Over the Hedge
is an animation classic that will thrill the kids and keep the
adults happy.
This film could be the beginning of a series
with something to say about man's influential relationship with
his fellow critter-creatures.
It's laugh-out-loud funny while getting
its audience to look at itself from another perspective. |
Despite my misgivings, this computer-animated
film was funnier than I expected.
Although the premise of animals vs. humans
has been done to death, the slapstick antics of hungry forest
creatures hit a little close to home.
Yes, you've seen it all before, but the
voice characterizations make it all worthwhile. |
Over the Hedge
is based on the comic strip of the same name.
It's about a bunch of wilderness-dwelling
creatures who learn how to search for man-made goodies on the
other side of a tall hedge that separates man from beast.
This animated comedy is an action movie
for kids. Parents who go along with the kids can enjoy the social
satire. |
