Over the Hedge. What a fun animated film! Not just for kids. Like all good children's literature, it poses questions and makes people think. What does happen when human beings take all the land for themselves? Where will the woodland creatures go? What happens when our worlds collide?

I've heard seagulls called the "rats of the air", because they have adapted to human urbanization and suburbanization -- they eat our trash. We take the habitat from other animals, but ridicule and vilify those who can survive us. Hmmmm.
