Great Not Just Family, Family Movie

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2006)

I really like animated films and Over The Hedge was VERY funny. The voice acting is superb, the animation is beautiful, and the story isn't forced. It is a truly well done movie that doesn't pander to children or go over their heads with adult humor and manages to cater to both groups on an equal level.
Yes, there's a moral to the story, like every cartoon has to have, but it really doesn't hit you over the head with it. There's some cartoon violence, but it's all done in a humorous way that won't scare the little ones.
I think Steve Carrell as Hammy the hyperactive squirrell steals the movie. It's worth the money to see on the big screen.
