About In the Oregon wilderness, a real estate developer's new housing subdivision faces a unique group of protesters, local woodland creatures who don't want their homes disturbed. Fraser plays the cutthroat real estate developer. The animals have other ideas about this plan and prove to be a tough match.

My 5 cents This seems feels familiar, not that its was a previously delisted stock (Oct 08) but the actual story has been done and I believe kids now days are smart enough to realise this and with the more original kiddie flicks out there this looks to be dud, again. Comparisons are Over the Hedge, Open Season and a thousand more I could name but choose not to due to time constraints. Fraser is family friendly and has recently had two summer hits a better choice than previous attached Steve Carrell however director Kumble is more known for his romantic comedies. Previously with New Line now Summit Entertainment....

Recommendation Short, its not the cast that count but the characters in kiddie flicks so don't expect big names to support Fraser. If it does start filming in the summer and sticks with a 2010 release could be a good pick up later.
