Saw this movie a few days ago and it was fun. The animals are so cute, especially for the little spiked ones. What are those called? Porcupine! Apparently the movie is based on a comic strip by Michael Fry and T Lewis. In this comic, Verne, the turtle, even has a girlfriend named Velma. (For some reason, throughout the movie, I thought his name was Bern).

Not much to say here. The movie was cute and fun. Story’s about a cunning racoon who tries to steal a bear’s food and then the bear forces him to get everything back. He then finds this suburban city with little creatures and his master plot involves getting these little critters to help him steal the food back from the suburbanites.
However, story goes on, and racoon starts to have feelings and like these little critters and the story goes from there.
Also, it was a blatant advertisement for Pringles as “Spuddles” as it’s called in the movie resembles Pringles pretty much exactly with them saying the phrase “Enough is never enough.” multiple times.
There were also showing some comic strip at the end of the movie, but I personally wasn’t able to read it, but does anyone know what’s going on?
