BlackFilm notes that Nick Nolte, Catherine O’Hara, William Shatner, Steve Carell, Eugene Levy, Wanda Sykes and Avril Lavigne have joined the cast of DreamWorks’ animated comedy Over the Hedge.The plot for the computer animated flick is, “Bruce Willis will voice the mischievous con-artist raccoon R.J., and Garry Shandling will be the voice of the sensitive turtle named Verne. When R.J., Verne and their woodland friends find a suburban housing development encroaching on their forest home, Verne’s first instinct is to retreat into his shell and leave, but the ever-opportunistic R.J. sees a treasure trove to be had from his unsuspecting new neighbors. Together, Verne and R.J. form an unlikely friendship as they learn to co-exist with — and even exploit — this strange new world called suburbia.” Over the Hedge will open in theaters on May 19, 2006.
