone over 8, maybe a little scary for those under 8.
