World Premiere
Over the Hedge
| USA | 87 MINUTES | EnglishAnimation
Spring has sprung, and Verne and his woodland friends awaken from their long winter's nap to discover that a tall, green "thing" has mysteriously cropped up right through the middle of their home. RJ, an opportunistic raccoon, explains that the world beyond the hedge is the "gateway to the good life" where peculiar creatures called humans live to eat, rather than eat to live. Suspicious and even a little jealous of RJ, the ever-cautious Verne wants to keep his family safely on their side of the hedge, while the manipulative RJ tries to convince the woodland band that there is little to fear and everything to gain from their over-indulgent new neighbors. Heading up the all-star cast are the voices of Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, William Shatner, Wanda Sykes, and Nick Nolte. Go behind the scenes with the production team for a show and tell presentation of DreamWorks animated new comedy.
