Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2006)

The Plot: Am egotistical but smart raccoon RJ causes an evil hungry bear to lose all of his suburban food, The bear gives RJ a week to return with all the food.
RJ then meets a "family" of sweet possums, innocent porcupines, a hilarious skunk, a hyperactive squirrel and a lonely tortoise. These animals discover a hedge that is separating them from suburbia.
When they go over the hedge, their lives change forever as they are exposed to the everyday lives of the human race.
RJ, meanwhile, uses the animals to help him get food from the humans, but not all of them trust him.
The Pros: This film will appeal to all ages. It is hysterical and very clever. The characters have such great personalities which are easy to relate to even though they are animals.
There is a lot of character development as well as witty humour that will be appreciated by young and old alike. The all star cast is spectacular too.
The Cons: It is way too short! The film is only 83 minutes!
Special Features: Tons of nutty games and activities. An insider's look at behind the Hedge. Dwayne's Verme Tech infomercial. Meet the Crazy cast, and much more.
The Final Word: Over the Hedge is a must-see animation, which will be enjoyed by the whole family.
In the category of CGI animated films this one scores an 8/10.
