Over The Hedge

With OTH the emphasis of the reviews is the "humor". With Cars it's the "heart." You decide which is more positive.

Yes, "Over the Hedge" had heart. The characters are very appealing, and when Hammy says "I'm not stupid", it breaks my heart. But its biggest strength is in its humor. The van exploding when a wagon of food lands on it. Dwayne shooting at anything that resembles an animal ("BUNNIES!!!"). The whole sequence at the end with Hammy. The movie, as

With "Cars", there was humor, and plenty of it, but clearly what they were aiming for was heart. There were a lot of those "Quieter" moments. I can't even remember them all since I've only seen the movie once.

So, what I'm saying is, critics may notice the heart in "Cars" more because its the film's strongest aspect. Likewise, they may talking about the humor in "Hedge" more for the same reason.

n Hammy says "I'm not stupid", it breaks my heart.

I know right!

Soooo sweet.

Well, then they must have missed my heart.

I have a feeling that 'DreamWorks Cars' would have done differently for you, Vi.

If the story was actually interesting, maybe.

I was joking about the Alex plushie thing...just so you know.

Actually, Over the Hedge had almost no heart, almost no story and almost no humour.

Why do you think that?

Just wondering.

(I guess judging from your avatar, you're a big Pixar fan...?)

That's a Pixar avatar?

I wish I could give my opinion, but I have yet to see either

. However when I have time, I can finally watch my copy of "Over The Hedge" woot!

That's a Pixar avatar? Shocked

Yeah, it's part of the Ratatouille logo.

Like, the rat's whiskers or something, and a chef's hat.

Oh! That makes sence

. I was so thrown off because it didn't resemble a character, or something that's been in previews

Thanks for clearing that up Vi
