*Over The Hedge* is ABSOLUTE MAYHEM!! | First Time Watching | reaction/review

[@mswitch936]

The fact that Dreamworks is so family oriented but has so many adult jokes in them makes these movies so hilarious as a parent. I loved this movie as a kid but as an adult… still so much fun

[@kaya3599]

Yes, I have been re-watching their cartoons year after year since I was a child, it was like going on a quest. With each year of growing up, I found either new jokes or a new meaning to an old joke😅

[@GreatgunYu]

My parents would sometimes watch this movie with me as a kid. I remember them really enjoying it.

[@saltymisfit6566]

"Wanna help me find my nuts" kills me everytime

[@realPrettySarah]

Can’t have a family without adult parents

[@sabertoothno34]

That is what makes it a FAMILY oriented movie, there are jokes for the kids and their parents to enjoy. So many movies today only focus on KID oriented stuff that they lack any jokes above toilet/slapstick humor. It's partly why we have so many parents who'll just put a screen in their kid's faces and leave, how do you expect parents to enjoy something so obnoxious.

[@quieness]

"The most unrealistic* thing about it was the amount of chips in that bag" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOORD brother, wooooord

[@NewsofPE]

I mean, at the time that's the amount of chips we had

[@egranger2128]

Home owner associations are complete nightmares for a lot of people here in America. They’re usually depicted as Karen’s that are always harrass people and over the top. Of course not all of them are like that, but it was cathartic to see this one get her house blown up lol.

[@hasicazulatv2078]

Satisfying to see. 😂

[@wastelandlegocheem]

Dude an HOA demanded a man give them shit, let them in his hkme anytime they demanded, and chop down his family trees. They chopped them down illegally. The trees were irreplaceable. The lesson? DO. NOT TOUCH. TREES. THAT. CANNOT. GROW. IN. CHANGED. ENVIRONMENTS WHEN THEY BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE. TREE LAW IS AMAZING

[@GirlYouDontKnow-rx3lm]

Yes! Gladys deserved everything she got in this film.

[@daneberry7217]

"but I like the cookie" is one of my most quoted movie lines of all time. It has stayed with me since this movie was released 😂

[@sathvamp1]

YESSSS my mom says that all the time now! :D

[@Brainstormer_Industires]

36:57 - This movie came out WAY before any of the Flash/Quicksliver scenes in any of the superhero movies "Over the Hedge" released in 2006 The famous "time in a bottle" scene from X-men with Quicksilver was 2014.

[@fightingfaerie]

Yup. OTH did it first. X-men copied Over the Hedge lol

[@ItApproaches]

The Flash has been around a LONG time, the comics did it long ago.

[@Brainstormer_Industires]

@@ItApproaches in comics, everything is always a still frame. The director/artistic choice to show superspeed as someone moving at normal speed while essentially frozen in time is specific to video storytelling. Can't "slow mo" the background characters in a panel illustration

[@Brainstormer_Industires]

@@fightingfaerie There's actually a Futurama scene that predates this by like 2 years, I think. So they're actually not first, but well before it became a trope. It's actually crazy the parallels between the Futurama from 2003 and the scene in X-men in 2016 with a super speedster saving everyone in a fire/explosion

[@ItApproaches]

@@Brainstormer_Industires It can be described and you can actually show slow mo in picture form. Just gotta get creative.

[@twylanaythias]

In the behind-the-scenes commentary, they were concerned about the bit with Hyper-Hammy - thinking that kids wouldn't understand the bit. Needless to say, they were pleasantly surprised when kids in the test audiences had to explain to their parents how the energy drink made Hammy so hyper that time seemed to stop for him.

[@Heroshii15]

I now feel dumb, because it was vice-versa for me when seeing this with my mom.

[@multiverseman4017]

For those who don't know, this movie was actually based on a comic strip that was also called "Over the Hedge". The strip's art is seen during the credits of this movie.

[@sarahstardust]

I used to read it in the newspaper! The movie feels like a prequel to the comics as the animals are used to living in the suburbs in the comics.

[@wildfloraa]

that's so cool! I'll have to look it up now :D

[@Star-essedOut]

Nah, she's an HOA president, she deserves EVERY bit of this 😂😂

[@Galiant2010]

Everything else was just showing her being a typical HOA president Karen. But the part that solidified, for me, that she was evil was the part when the exterminator caught them and she demanded that they be disposed of as INhumanely as possible.

[@wastelandlegocheem]

Thankfully californians dont gotta deel with that 😂

[@summerrose8110]

​​@@Galiant2010I wouldn't call her evil, just mildly annoying. She needs to fix her attitude and get a therapist.

[@moneylover318]

​​@summerrose8110 Apparently she makes her whole living off being the President. So yeah she deserves everything that happens to her

[@jacksonkerr2095]

5:40 - So the "Over the Hedge" bit serves two purposes - introducing the contrast between the wild and the civilized places, and referring to the comic strip on which the movie was based. It was started back in 1995.

[@JUMPYCOOL]

11:15 For some reason Bruce Willis screaming “FOOD!” always gets me!

[@TeenoMotz]

"I can talk, I'm just driving" and "slowly losing the ability to walk" are such quotable lines, my family uses them all the time 😆

[@ChefGamrLafs]

Every day you upload a movie reaction I say out loud: "*YOU HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT!?!?*"

[@ryanking8227]

Other Dreamworks recommendations: Road to El Dorado and Sinbad: legend of the 7 seas

[@HappyHarvestHomestead]

Yes please!

[@warriormaiden9829]

Adding my vote to both of these!!

[@Ryne_Barrow]

I swear Hammy is my spirit animal. I want MY COOKIES!!!

[@josh_miester_x511]

Fun fact: the bee that Hammy shakes is referenced in film Bee Movie, at the begining, when the main character Barry is talking to his buddy about a funeral.

[@evanrosman9226]

"But this house is like a fortress. Walls, so high. Doors, impenetrable. How will we get in?"

[@abucket14]

As someone who has had Great Danes, various Shepards, and Mastiffs my whole life; that dog only caring about playing and breaking easily through fences is spiritually accurate, if not literally.

[@EmceePinks]

This is a great reaction to Over the Hedge! Your observations about the characters and their individual traits really enhanced my enjoyment of the film. You're right, RJ's character arc is a highlight, going from a loner who envied the bear's possessions to someone who understands the value of family and sacrifice. The scene where he sees the bear as simply lonely instead of successful is a turning point in his development. I especially enjoyed your point about how the movie blends heartwarming messages with over-the-top humor. The juxtaposition of a simple message about family with scenes like the exploding rocket of food makes it entertaining for all ages. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I agree that DreamWorks did an excellent job with this movie, and I appreciate you sharing your perspective.

[@rockon4853]

Raccoons eat fruits, nuts, insects, small animals, and fish. They are omnivores.

[@wastelandlegocheem]

Everyting

[@Gamebuster4844-s4g]

A fact about turtles is that they actual can't have their shell come off their body and if removed it really hurts them.

[@Lokear]

It's attached to their spine, actually, so it'd be worse than "really hurting them".

[@Gamebuster4844-s4g]

@@Lokear I just said it in way doesn't sound really graphic.

[@Lokear]

@@Gamebuster4844-s4g Fair, but I do feel like it's better to be more accurate for that, even if it's graphic, for the turtles' sake.

[@stephen01king]

​@@Lokear Let's make it more graphic by mentioning that it's not just attached to their spine, it is made up of their spine and rib cage that fused together with hardened skin. Basically, the shell IS their body.

[@salvadormendoza8535]

what about a hermit turtle?

[@artloveranimation]

Going by the release dates of the films, I am pretty sure "Over the Hedge" came before the X-Men movie with the Quicksilver scene

[@eh9317]

On the CD of this movie there is a mini game with Hammy in the backyard with the trap.. man I played the shit out of that as a kid. Good memories. And the soundtrack still holds up, I love Ben Folds

[@moneylover318]

I miss when dvds would have games on them

[@carriemilito2851]

The possum that keeps keeling over, pretending to die, is voiced by William Shatner.

[@GreatgunYu]

And the possum’s daughter is voiced by Avril Lavigne. It really reminds me that this movie came out in the 2000s.

[@GirlYouDontKnow-rx3lm]

Honestly, no other actor could possibly pull off such a character better than Shatner.

[@FWIIAN]

OVER THE HEDGE MENTIONED i was chronically obsessed with this movie and Valiant growing up!!! Played them both on repeat i can basically rewatch them in my head whenever lol!!!

[@-12Sided]

The cast for this movie is legendary. Everyone feels so well casted. Especially Steve Carell as the fast talking zippy squirrel, Bruce Willis (despite not being well known for voice acting) is also super underrated as the lead in this movie, and Garry Shandling as a turtle loll

[@PassTheMarmalade1957]

Bruce Willis honestly did amazing here. He's not even "doing a voice," and yet I never once saw RJ as just Bruce Willis in a booth with a microphone.

[@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF]

to answer your question posed early in the video: raccoons are opportunistic, omnivorous scavengers. so they eat the leftovers of other animals' kills, they eat wild growing fruit, berries, nuts, etc., and occasionally they'll catch fish, crabs, and other small critters both on land and in the water for themselves. but yeah, thanks to deforestation and urbanization any raccoon that lives near a town or city probably lives primarily off human waste. :/

[@actuallysanna4780]

One good thing about staying up late is getting to be there right on the spot when you post again. And also i absolutely loved this movie as a child

[@Khiara]

real

[@lucindathefaithful7599]

This is one of my favorite Dreamworks movies!! It’s so underrated and one of my absolute favorites as a kid!! It’s still so good to this day!

[@Mikayla_DeAnne]

I love this movie and think it's insanely underrated! I love all the animal characters but Hammy is another level of loved! He's so much fun, adorable, and relatable 😂 Love the acting for him and everyone else. The actors did amazing voice work

[@HexalianRebelAgent]

The soundtrack for this movie was a fair chunk of my childhood. >w< I still keep most of Ben Folds' tracks in my playlists.

[@kylem519]

over the hedge!!! havent seen in so long but i remember loving it as a kid. i was telling my friend about how a opossum stared me down in the street on my way home one night and we immediately started talking about the only things we really know about them is from this movie😂😂

[@Gregory.19037]

22:01 to 23:51 is my most favourite part of the whole film 😂😂😂 plus the fact that's it's been nearly 20 years since this came out

[@sweetart0811]

I watched this movie with the other girls on my floor in university, and when it got to the scene with Hammy and the energy drink, we just lost it. Still one of my favourite scenes to this day. :D

[@aquapuppy9838]

"What do raccoons usually survive on?" "Human rubbish." "...Besides human rubbish." Oh.

[@terezakostacka3572]

The fact that Hammy is ADHD coded, and he gets so hurt by Verne saying that they're stupid hit hard as a neurodivergent person myself.

[@ninipookie]

Love that you react to animated movies. Can we get a reaction video for Ron’s Gone Wrong. I’m not much into animated movies but I loved this one and had such a heartwarming story

[@sallytheuselessbird]

Asking for surfs up again, one of the most unique and genuine animated movies ever made :)

[@obbleonthewobble7194]

I second this!!

[@PikminandOatchi]

R.I.P Garry Shandling (Verne)

[@originalgaige5619]

This was my "feel good / help me sleep" movie as a kid. I would just have it on in the background for whatever I was doing all the time.

[@bidwell13]

32:46 that’s a play on the movie & play “Streetcar Named Desire”. The part yelling “Stella” has been used in some tv shows when the actors are trying out for the play. 35:10 no it said “a legal u-turn”. 36:53 my daughter loves this scene. She cracks up laughing everytime she sees it. Especially the cookie part.

[@mendenhall0239]

I'd totally recommend you watch Open Season if you haven't before, it's another movie about animals, and it's always been a total classic for me.

[@fuzytaco6]

This movie has an amazing Play Station 2 game. So many mini games and a great storyline.

[@wastelandlegocheem]

DUDE one of the best lisensed games. And i dont let nastalgia cloud my judgement normally

[@Ceira_OwO]

I still own the DVD for this movie and it's one of my favorites from my childhood. Quick note it was confirmed that the quicksilver scene was inspired from this movie, just shows how goated this movie is

[@danilodesouza6461]

Hey, Oscar, so I know spring just began for us in the Southern Hemisphere, but it's the perfect time to watch "Over The Garden Wall". That is, if you haven't already.

[@R3b3k3h]

I think you would absolutely love The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Ben Stiller!!

[@ryanking8227]

Have not seen this film in years

[@DieselWeasel]

Fun fact: The dog was originally meant to be vicious, but it was deemed too scary, so they made him a goofball that wanted to play instead. Also, the GPS said, "make a legal U-turn".

[@MrTragedious986]

This one is my jam including the video game as well. I hope you do Madagascar.

[@wastelandlegocheem]

Yoooo rhe game is unironically one of the best listensed ones

[@bellidrael7457]

I remember watching this movie with my family, specifically my father. It was one of those movies where we were laughing so hard we had to pause it more than once just to calm down before continuing. Those were good days.

[@16taysia]

You can't say that Hammy isn't ADHD coded! 🤣🤣🤣

[@adamyilmaz9531]

Such an underrated gem this movie is! We definitely need a reaction to Chicken run! That film is a cult classic here in jolly ol' England haha 🤣🤣👌🔥💯😎

[@jaymieberry]

I played this over and over when I had the DVD as a little children. Great reaction and Aloha from Hawaii! 🌺

[@marktegrotenhuis]

I remember watching this. Hammy on energy drinks is one of the best parts. So fast it looks like the world stands still.

[@ivygirl5798]

If you liked this, I think you would love Hoodwinked. It's a whodunit with fairy tale characters and it's hilarious and goofy and brilliant.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

I just started feeding a raccoon, Roxy, and her 3 babies. And a possum, Blossom, and her 2 babies. So cute!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This was one of my favorite movies growing up and im so excited to watch your reaction to this! My favorite food has always been cookies so my favorite character was always Hammy 🐿️

If you haven’t seen it yet, I HIGHLY recommend watching Shark Tale. It’s a family favorite in my house. Doesn’t matter how many times we’ve watched it

[@campeonboxeo84]

This movie is a hidden gem, with a great voice cast. I randomly rented this movie from Blockbusters years ago and I laughed so much to this film. Happy to see you’ve gotten to watch and enjoy this amazing anime 🙂 Cheers mate!

Thank you for reacting to this! I’ve had a pretty rough week! This movie has always been my comfort movie for as long as I can remember. Keep up the good work with your content!

[@josedontworryboutit3719]

They had a band do an all original soundtrack for the movie its personally one of my favorite aspects of the movie

[@iKvetch558]

YESSS! So happy to see reactions to this movie. It is so underrated and definitely not seen by enough people. I hope your video starts a trend of people checking this amazing movie out.💯😁

[@Flash33c]

One of my all-time favorite movies that still holds up today. Some fun facts: *A sequel movie was planned but scrapped due to the movie not performing that well at the box office, and Dreamworks could lose money if the sequel failed to perform as well as the first, so if you want a sequel then play the movie tie-in game on PS2. *There's a post-credits scene of the gang at the vending machine from the start. They manage to get all the items to fall but are unable to actually collect any of them due to the door being stuck. *Included with the DVD is the short "Hammy's Boomerang Adventure" which is also hilarious. The full short is up on KZbin thankfully so you can still watch it if you don't have the DVD. *The crew brought in actual animals to reference while making the film. They had some models done before then but after seeing the irl ones they went back and redid the models to be more accurate.

[@dcemerald70]

This is such an underrated gem. I think my fav moment is Vince and RJ falling down with the umbrella ; “You’re the Devil.” Some other underrated films I must recommend are ANTZ, The Prince of Egypt, Joseph: King of Dreams, We’re Back! A Dinosaur Story, Pete’s Dragon (1977), The Borrowers (1997), Monkey Trouble, Alaska (1996), Born To Be Wild (1995), Zeus and Roxanne, and Flipper (1996) 🐢🦝☂️🔥😈😂

Actually, she was behaving like a typical President of a homeowner's association, and most people hate them. Doesn't justify destroying her house, but she is far from just rude.

19:15 I was ecstatic when I found out the voice was Thomas Hayden Church (Sandman from Spider Man 3)

[@trevorbarker6695]

I love it when Hammy says but I like the cookie, it makes me laugh all the time and I say the same thing in that expression😂😂

[@jalaxysgalaxies1298]

Immediately clicked the moment I saw it! Great movie and a great KZbinr! Edit: It was also late at night and I lost track of time. Still managed to get good sleep though, just a little later than usual XD.

[@CyberBlastoise]

I used to own a DS game of this movie, which did something I feel is unique for games like it, instead of it being a recreation of the movie, it was a direct sequel to the events that took place. Long story short, HOA president returns to the neighborhood and plans to bulldoze down the rest of the forest, so the animals have to convince endangered species to move in so it'll be protected, all the while still stealing food because they still need it for the next year.

[@DonMachado]

38:05 - After the skybeam, for the 'bear trap' shutting down they used the sound effect of the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon failing from The Empire Strikes Back.

[@sararose8879]

[@cynxmanga]

The songs are amazing for this movie and I think they were specifically written for the plot (just like it's often done for anime)

[@batoby]

the title of this movie reminded me to recommend you "over the garden wall" if you haven't seen it yet! it's perfect for fall/halloween and very binge worthy:D it is 10 episodes, all 11 minutes long. (i dont know if you take recommendations from yt comments but i think you'd really enjoy it and the humor seems right up your alley!!)

[@hersonsantana3236]

I'm from Brazil and I love seeing your Oscar reactions, they're really good. I recommend you react to the movies Independence 1 and 2.

[@Tryforce8000]

As an adult living in Texas, it makes me laugh every time I hear the Verminator say the equipment is illegal in every state except Texas. We do be having lax codes over here. The joke would probably also work with Florida.
