Over The Hedge is a Dreamworks animation that was written by T Lewis, Len Blum, Lorne Cameron and David Hoseltone, and directed by Tim Johnson and Karey Kirkpatrick that was released back in 2006.

100 Classic Book Collection for DS is a really good idea for the DS. The bassic idea is that you hold your DS like a book and use the stylus to turn the pages of a wide range of classic stories. In the collection you have such stories as; Treasure Island, Pride and Prejudice, Oliver Twist, Romeo and Juliet, Jane eyre, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and many more. I found it very easy to use, there is a virtual bookshelf to browse the many books in the collection and by simply clicking on a book it opens up and you can read it with ease. There is also a book guide with custom recommendations that can aid you in which book to read next. Also you can read the author infomation before each book which gives you a good insite in to the history behind the book you are about to read. I found it really helpful as I often get board of books and never ...
Advantages: Nice film, great cast, interesting characters, great for kids Disadvantages: Not much to keep the adults interested, not as funny as other films
that part of the film might leave you with a warm glow!
In my opinion it?s a good but not great film. It?s worth a watch but I don?t think I will buy the DVD. Great for kids but maybe not so much for the whole family.
Special Features
=
Verm Tech Infomercial ? A pretend advert for the Verm-Tech Institute with Dwayne the character who is the verminator in the film. Also talks about the different types of animals in the film.
Jingle Burps ? Most children will probably find this amusing its Hammy the squirrel burping to the song Jingle Bells. Most adults however will probably find this disgusting!
The Tech of Over The Hedge - Interesting feature about how the animation is done and how the characters come to life.
Meet The Cast ? Probably the most interesting feature on the DVD. Here you get to meet ...
