: Over the Hedge
Not as bad as I was expecting. From the trailers I feared it would be a leftist, cartoon animal-based attack on human greed and lifestyle, an environmentalist manifesto, but other than a few lame barbs at humans as eating machines and couch potatoes, the film’s mostly about a self-centered racoon who manipulates a motley group of forest animals into doing his thieving for him, then repents when he realizes they’ve genuinely accepted him as part of the “family.” The story’s got some heart — not as much as Pixar films, but more than most animated fare. I liked it.
