Over the hedge film critique

Over the hedge fits into the animated category but also the action adventure category because the animals friends go on a crazy journey to "forage" the food from over the big green wall. As a viewer we go from the peaceful forest where a bunch of animals are waking up from hibernation to the chaotic city where they are forced to drive a car and are being chased by a bear. I love how the humans are pictured as these villainous greedy and over-indulgent creatures because this movie is really only about the animals and how they are actually more sophisticated than us. One of my favorites parts was when hammy finally got to drink the energy drink and was able to move so fast it slowed down time. I'm pretty sure turtles can't just take off their shells anytime they want but it's super funny when Verne does! I think this movie is a lot of fun and teaches people about forgiveness, friendship, trust, and making good choices.
I think it's cute how stella finds a man who's perfect for her because he can't smell, and isn't that what we all want? To be perfect in someone else's eyes. Everyone makes mistakes big or small you should always try to forgive people or it will just end up haunting you in the end. I love revisiting these movies because it reminds me how much I love film! I love how for 2 hours you are taken away to another place and can just let go and relax. Also I love how a story comes to life and you can take a complicated lesson and make it fun and enjoyable.
