We Reel Reels: Over the Hedge & Teamwork in the Wild 🐨🐼🐻 The Reels crew is back and ready to raid the suburbs! This week, we're diving into the 2006 animated classic, Over the Hedge (2006). Koala picks apart the film's animation and story, dissecting what makes this Dreamworks movie a memorable caper. Panda takes a deeper look at the theme of animal cooperation, explaining fascinating real-life examples of animals teaming up, including different symbiotic relationships like mutualism (where both benefit) and parasitism (where one benefits at the other's expense).
