A Classic Movie Review: Over The Hedge.
Hello movie lovers, and members of the Cinetv community. It's a good day for us to discuss about some classic old movies that we have watched, but before I do that, I will tell you how I ended up picking this classic animation.
The truth is that this animated movie was released a long time ago, and it wasn't as popular as other animated movies, but people who watch classics and have been watching movies for a very long time will know this movie.
Over The Hedge.
Over The Hedge was released in 2006, which is why many people born after that year or a year before it was released might not know the movie, but the movie is a classic movie.
It tells a story about redemption, trust, family, care, animal extinction, and climate change. You might be wondering how a single movie can pass so many messages, but trust me, Over the Hedge did justice to passing all these messages.
It was last week Friday, after I was done with all my jobs, I decided to take a break and watch a movie. The channel I switched to was about to start a new movie, and when I checked the name, the title was "Over the Hedge"
This was a movie I had seen before; in fact, I only saw it once, but I remember watching it, so I decided to watch it over again, and this time it felt like I was just watching it for the first time again.
The storyline about Over the Hedge was about a raccoon who went to steal from a bear, but in the process of doing that, everything he wanted to steal got destroyed. The Bear caught the Raccoon, but he promised to bring everything back within a week. One of its searches to get everything that was destroyed, he came across a family of animals who have been living together to survive both the summer and winter.
This group of animals has no idea about the outside world, nor have they seen anything outside that small habitat they have been living in, but after the winter was over, they saw that the forest was gone and human had built different houses on their land.
Now, while they were still confused, the raccoon made his way, promising to explain everything and showing them how to get food from the humans. Meanwhile, the raccoon was doing this because he had no family of his own; he wanted to use the set of this animal family to gather all the food he stole and destroy it for the bear so the bear won't kill him.
In the end, after they had gathered everything, the secret got leaked, the bear got his food back, and the human captured the animals while they were trying to escape back into the forest. The raccoon was the only one that escaped, but will he go back for his newfound family, or will he find a new home, far away from the bear?
All these are in the movie, and I can promise you that when you watch it, you will understand why I said it was a classic. I would rate it a 7.5/10. It wasn't bad and not extremely good, I would still recommend it for anyone who loves animated movies.
Thanks for reading. My name is Fashtioluwa
