Last night we took the kids to see Dreamworks Over the Hedge a very funny story about when suburbia meets the wild. It is really poignant here in the northeast where there is nonstop development. Houses, "McMansions," coffee shops, and shopping malls are rising out of the ground, leaving the local wildlife struggling to find a niche. There are reports of coyotes, bears, and moose, to name a few, roaming down main streets and foraging in backyards. Let's face it where else do they have to go. As their food sources are destroyed they will turn to raiding our garbage just like the animals in the movie. What extremes will humans go to rid themselves of unwanted wildlife? See the movie to get one human's idea of pest control. Don't want to spoil it for you.
It was worth seeing, graphics excellent and some great lines. Made you think about how nonhumans view us.
