Caution! - Wild Animals

Today, my family and i went over to our local cinema and watched OVER THE HEDGE. It stars Bruce Willis, Gary Shandling, Wanda Sykes, William Shatner, Avril Lavigne...

The story starts with RJ (Willis) trying to get a packet of cheese cracker from a vending machine... to much of his dismay, the packet didn't fell to the hole (Everybody have faced this situation one way or the other - something has to be done about them vending machine makers!!!)

Okay, so RJ decides to steal food from Vincent (Nick Nolte) a big time bear. Vincent is in hybernation and has about 1 week to go, but RJ got caught instead. So Vincent sez that in a week, get back everything that was lost or get eaten.

RJ them stumbles upon a family of hibernators as well. Verne the Turtle, Hammy the Squirrel, Stella the Skunk, Ozzie & Heather the oPossum and a family of porcupine. The family is in panic because their lovely forest is now a housing estate. It escapes me though that... do animals hybernate for like a year? I mean it takes 1-2 years to build a complete housing area in Malaysia... maybe things work a little faster at the states... hehehhe....

So the family is worried on how to gather food and RJ hatches the perfect plan to save his hyde... by utilising the scared family to gather all the food and finally snatch the food from them...

The story is loaded with good values like greed, being in a family... and the animation is cool to with lots of memorable lines and scenes.

This movie is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than The Wild and Ice Age 2... so bring your kids and loved ones... family and friends... grandpas and grandmas... It's a good family fun movie...

rating:
3.5/5
