    This isn't much of a plot, but as in the "Toy Story" films the combination of a varied cast of characters and a vision of the human world from an unlikely perspective make for consistent amusement.

    Aside from having some great animation, the writing is funny and clever.

    Not at the level of "Finding Nemo" or "Shrek," but is a lot of fun, awfully nice to look at, and filled with energy and smiles.

    You'll soon be sick of digital furballs, but there’s plenty of fun here.

  1. I didn't know there was a comic strip about it before this was made. I didn't even read it. anyway, this movie is way beyond good. its great. the animation kicks ***, the characters were well-done, and the songs were great. Over The Hedge is just the right CGI movie for people all around the world. Expand
  2. Una gran pelicula animada, que te hace matar de risa; divertida y desopilante.Una pelicula entretenida, con un humor hilarante, apta para verla en familia. Expand
  3. The film sometimes jumps "Over the Hedge" in terms of story or comedy, but nevertheless at least its linear and simple to understand.

    Not very clever and over wrought with bad jokes for older kids and not to subliminal "green" messages for the under 7 year old crowd. It tries to satisfy too large a demografic and in so doing it compromises itself. It's no Shreck that's for sure. Expand
