Over the Hedge | comment |
Over the Hedge is a 2006 film released by DreamWorks Animation and loosely based on the comic of the same name.It follows the adventure of a handful of woodland animals: a turtle named Verne; a raccoon, RJ; and Hammy, a squirrel are a few of them. The animals have to deal with their home being turned into suburbs. The film stars Bruce Willis as RJ, Steve Carell as Hammy, and Garry Shandling as Verne. The plot of the movie involves Verne and the others as RJ gives them their first introduction to the neighborhood that has been constructed around their home, accidentally taking over Verne's role as leader. In truth, he's just using them to gather food for a bear whose winter reserves he accidentally destroyed.Like many other animated movies of its time, it got its own video game adaptation. | |

Can't Kill You, Still Need You | |
Over the Hedge / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Invoked by RJ at the start of the film. To stop Vincent from killing him over the destruction of his food stash, RJ promises to replace everything and points out that "if you kill me, you'd have to do it!" Vincent concedes the point and gives RJ until the full moon to make good on his word, but tells him in no uncertain terms that if he fails or tries to escape, he will die. | |

Death from Above | |
Over the Hedge / int_1c398324 | comment |
Death from Above: Inverted. After the Depelter Turbo was activated with Gladys, Dwayne, and Vincent the Bear inside it, its activation results in a large light beam that shoots out of the atmosphere (taking out a passing satellite) and is visible from outside the Milky Way Galaxy, and the heat is hot enough to instantly create popcorn as well as burn the fur off Vincent. Played Straight with the fake commercial narrated by Dwayne. He calls the flamingo trap "Pink Death From Above". | |

Diabolus ex Machina | |
Over the Hedge / int_1e1aa82a | comment |
Diabolus ex Machina: Hilariously done. At one point, RJ, Verne, and the snack wagon are sent high in the air (It Makes Sense in Context) because they have rocketed up a slide by a propane tank - high enough to be seen by a passenger jet flying by at cruising altitude - and falling. Fortunately, there was an umbrella on the top, so they rode it down. While they do so, some chips fly out of their can. However, the snack wagon crashes onto Gladys's car so hard (coupled with the fact that the wagon has a propane tank) that it causes a fireball to erupt, which launches the chips back in the air. Not only do the chips impale the umbrella, the fire they picked up from the explosion burns the umbrella altogether, leaving them no choice but to fall back to earth. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Over the Hedge / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: A throwaway line from Tiger about his breed having such a flat muzzle that it can lead to trouble breathing. In his case, it's left him without a sense of smell. The Depelter Turbo has settings for mice, rabbits, raccoons, deer and bears. The last of these is how the hedgies finally defeat Vincent. RJ warned Hammy that the last thing he needed was caffeine. Guess what Hammy uses to activate the Depelter Turbo... After Verne first enters the suburbs, the camera at one point pans upwards to reveal the roofs of countless houses - floating above one of the houses is several large balloons that later carry Vincent away near the film's climax. | |

Ax-Crazy: Gladys. Is willing to risk arrest to kill a small group of animals, demands that they be killed as inhumanely as possible, and starts resisting arrest when she's arrested for something that the exterminator had warned her was illegal and seems to be extremely surprised that she's being detained at all. Sounds like someone too dumb to think clearly. | |

Cookies for Hammy. After RJ introduces him to one and then throws it on the roof, Hammy gets distracted trying to get it at two points in the film. The first time, RJ uses a laser pointer to redirect him. The second, he successfully gets it after he takes the opportunity to grab it during his Time Stands Still stint. | |

Kick the Dog | |
Over the Hedge / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Gladys does this to the Hedgies three times: When she first encounters the gang on her patio, she attempts to whack them with a broom. Gladys does it again later when she kicks Heather down the stairs in her house and into a wall, fooling even Ozzie into thinking she had been killed. Her cherry on top is when Dwayne offers to deal with the captured animals humanely, Gladys insists she wants the animals exterminated as inhumanely as possible. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Over the Hedge / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: When things go bad for RJ, he goes into a planning monologue, just like John McClane does all the time. When RJ escapes the house with a cart of goodies including a beach umbrella and a propane tank and is chased by the dog, the resulting disaster leaves RJ performing the classic John McClane 'ejection seat' move from Die Hard 2, down to the camera angle. Hudson Hawk as a raccoon. Ozzy is an overacting Large Ham when it comes to playing dead. Did we mention he's voiced by William Shatner? Hammy suggests that they name the hedge Steve, which was a rather cute nod to his voice actor Steve Carell. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
Over the Hedge / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: When you stop and think about it, RJ's plan to con the Hedgies into helping him assemble Vincent's shopping list is unnecessarily complicated; even if it works, how is he then supposed to take the food to Vincent, given he's been tricking the Hedgies into believing it's theirs? Whilst RJ admittedly couldn't have trusted (or at least brought himself to trust) that they would just help him out of pure generosity, he still could have been honest about his needs and cut a deal: they help him appease Vincent, and he teaches them the secrets to urban foraging. After all, they need his skills; their woodland home is literally a fraction of the size it was, so if they don't want to starve, they have to venture into the strange new world of suburbia, which the family subtly acknowledges by showing how Verne's efforts to forage in their shrunken home pay pathetic dividends. The film even lampshades this trope when the Hedgies return to their home after RJ rescues them towards the finale, with Verne telling RJ that they would have given him the food if he'd been honest and told them it was to pay off a murderous bear. RJ even admits he should have thought of that first. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
Over the Hedge / int_4781adbb | comment |
Verne, for that matter. Half of the problems experienced after RJ joins the group of animals is caused by Verne's condescending sense of knowing better than anyone else around him, and his refusal to listen to anyone because his "tail is tingling". He too turns out to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and, after some Character Development, eventually steps down and lets RJ take over as The Leader of their group. | |

The Stinger: The Hedgies go back to the vending machine RJ was raiding at the start of the film to get more food for the log. They get all the snacks this time...which is unfortunately enough to block the slot. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: Whenever the Depelter Turbo is activated. When Dwyane tests the trap on a teddy bear, we only see the horrified look on RJ's face as the toy is burnt and caged. Later when Gladys, Dwayne and Vincent accidentally trigger it, the view cuts to the Hedgies watching their defeat play out. | |

Fast-Food Nation: Vincent's entire stash is composed of junk food, with Pringles expy Spuddies regarded as the epitome of foodstuffs. When RJ the raccoon has to replenish this stockpile, he and his friends raid human suburbs, where junk food seems to be their sole staple. In particular, RJ's monologue about the humans towards the beginning of the film is a satire of American consumerism. | |

Affably Evil: Dwayne, to an extent. While he's an exterminator who uses illegal and extremely painful-looking lethal traps and devices to kill animals, not only is he a very jolly person but, when he captures the animals alive, he intends to humanely put them to sleep. And although Gladys insists it be done as inhumanely as possible, there's no indication Dwayne intends to do as she says. Of course, he still wants to kill them, humanely or not. | |

Oblivious Guilt Slinging | |
Over the Hedge / int_83a8d697 | comment |
Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Whilst watching television channels with the other animals as a loving family, each channel shows a dramatic scene where someone reacts to another's betrayal badly. RJ feels uncomfortable at imagining this is how his new-found family will react if they knew he was exploiting them. It doesn't help when the last channel has a Dr. Phil-esque host who says "If you feel like a dirtbag, it's because you are a dirtbag." | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Where is El Rancho Camelot? It has just generic shots from space that show it's somewhere near the Great Lakes, in Indiana, right around Terre Haute, but aside from that, there are no defining traits anywhere.

Villainous Breakdown | |
Over the Hedge / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: All three antagonists go through this, especially during the climax: Vincent's sanity goes off the edge when RJ destroys the party food supply he and the animals gathered, turning into a feral beast, a far cry from his first appearance. Whatever mind Gladys had was gone the second the exterminator van crashed into her house. Her willingness to use a weed-hacker to kill the animals further cements this trope. (Although, the animals' interference in various parts has dealt blows to her sanity as well). While not as severe as the top two, Dwyane does use a cattle prod to get the animals back, indicating he's gone a little off the deep end. | |

RJ when Vincent grabs him out of the tree he's sleeping in and realizes Vincent is about to kill him. Luckily for him, it was All Just a Dream. Verne when he's hiding under a car and sees Dwayne get out of the Verminator van. A fair few of them one after the other later. RJ when he goes to the log and finds it empty. Then when he falls on Nugent's chain while fighting with Verne over the wagon. Again when Verne steps on a squeaky toy and Nugent appears. A fourth time when the doll he's hiding behind snags on a stick and it says "Let's play!", alerting Nugent to his presence. When the burning chips burn RJ and Verne's umbrella, they frantically try to blow out the flames, only for the umbrella to burn to a crisp. Then Verne glares at RJ as both are about to plummet several meters from the sky. Gladys when she comes across Stella in the kitchen, seconds before Stella lets loose her stink. And finally, there's Dwayne's reaction when he realizes that the Depelter Turbo is about to go off with him, Gladys, and Vincent all on the receiving end. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
Over the Hedge / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Vincent thinks this of RJ, saying he hopes RJ isn't dumb enough to try and steal from him. It's actually a subversion, though; RJ knows it's a bad idea, but he's just that desperate. When two girl scouts believe Hammy has rabies, they decide to attack him, which is the exact opposite of what their guidebook instructed (try not to panic, get away from the animal and inform an adult immediately). This is a good way to get bitten by an animal, rabid or otherwise. Despite already being clearly hidden by Gladys while raiding her house, Heather decides to jump out in front of her and copy her dad's Playing Possum routine. She gets kicked down the stairs, but to Ozzie's relief, she was faking death, having learned from the best. | |

Girl Scouts Are Evil: Downplayed. RJ gets Hammy to act rabid in hopes of scaring off two girl scouts and stealing their cookies, but they end up attacking the poor squirrel instead. Only when Verne intervenes does the plan work. | |

Removable Shell: Verne loses his three times, the first by getting thrown out of a street cleaner, the second by falling off a tree with RJ holding it, and finally when Hammy, under a caffeine-induced FTL frenzy, takes it off to protect RJ from being chomped apart by Vincent. Also, Bucky and Spike steal it and play Monkey in the Middle with it in the credits. | |

Both Sides Have a Point: Verne tries telling the Hedgies that RJ is just using them, leading them to danger and taking back the food because the humans (mostly Gladys and Dwayne) are trying to kill them. The Hedgies pointed out that they worked hard on getting the food with RJ's help and how RJ helped them get used to the Suburb and discover new things. | |

Shout-Out | |
Over the Hedge / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Stella runs away from her new cat friend, Tiger, he shouts "STELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" in a reference to A Streetcar Named Desire. Is it possible that the makeover scene got Stella her groove back? Ozzie's over-the-top playing dead scene finally ends with him whispering "Rosebud" before collapsing. Dwayne LaFontant identifies himself with The Terminator. Too bad he's fat, middle-aged, and balding. Dwayne LaFontant's name is one to the late Don "Movie Trailer Voice" LaFontaine. Auto Homicide III You know the column of light at the end which appears when the exterminator's machine backfires on its creator? Looks like The Fifth Element, another movie including Bruce Willis. That mask◊ they put on Vincent before they cart him off looks extremely familiar... Stella (a skunk) and Tiger (a cat)'s Interspecies Romance can be a bit similar to that of an inverse, Gender Flipped, more consensual version of Pepé Le Pew. | |

And then when she's arrested, she starts fighting the police officers, getting herself in even more trouble, since now the cops can add resisting arrest to all the criminal charges she'll be facing, which might also include animal cruelty note Dwayne did offer to deal with the animals humanely, but she insisted on them being killed in "the most inhumane way possible".. | |

Jerkass | |
Over the Hedge / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: RJ. The filmmakers had a difficult time making RJ deserving of sympathy, even revising or adding scenes just to make him less of a jerk. Even Vincent called RJ's major jerk move "the most vicious, deceitful, self-serving thing [he'd] ever seen". However, at the end of the movie, he turns out to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Verne, for that matter. Half of the problems experienced after RJ joins the group of animals is caused by Verne's condescending sense of knowing better than anyone else around him, and his refusal to listen to anyone because his "tail is tingling". He too turns out to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and, after some Character Development, eventually steps down and lets RJ take over as The Leader of their group. | |

Over the Hedge / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Played DEADLY STRAIGHT with THX. And they're not even trying to be subtle. Subverted with the fact that the producers wanted them to be Pringles, but the Pringles company declined to allow their snack to be in the film. Hence, "Spuddies" were born. A trailer shows they were at one point going to be called "Jingles" (with the red can of Pringles Original, along with the Pringles face with a jester's hat). The chip that RJ shows to the group is unmistakably Dorito-shaped. Also subverted with the inclusion of a Hewlett-Packard printer and camera. Even though DreamWorks Animation has had a partnership with HP since 2002 that allows their technology to be used to complete DWA's films, the HP products depicted here are branded as "Hip" ones instead. | |

Brick Joke: At the start of the film, Hammy says he buried some nuts in the woods and runs off to find them. At the end of the film, he finds them... and there were apparently enough to fill the whole log. Also, the cookie that RJ says is junk, but Hammy wants. Hammy can pick it up during his FTL jaunt. RJ initially gets into the animals' good books by claiming that he lost his family in a tragic weed hacker incident which he made up. Come to the climax of the film, Gladys is brandishing an actual weed hacker. | |

Evil Is Petty: When Vincent orders RJ to replace the stuff he got destroyed, he implies RJ has to get him a blue cooler, and it has to be blue. Same with the wagon, which has to be red. | |

The Corrupter: RJ gets the group to be addicted to human food, especially junk food. If The Stinger is any indication, they still crave junk food. | |

Buffy Speak: Heather: Dwayne in a fake commercial. He calls one of the traps the "Choppy Knifey Slicy Thing." | |

Her cherry on top is when Dwayne offers to deal with the captured animals humanely, Gladys insists she wants the animals exterminated as inhumanely as possible. | |
