About This Movie

Over the Hedge has this nice mix of humor and heart, not just for kids but for anyone who can appreciate a good family dynamic among a bunch of mismatched critters. The animation style is bright and vibrant, really capturing that suburban feel with a twist of woodland charm. The pacing's pretty snappy, keeping you engaged with clever one-liners and some surprisingly touching moments. The voice performances are solid – Bruce Willis as the scheming raccoon really sells that sly charm, while the rest of the cast balances it out well. It manages to explore themes of community and family without getting too preachy, which is a nice touch. Plus, there’s a certain joy in seeing nature clash with suburban life.

Released by DreamWorks Animation in 2006Directed by Karey Kirkpatrick and co-directed by Jason ReitmanFeatures a mix of CGI animation and traditional stylesBased on the comic strip by Michael Fry and T. Lewis
