Didn't see this one coming. In the flurry of new movie trailers that have been released this week Dreamworks Animation has release not only a new movie trailer for their upcoming animation Over the Hedge but an official poster as well.
Over the Hedge Trailer
I have been geeked on Over the Hedge ever since the release of the first trailer. Now throw in the fact that there is a squirral (Steve Carell) who loves to show what he can do with his nuts and a skunk who does atomic bomb size sprays and this animated film looks like the cat's pajamas. The animation is crisp and the jokes are up to the Shrek standards laid down by Dreamworks.
However, before the new trailer, check out the first official poster for Over the Hedge.
Over the Hedge Poster
Just whose backyard is it, anyway?
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. Enter RJ, an opportunistic raccoon, who 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 blended family safely on their side of the hedge. But, proving the adage that one man's garbage is another man's—or rather animal's—treasure, 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. Eventually, RJ and Verne form an unlikely friendship as they learn to co-exist with—and even exploit—this strange new world called suburbia.
Heading up an all-star voice cast, Bruce Willis is the voice of the mischievous con-artist raccoon named RJ, and Emmy winner Garry Shandling voices the overprotective turtle named Verne in the computer-animated comedy Over the Hedge.
Over the Hedge also features an impressive
cast that includes Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Nick Nolte, Catherine
O'Hara, William Shatner, Steve Carell, Eugene Levy and Wanda Sykes.
