Over the Hedge is a movie about a group of animals trying their hand at living off the urban world.
An overly indulgent raccoon deprives a hibernating bear of his food stock, but the bear catches him and warns him to get his food back or be eaten alive, within a week. Armed with this mission, the raccoon makes his way to a little group of animals made up of a turtle, a skunk, a squirrel, a family of possum and a family of porcupines. He considers using them for his food collection.
Over the hibernating season, apart from the immediate area of where they were hibernating, the rest of the greenery was removed to make way for the urban townhomes. The animals are amazed at the hedge, whom they call as 'Steve', until the raccoon introduces them to the urban lifestyle.
Although the raccoon doesn't tell them about his personal mission, he makes them gather the food that he needed to please the bear. Over the course of this gathering, the animals were put through many dangers and troubles, but they escaped. Close to the end, they are seriously captured and the raccoon, having gathered what he needed, leaves them in captivity.
Although he returns the stuff to the bear, he is overburdened by guilt and takes the food away to help the animals. In the end, the animals get together and the bear is caught and even the food has now been stored, by the hyperactive squirrel.
An OK movie to watch. Sometimes, I found myself wondering why I was watching the movie. It wasn't entirely engrossing and humour wasn't as strong to keep me glued. Worth a watch.
