This is the animation movie experience I’d been waiting for, and can’t wait to have again!
William Shatner and Avril Lavigne as a possum/daughter duo were a welcome surprise, but in the end Gary Shandling as Verne the Turtle takes the animated stage with his words of wisdom and family. Steve Carrel adopted the role of Hammy the spirited squirrel so gleefully, you can’t help but enjoy his sincerity and newfound adoration for cookies. How can you deny a group of animals, from possums to baby porcupines, taking back what’s theirs from the encroaching suburbanites? With Thomas Hayden Church voicing The Verminator, the overeager exterminator, and Wanda Sykes as the woefully-independent skunk, the casting couldn’t have been a better fit. The dialogue and deft musical cues added insight and kept my undivided attention. This film’s impeccable comedic timing gave a pleasant new inflection to the all-familiar one-liners. I never stopped giggling at the many mishaps posed by their struggles of living in the wild, as well as, laughing at suburban human behavior as seen through the eyes of RJ the Raccoon, voiced by Bruce Willis. If you like adorable animals, comedy, and misadventure as much as I do, then you’ll love Over the Hedge! I was immediately captured by the heartfelt emotions these creature characters portrayed. The following is a review written by Animated News guest writer Rachael Reynolds: We present you with a guest review, exclusive interviews with three of the voice actors, and some of the official production notes. Paul Pioneer Press reports, “This witty and wise comedy is easily the most thoroughly enjoyable animated movie since The Incredibles,” while Erik Childress from states, “Its animators have really brightened things up arguably outdoing even the Shrek films for visual astuteness, making this the closest any studio has gotten to Pixar’s dominating perfection.” With a respectable 64% on the Rotten Tomatoes meter and word that it has tested higher with test audiences than either Shrek film Over the Hedge appears to be in for a good showing at this weekend’s box office. Today (May 19) marks the release of DreamWorks Animation’s computer animated feature film Over the Hedge.
