To help put things in perspective, it was just two years prior in 2004 that Pixar would give us our first look at realistic human skin in The Incredibles using a process called ‘Sub Surface Scattering.’ And in June 2006, just one month after the release of Over the Hedge, we’d get our first look at realistic reflective surfaces in Cars using a process called ‘Ray Tracing.’ As you can see, there were important advancements still being made. It’s important to keep in mind while watching movies from over a decade ago, that technology wasn’t quite on the level that it is today, and filmmakers were still experimenting with what they could and couldn’t do on a computer. The film debuted in May 2006 and, for its time, was quite the technical achievement.
Now let’s take a look at the film adaptation. The strip offered a clever and comedic look at suburbia, so it was important to the filmmakers that they stay true to the unique wit and charm found in the comic. For those of you that are familiar with the film version, you’ll know that the filmmakers didn’t stray too far from this original premise. The premise of the comic was simply this: A raccoon, turtle, a squirrel, and their friends have to come to terms with their woodlands being taken over by suburbia, and are trying to survive the increasing flow of humanity and technology while becoming enticed by it at the same time. The strip, which debuted in 1995, was written and drawn by Michael Fry and T.
