Over the Hedge (DVD, 2006, Widescreen Version; Checkpoint)

This movie is so funny! And it is good for kids and adults alike!!! The plot is that a group of hibernating animals awakes to find that their woods have shrunk during the winter. A fish out of water movie so to speak! The hibernator's led by a caring, wise, and hesitant turtle named Verne consider themselves a family. Their family is made up of Verne the turtle, Hammy the squirrel, Stella the skunk, family of opossums, and a family of porcupines. They wake from their winter hibernation to discover that their woods have shrunk and now they have a large bush encircling their woods. They begin to name the hedge "Steve" when a wiley racoon name RJ shows up to be their guide in this new and strange world. But RJ is not as helpful as he seems.

The action and adventure in this movie are nonstop. The animation is just fantastic and the storyline will keep you hopping. Just when you think you've laughed for the last time it will get you started again. We have had this movie since Sunday and my children have watched it about 8 times! They love it. The extras with this movie are cute too. Don't miss Hammy's Boomerang Adventure. That will certainly crack you up!

This is a good movie. It is worth paying for and it will continue to make you laugh for years to come! I will definitely pull this out when everyone is kind of Blah in my house or on a rainy day!
