While this movie doesn't have the depth of Finding Nemo or Shrek, it
was a very fun and well done animation by Dreamworks. The animation was
first rate, and the animals were very fun to watch. The voice acting
was superb and well cast. What I enjoyed the most about this movie
(other than the super funny bits here and there) is the social
commentary they presented. It's nothing serious, but it shows us how
gluttonous many of us "humans" have become. While many of the human
characters are exaggerations, there's quite a bit of truth behind each
caricature. My favorite is the Home Owner Association President. She
was so overdone (yet so realistic!) that I wasn't sure if I was
laughing because it was so true to life, or if it was just so out
there.
Anyway, good movie, good times, and go with good company. After some
mediocre animation movies from Dreamworks, they hit a good one again
with Over the Hedge.
