Lewis. The movie features a voice cast led by Bruce Willis as RJ, a mischievous raccoon, and Garry Shandling as Verne, a cautious turtle, alongside other talents including Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes, William Shatner, and Nick Nolte. The story revolves around a group of woodland creatures who wake up from hibernation to discover that a suburban neighborhood has encroached upon their forest habitat. RJ, owing a large amount of food to a bear named Vincent (voiced by Nick Nolte) after accidentally destroying his stash, persuades the group of animals, including Verne the turtle, Hammy the squirrel (voiced by Steve Carell), and Stella the skunk (voiced by Wanda Sykes), among others, to raid the human suburbia for food to repay his debt. The film humorously explores themes of consumerism, environmental conservation, and the meaning of family and community as the animals navigate their way through the challenges of interacting with the human world. “Over the Hedge“ was praised for its witty humor, vibrant animation, and the heartwarming dynamic among its diverse group of animal characters. The film effectively targets both children and adults with its clever satire of suburban lifestyle and consumption habits, wrapped in a narrative that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The voice performances were particularly lauded for adding depth and personality to the animated characters, making them memorable and relatable. Critically, the film received positive reviews for its animation quality, voice acting, and the way it balances humor with a message about the impact of human expansion on wildlife and nature. It was noted for its ability to entertain while subtly delivering lessons on cooperation, adaptation, and the importance of preserving natural habitats. Commercially, “Over the Hedge“ was a success, performing well at the box office and further solidifying DreamWorks Animation's reputation for creating engaging, high-quality animated films. The movie's appeal to a wide audience, catchy soundtrack, and the inclusion of bonus materials in its DVD release contributed to its longevity and popularity. In retrospect, “Over the Hedge“ is considered a clever and enjoyable animated film that stands out for its humorous take on serious environmental and societal issues. Its engaging story and character development, combined with a meaningful message, ensure that it remains relevant and appreciated by audiences of all ages, making it a standout entry in the animated genre of the mid-2000s.
