Over The Hedge

I am offically naming this the year of animated movies. We've already had Hoodwinked, Doogal and Ice Age 2. Now Dreamworks wants another peice of the action. Dreamworks continues to impress me with animated films. I can say that this film could easily be mistaken for a Pixar film. It's animation is so detailed and so smooth it's a sheer wonder how Dreamworks puts out 2 to 3 of these a year.
Another amazing thing is how well each voice actor goes with their part. I don't think I can think of anyone better. Bruce Willis is unrecognizible in his role as R.J. But Steve Carell completely stole the show as Hammy. Which really reminded me of Twitchy from Hoodwinked.
The move starts out pretty fast and continues to move at a good pace. However it's the final scene with Hammy that had me in stitches. This is easily the best animated movie of the year so far. Go see it now. You won't regret it.

8/10

I really want to see this movie badly, I just think I'll get so many laughes out of it. Glad you were able to give it an 8/10 XD.

asdf, Plus it's just beautiful :0

I gotta see this

I saw this movie last night.

Fantastic movie. I'd even go so far as to say that it's Dreamwork's best of the CGI movies. Even better than Shrek. Most of the movie is crazy fast paced, and the end of the movie is just all out INSANITY. I didn't realize Steve Carell was Hammy either. That suprised me, because you can't just place his voice.

I really can't praise this movie enough. It's really good.

Spoilers:

The trap at the very end was one of the most insane things I've ever seen. When the trap goes off and the huge beam of light shoots into the air and you can see the light outside the galaxy. It's all so awesome.

Funfact: BoA Kwon, one of the most popular singers in Japan AND Korea, provided a voice for one of the characters.

It kinda looks like another cliche pop-culture-infused CG movie to me. Is it, or does it actually go beyond fart humor and pop culture?

Oh, and
Spoilers:

the part where the van crashed through the house and when the car exploded

were awesome

I loved Hammy's sugar rush where he moves so fast time stands still.

I'm sick of all these CG movies-even if they are good.

I miss hand drawn cartoons

There's about 8 more coming out this year.

Same.

I don't have a problem as long as they are quality like this movie. Flushed Away, Meet the Robinsons, Ant Bully and Happy Feet look awesome. Then you've got Monster House, which WOULD look good, because the anything with the house is neat, but the human animations are absolutely horrible.

There was also some other CGI movie that's coming out this year, that was in the previews last night, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Cars of course. Cars looks awesome I can't wait for that.
