Mar 9 2006Over the Hedge Trailer
The full trailer for Dreamworks Animation's Over the Hedge is up at Yahoo! Movies, and it looks to be sort of a children's comedy with a message. In the same way Bambi said, "Hey, stop shooting deer mothers," Over the Hedge says, "Hey, stop building suburbs, rich white people." And, like Bambi, it looks boring. It's probably decent for kids, but in recent years Pixar has really raised the bar for children's animation, and this film doesn't look at all smart or interesting. It's particularly disappointing because they're wasting a great cast. With talent like Steve Carell, Garry Shandling, Bruce Willis and William Shatner, they could have done so much more. Like have them sit in a circle, shirtless, reading Garfield comics aloud to the camera. That would have probably been better than this.

do we really need cute woodland critters to tell us to stop building strip malls and applebee's?

What's with this endless stream of crappy looking movies about forest animals. Seriously haven't like 4 of these already come out? Hoodwinked, The Wild, Madagasgar, Chicken Little come on enough is enough

The THX/porcupine thing seemed funny enough.

Avril Lavigne makes her film debut in this. She plays the daughter to fellow Canadian William Shatner.
