Best animated movie since Shrek!

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2006)

CGI movies seem to be a new fad these days in Hollywood. It seems every other week another one hits theaters. Im sure I don't have to tell you that not all of them have lived up to the standards of Shrek or Toy Story. Before watching this I thought it was just another one of those with an ensemble cast, like shark tale. Man was I wrong! This is a great movie that people of all ages will enjoy. The cast fits the characters perfectly, from Bruce Willis as RJ the raccoon to Steve Carrell as hammy the squirrel. The jokes in the movie are aimed for kids and they're actually funny! The animation is top notch as well, you can actually get a characters emotion by the way their eyes move. The only problem i had with this movie is that it was a little too predictable, but still worth watching. Out of all the animated movies of 2006, Over the Hedge is definitely my favorite. If you're looking for a good family movie with a great story, check this one out. I haven't had this much fun watching an animated movie since Shrek!
