What has happened to animated movies? - Over the Hedge Reviews

The Late 90's and early 2000's had a string of Great animated Movies - Toy Story, Shrek, Finding Nemo, Ice Age, Shark Tale, and The Incredibles among others. However, Starting last year with Madagascar and continuing this year with Ice Age 2 and now Over the Hedge - there is a trend to mediocrity. The Main problem with Over the Hedge is that it is just not very funny - and the scenes that are funny are pretty much copies of other animated movies. I do have to say the sound sysyem in the theater I was in was terrible, so I couldn't here that well - but I don't think I missed much. Kids will like this movie because there is some funny physical comedy, but there is non of the wry in jokes that made the earlier movies fun for adults. For adults I would recomend skiping this movie, turning on your TV and watching The Simpsons or Family Guy instead - They are both far funnier.
