Everyone knows that the best thing about this movie is Hammy drinking the Energy drink and going quicksilver mode before quicksilver did it
Nah the best part is the Verminator.
It’s not quicksilver, it’s Dio’s time stop
First came Justin Y.
Then came Christopher Moon
Now it's Healmore's time to Shine
What about when they shove a cork up Stella the skunk's ass?
If there was anyone that I chose to be the next big commenter, I’m glad it was someone that was repping Celeste.
Hammy: *slows down time*
Quicksilver: Write that down, write that down!
DIO: write that down,write that down!
@@smallbox4591 DIO did it before Hammy, though.
my brain when it's trying to think: Write that down, write that down!
Hammy walked so quicksilver could run
Futurama predated this one though.
I can’t express enough how good of a decision it was to have the camera almost always from the animals perspective, always facing up at humans. As a kid and even today it really makes you feel like one of them, experiencing the movie from their perspective
Yeah it's similar to Lady and the Tramp and how that film looks at things from the dog's perspective 🤔.
Similar to Antz as well except with Antz the humans seem more alien and mysterious
It's rather amazing how Over The Hedge uses casual threat of murder as both comedy and actual stake at the current problem.
I'm your 600th liker here & bye.
Wait a minute, I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact comment before today under a different video...
Fun Fact: Over the Hedge has been referenced in science. An aurora-like natural phenomenon was named STEVE in reference to the scene where the animals discover the hedge. STEVE is an acronym for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement and radiates a purple and green light. So, without Over the Hedge, we wouldn't have an aurora named Steve. Thanks, Dreamworks!
"Let's call it Steve!"
"Steve?"
"It's a pretty name.."
This is my favorite science fact
@@SkeweredGlaive oh great and powerful steve! *WADAYA WANT!!*
S T E V E A T E F E R N.
In the German version they used the name Hugo for this joke
This movie shows Karen as one of the main villain before Karen's were a thing it's officially subversive masterpiece
Exactly
Burina Mat true. I remember getting so pissed at her when I was younger when she kicked the teenage opossum, and I don’t even like them
Karens are ancient.
777th like
That's like megamind and incels
One of the many reasons I liked this as a child was how it portrayed humans. It being filmed from the viewpoint of the animals reminded me how I felt when adults were talking over me. It weirdly made me feel heard by mocking their self-importance. (I know kids were made fun of too, but the villains are adults).
ehhhhhh that's arguable, the villains were Karen (I forgot the name), Vincent and maybe the verminator.
@@bingus4436all adults
I think the funniest thing for me about the Hammy slowdown scene is that Hammy is shown to be hyperactive through the whole film and in this one instance he just calms down while everything is slown down.
He’s traveling faster than the speed of light.
Over the Hedge, like MegaMind, is so criminally underrated.
Megamind has been gettin a lot more love online lately
Pineapples specifically the meme community

James is lucky to get requests all the time, a lot of good CZcamsrs these days are running out of ideas quickly
i love how consistent this movie is. nearly everything is brought back up later. the geneva convention breaking lawn protection thing, verns tail tingles, the dog who _really_ wants to play with someone, etc. it's a small little touch that i personally really like and wished other movies did that
And hammy not being able to drink the energy drink until the end!
@@NormOfTheNorthFan21 yeah, the Caffeine. RJ warned him in the beginning of the movie when they first met about that drink.
Chekhov’s tail tingles
I'm quite surprised you didn't mention how scary Vincent is. RJ was having post-traumatic nightmares of Vincent hunting him down and the voice actor really helped make him sound quite intimidating. On top of all that, he's a bear and who isn't afraid of bears right?
Emmett.
Polar Bears, The White Death, and wolverines.
My name is Vincent 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Honey Badgers probably don't.
It's funny, whenever I watch a movie with Nick Nolte in it, my first reaction is "It's the bear from Over the Hedge!"
Shrek villains: A power hungry noble, an evil fairy and a genie-like figure that twists wishes
Kung Fu Panda villains: A spurned kung fu master, a heavily armed usurper prince, an undead warrior that collects souls
Over the Hedge villains: A loan shark bear, a pest terminator and a Karen

*Fun Fact:* If you look closely, the Bear in _Over The Hedge_ is actually the same bear from the court scene from _The Bee Movie._ Is this means that DreamWorks shared the same universe?
No... They just were too lazy to make another 3d model

You know how little kids pick one movie and rewatch it a million times?
This one was mine
Also the gross-out humor is done well. Everything exaggerated to insane levels and it's never the focus of the scene if it would otherwise last too long.
Same thing for me!

@@SmoothTurtle840 I thought combining it with the JoJo Reference was at least passing clever.
This is the most nostalgic animated movie to me. The artsyle, the Ben folds music, the suburbs, the focus on unhealthy snacks, so early 2000s.
FINALLY someone talks about the "Liar revealed" troupe, my absolutely most hated conflict trope
it's so unrealistically over-dramatic, like, every single one of these blow-outs I've seen in movies throughout my whole life could've been prevented if the offended party demanded their rightfully deserved explanation rather than storm away
heck, _I was in this situation in real life_ and it didn't play out like that
The liar revealed trope just got VERMINATED
The worst one being in the first kissing booth movie
Something that helps it is that Verne (the guy who's been most distrustful of RJ) is the one to convince them to trust RJ again. He seems like the kind of character who'd be most against him because he never trusted him, but he recognizes that RJ is trying to save them now. And as he smugly puts at the end of the film, if RJ had just told them he needed to steal a lot of food to stop a bear from eating him, they would've helped him out.
it isn't always bad it can be good if it's actually written well and doesn't have the characters abandon any and all logic for being overly emotional

It’s nice to see Over the Hedge finally getting the credit it deserves for inventing the quicksilver scene.
Futurama did it first tho
@@ivanagustinortiz5237 wait really? I had no clue.
@@georgeolund7572 Over the Hedge was released in 2006, the Futurama episode where Fry drinks a lot of coffee and saves everyone from fire was released in 2003

This message brought to you by Over The Hedge The Game for ps2
That was legit the only game I owned for PS2 and it was amazing (at least to my 7 year-old eyes, not sure how it holds up tbh).
That game was awesome and had a really good co-op system.
Loved the game
That was a game?
I found my old memory card and decided to finish the game, but I was literally up to the last level. So yeah, thought I was going to have an afternoon of completing the game XD
Fun fact: in Italian this film is called “the gang of the forest”
In portuguese it's "the forestless" as if the animals were homeless.
In Spanish it's "wild(like wild animals) neighbors
here in South America was something like "invading/invasive neighbors"
In russian its "Лесная братва" meaning "Forest gang" too. Shark tale was named "Подводная братва" meaning "Sea gang"

TBH, that's probably for the best
@@theofficialliedetector1545 have to agree, I can't see how they can make a sequel, and a good sequel, too, one which can compare and maybe even be better than the original. (Take Shrek 2 and Puss in Boots; The Last Wish for example.)

YOU JUST GOT VERMINATOR'D
I almost shat myself when you said "the Verminator", and then I thought back and remembered what a great villain he was. He was hilarious and so believable.
I think one of the biggest reason I really enjoyed Over the Hedge is because of the amount of visual comedy, which I will happily take over just boring stale audio jokes with a dead straight camera view of the characters
I sense you're trying to point something from something else as being bad.
Not arguing, just wondering what you're hinting at?
Big Joel’s analysis of Over the Hedge: “It’s a trash film that’s also a deep, metaphoric film about the division of class and races.”
Schaffrillas’s analysis of Over the Hedge: *”Haha, animal exterminator man in children’s movie does the funny.”*
Um... what? I thought it was about family? Where the hell did Big Joel get that from?
McGoldenblade Did you ever watch Big Joel’s video? Did you ever find out?
JOHN JOHN I didn’t. Was wondering if McGoldenblade ever figured it out
I thought this review was more directed at NC.

This film has major Mr. and Mrs. Smith energy. A film that harnesses all the tropes of its genre effectively in an entertaining way without trying too hard to be something grander than what it is
I think that Over the Hedge had probably a hard time avoiding product placements, also the parodies of the companies are killing me
I remember that in the director's commentary they said exactly this. No one would give them a license so they had to get creative with the names. They said it became a fun side project of the film.
@@TheRoonie222 cool
@@TheRoonie222I remember I typically have to make my own parodied or original companies in my stories because I do not like product placements. It’s really fun if you are creative, because you can come up with anything stupid and make it into a legit company.
@@TheRoonie222the food being a parody added so much to the movie and just made everything about it so much stronger

Did you look that up, or know it offhand?
There are so many moments in this movie that just took me out cold when I was a kid - the flying wagon, the car chase, "IT NEVER ENDS THERE TOO", the possum's monologue as he fakes his death on the road... And while there are many movie moments that I found insanely hilarious as a kid that I now look back on with a "yeah that wasn't actually very funny" kind of attitude, looking back on this movie I think it would actually hold up pretty well if I watched it today. Also, as far as I recall, it does manage to be pretty genuinely touching, and it combines genuine emotion with comedy in a great way (the romance between Stella the skunk and the house cat is one of the best I've ever seen and I WILL die on that hill)
Yeah pretty much

The small things 8 like about this movie:
I love the forshadowing of the Skunk and the cat romance at the beginning.
And i love how the dog is sample minded and just wanna play while the cat is Fulled with A sense of superiority
And i love how good the cat's pronunciation of Persian i'm not Persian i'm arabic and we use the same Letters
And i love the line "we eat to live but they live to eat" makes you think
This movie feels like a fever dream, but in a good way. Like, I still can't fully understand that this movie exists. It's amazing on a lot of points. I personally think it's one of Dreamworks's most typical films. It's creative and new, has a weird but believable plot, it's even better when you're older but the balance between kids and adults is really great and the cast, as said, is so amazing. Sometimes you just see stuff like this and you simply wonder "how?"
Well I have that here. It isn't Ratatouille indeed but it doesn't try to be. It tries to be over the hedge. Funny, smart, but not extremely emotional story. Just good and watchable
THE VERMINATOR IS IN THE MOVIE FOR A TOTAL OF 5 MINUTES AND 21 SECONDS

I wish Over the Hedge would continue as a TV series.
Megamind: don’t. I’m telling you don’t.
This movie made me a huge Ben Folds fan. The songs in this movie hit me hard as a kid and being an adult discovering Ben Folds for the first time again was like a nostalgic fever dream.
Okay but this movie really had me thinkin turtles could remove their shells whenever they pleased... Maybe I shouldn’t admit that.
ME TOO
Brynn McKenna thank goodness 😭😂
I thought that because of Mario ^^;
Wait a minute, THEY CAN'T???!!
@@transcendentalanarchy their spine is inside the shell (search for turtle anatomy) right under the shell in the middle. Which is why you shouldn't put much weight on the shell. Dogs that ride big turtles/tortoises are careful to not lie down and place their paws as far from each other as possible to not put their weight on the spine..!
The verminator is the best thing to happen to film history why aren’t we talking about him as much as we are about Shrek
That sniffing scene is just off this planet. Excellent character
You've just been verminated.
I'm happy to see that i am not the only one who think that this movie is so cool and enjoyable. Also, the Italian version is even more iconic because the title is literally: "the gang of the forest".

How do people not like this movie this is one of the best dreamworks movie ever
Fun fact, when this movie came out my mom took me to the theaters to see the original Cars movie. But when I saw the poster for Over the Hedge, I went "Mommy! Mommy! Can we see this movie instead? I want to see this movie instead!" Long story short, six-year-old me had better tastes than my adult mother.
Yeah. You had good taste. Kids eventually grow up from liking cartoon cars, trains, etc. Then they start having more varied iinterests like actual cars, superheroes, etc.
In fact, I still think that Cars is a movie for toddlers.
*Steel Beam* I really liked it as a kid and I have a lot of nostalgia for cars, so I like it :)
Cars was OK but I have to say that shrek was great, megamind was fab, over the hedge looks good and the bee movie is beautiful in my opinion
The Cars movies are just commercials to sell toys
To be fair, the original Cars movie wasn't bad...it's the sequels that turned it into a fetid, irredeemable turd.
"I'm gonna do Ratatouille next. Get excited."
Me: *OH, I WILL.*
Over the Hedge is better than Ratatouille
thehallowayboys incorrect
@@thehallowayboys Don't get me wrong, Over the Hedge is good. But Ratatouille is a freaking masterpiece
The amount of times I watched and re-watched Ratatouille as a kid before I went to Disneyland in France was insane.😅
Don't regret though!
ratatouille is the best Pixar movie by far imo
My middle school Spanish teacher only had two movies on dvd, Spy kids and Over the hedge, and she would play one of them every Friday during class. She never picked up where we left off, so I have seen the first hour of this movie dozens of times, and still only seen the ending once in theaters
Over the hedge and ratatouille are my all time favorite movies lol. Even as a teenager I love these movies and understand them so much more
I just realized that Meet the Robinsons is a move no one cares about? But why? *subtleness being subtle*
Thats so Sad! I love it!
Mario Odyssey
When I think back on the movie, I think the problem is that the sections in the future before the villain’s plan succeeds drags on a bit too much
Pretty decent film and New Believer is a Banger
i ADORE meet the robinsons. it’s one of my favorite animated movies ever :D
There are a lot of animated movies that could be accused of turning people into furries. This is most definitely not one of them.
I dunno that bear is pretty thicc with it
Speak for yourself, that bear is so thicc that my heterosexuality disappeared
But why do most think their such a bad thing? I could say so many things why their great people 👌🐾
Katsy Kat people see the bad and cringeworthy stuff and forget the rest exists
So to like 90% of people furries are just people that want to fuck animals
Which they aren’t but can’t ever fix that stain on the fandom lol
JoCaleb02 that’s not true. I mean, not too long ago people thought the anime fandom was super weird, but people changed their minds about that, so who’s to say that the same thing couldn’t happen about furries?
0:56 I didn’t know they were any haters of this movie out there. Jeremy from CinemaSins doesn’t count because he’s an asshole, not a critic
I know, Jeremy simply nitpicks stuff that honestly don't really matter. Unlike Schaff
I'm glad he mentioned Heist and how fucking hard it goes.
I think the problem with the "liar revealed" trend is purely the fact that it's been done sooooo many times, not just by dreamworks. Over The Hedge does it so right because the stakes are so high for RJ; he needs help to find enough food to feed a bear who literally threatens to KILL this helpless, lonely trash panda, so he lies to his new friends about helping them forage for food for the winter. There aren't many fictional pieces (that i've seen at least, so prove me wrong otherwise) that warrant the overuse of this plot point without the stakes being high enough to do it. Most of the time in modern animated films, it's done just to HAVE a twist with the main characters at all, which just signifies mediocre writing for the film at best. It honestly starts to feel fake, and that's why, no matter if it's good or bad, it's overdone, and overdone = bad apparently.
I'm not expressing distaste for the trope, but it's VERY noticeable how many times it's been done and at this point, there are alternatives.
This is a good comment and I agree with what you're saying. Unlike in other movies where the liar revealed trope is used,RJ's actual LIFE is on the line if he doesn't con these animals,which he over time grows to regret doing because he grows to like them. And to add on to the emotional gutpunch,Verne the character who was the most suspicious of RJ at the start,but grew to like him actually turned out to be correct with his first instinct. It also helps that the movie does a decent job of getting you to sympathize with both sides.
Verne's groups literally needs enough food to ride out the winter season so they don't starve and RJ needs the food so that the bear who's thumb's he's under doesn't kill him. In most movies with this trope it often does a poor job of this and often i wound up siding with the liar because I felt like the accusers were being unnecessarily harsh with the liar. Here,there are VALID reasons why the accusers are angry at RJ.
In all other movies the most the characters lose with the liar revealed trope is their peers respect.Which can work,but not in the way most kid movies do it and the result winds up being what is normally a pointless waste of time.
@@infinitedreamer9359 The ending where Verne points out they would have just given it to him if he had just pointed out the bear problem made things even more poignant, because it reveals how little RJ understood compassion and mutual aid because he never experienced those things. If they could gather enough food in a week or even a day, they obviously had more than enough at that point to pay off his debt, but he thought deception was necessary due to probably his only companion being a mafia boss bear and thus thinking backstabbing was the default. All that justifies the cast easily forgiving him at the end.
@@infinitedreamer9359 I like how much RJ seems to regret lying to them also. Not just after there's actual consequences that affect him personally, like in movies like Shark Tale, but all the way through the story. This helps the audience actually care about him, even more so than the fact that he's doing it for necessity rather than selfishness.
If you can’t do original, the. Just do standard well, their will be plenty of examples of it being both good and or bad.

"Didn't make enough money" -Katzenberg
> *made $340 million vs an $80 million budget*
You know what they say? "Enough just isn't enough!"
Production costs are not the only factors; you've also got marketing, paying the various distributors and movie theatres, and earning enough so that the budget for the next movie won't be too low
@@MorganKing95 All of those things (minus the sequel budget) are included with the initial budget. And a movie that made more than FOUR TIMES its budget should have enough for a sequel.

I loved this movie so much that I had the PS2 game for it and played it religiously. Which is also surprisingly good too as far as movie based games go! A thief broke into my house as a kid and stole my PS2 with that game still in it and I cried for literal hours.
I used to play Over the Hedge PS2 game whole day in 2008 with my younger brothers. I love that game. My favorite character to play is Hammy and Stella
I was hoping someone would mention the game 😁 yeah I remember finishing the story mode, and the multiplayer versus mode
What I love about Over the Hedge is that the movie setting perfectly depicted the mid 2000s culture. The mania of mcmansion subruba with white collar people buying a bunch of stuff they couldn't afford for it all to come crashing down a few years later in 2008.
Over The Hedge is known for its biting political commentary
Thanks Obama
It is certainly the best representative of 2000's animation I think. Just absurdly fun and chaotic, with a hints of deep meaning and insight.
Was gonna make this comment, you beat me to it. It just sums up 00s excess so well.
And to top it all off, a SmashMouth-esque soundtrack to really tie it all together.

The Over the Hedge game honestly might be one of the top 10 games I've put the most time into just because I would play it over and over again as a kid in the backroom of my parents' restaurant. I don't have it anymore but I wouldn't be surprised if I learned that I played like 100-150 hours of it.

I LOVE Over the hedge so much and I used to watch it all the time when I was younger and I still watch it from time to time ❤
Finally, this movie has deserved attention for the longest time, it's one of Dreamworks movies that just don't have the respect they deserve. Another prime example is El Dorado.
Yeah. That's true. My favorite film of all time is actually another underrated DreamWorks film.
Ya curious to know what it is?
@@adelastella.5676 Sure, lay it on me.
@@spartantnt1023 damn it must be big if it's taking this long
@@chrishansen1842 lol
I personally just need a "Why Spirit the stallion of cimarron is an underrated gem" and I'll be forever happy
I fully support this
That was my favourite movie as a kid. (I LOVED horses.)
F for Fox animation studios.
Yes! Why has this movie been forgotten??
HELL YEAH
Me watching this video: Huh, yeah I used to love this movie... I don't know how I feel about it now though-
4:03 "Look, people! PLAY WITH EM"
I now remember that line genuinely made me pause the film to laugh, maybe I had a weird sense of humour as a child but man did I love that line
As a young child, over the hedge was the first movie I expected to hate and I freakin’ loved it
When are we gonno talk about the best and most underrated blue sky film: Robots (2005)?!
you can shine no matter what your made of *says the movie that got mediocre reviews upon release and is so obscure that barely any pirating sites actually have it*
Eh
AHHHH MEMEORIES I STILL HAVE THE DVD OF THE MOVIE
funny fat robo
beegwild
One thing that I think is important about the "Liar revealed" storyline is the reason for the lie.
You mentioned the regret aspect but I think the reason is just as important.
The racoon here did it out of self preservation. Sure, he started it out of greed but he didnt take any more advantage of the lie than he had to.
He could have filled a second cart or something similar but he didn't. He only used them to save himself. Sure, he got himself into this mess because he couldnt hold back his greed at the start, but from the second he told the lie until the stories resolution he didnt take more advantage of the animals than he had to.
This makes him sympathetic, maybe not likeable, but at the very least I can understand the why.
Compare that to Shark Tale, where Wil Smith only told the lie, because he instantly got greedy. You might argue that he didn't choose the name at the beginning, but he got infatuated with the success so fast that I dont think there was a scene transition. We didnt get a moment where somone told him that they'd kill him, if he didnt take the name and made them rich, there was no self doubt. He could have shut down the entire thing at any time by just telling the truth but he didnt. This is why the trope doesnt work here. Not because the trope itself is bad, but because it made our main character unredeemably evil.
In conclusion. In over the hedge the trope works because there was a good reason to tell the lie and to keep it going. In Shark Tale it only existed to make our main character feel good and made him unlikeable.
This is very well reasoned and I agree with it, but how did you get that whole thing into a comment without the "Read more" prompt?
Another (Dreamworks) movie that does this well is the first How to Train Your Dragon.
(I'm not as articulate as Schaffrillas here, so bear with me)
Hiccup ends up in a lie when he begins using what he learns about dragons from spending time with Toothless in his dragon training lessons. He can't physically overpower a dragon (as shown in previous scenes), so when he finds ways to get around that (scaring off dragons with eels, mellowing them out with that grass, etc.) he uses those methods, and inadvertently becomes the star pupil. It's kind of a combination of self preservation, living up to the image of a Viking ("I just want to be like you guys"), and just switching over to a more effective way to deal with a large reptile that wants to kill you. And ultimately, the reason Hiccup lies about why he's suddenly so good at handling dragons is to keep Toothless safe, which is a much nobler reason for lying than just, "I'm an awesome s̶h̶a̶r̶k̶ ̶ dragon slayer!"
@@RoughlyArtistic wth you're right, maybe it's magic.
You're wrong. Will Smith fish only told the lie to intimidate the jellyfish hitmen and avoid getting killed by them, which was the reason he was taken to that wasteland in the first place. He wasn't thinking of becoming rich at that moment. It's not until the jellyfish start to spread the word to the media that Smith has no option than start lying to everyone as well.
The thing about Will Smith fish is that he is a dumbass. The movie makes it clear that he has no idea of what the hell he's doing, just making irrational decisions without thinking of the possible outcomes ( asking for money to a loan shark with mob connections, betting those 5000 on a rigged race despite the chances of getting killed if the horse loses, lying about killing a shark when there is an entire mafia made of sharks living nearby, etc )
RJ and verne are like Buzz and Woody from toy story. In finnish dubs they share their voice actors. So Schaffrillas is more right than he knew
ps: Kim and Ron; Katara and Sokka also share a voice actors.
The Verminator truly is the best character ever. He fucking rocks.
James: Over the Hedge was better than the Oscar nominees that year.
Me: Raises Pitchfork
James: I haven't seen Monster House in awhile.
Me: Lowers pitchfork
Yeah, I was getting ready to throw my phone at the wall before he acknowledged he hadn't seen Monster House in awhile.
same, i was about to turn off notifs, unsubscribe....
I don't get it, Monster House looked bad and the story was boring, you guys liked that movie?
pmd2 blalalaclvlcla
@@pismodude2 Everyone likes monster house
"Don't go back and watch Bee Movie"
Me: *cries in knowing almost the entire script for that movie because I've seen it so many times* Who will I share this knowledge with now?!
Ignore what he says and follow your own bliss. I am willing to stand by Bee movie an unironically being a good surreal movie. And the movie honestly has some great technology for animation, thanks to how hard they had to work with all of the bees.
years of academy training wasted
@@alwaysshit YES!
I found someone with a similar power!
(unless, you cheated)
I feel relieved that there's people who really like this movie!!
It was and it still is one of my favorites, i re watched it more times that i could even count, and i love it with all my little kid's heart, even if some people might think it is a bad movie, i never cared, i just cared that it had a lot of passion to it, the latin american dub was amazing and trully reflects their english-speaking traits and personality in a very accurate way, and i couldn't get enough of this guys having a little true family, despite everything.
What I really liked about the movie was how scenes with people were always taken from the animal's point of view usually from the ground to the up and also how they misunderstood some customs for being somehow connected to food or to it's importance, since they could not explain it any other way. It made me feel kinda alienated and really think about that there is so many things we humans do that are actually pretty meaningless.
This movie is completely batshit insane and embraces every second of it. It’s like Looney Tunes but everyone is on cocaine.
Madagascar 2 did that too, and would you look at that, a hidden gem.
This has the comedy style of that but focused on modern surburban life and I don't mind it at all, any comedy that KNOWS it's insane and embraces the insanity is great.
Nah, that would be a movie like Hotel Transylvania or Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. This is pretty laid back, apart from the ocassional chase scene
“Get real Kevin, when you feel like a dirt bag it’s because you’re a dirt bag, right? Just own it, Say it out loud, I am a dirt bag.”
Ok, I need to rewatch this movie. That was good.
"Dirt bag? I'm not sure that's a real doctor..."
@@rainbowsparkle122 “What do you think there, RJ? RJ?”
I bet Gladys Sharp would've been the main antagonist of Over The Hedge 2 if a sequel had been made.
This is one of my favorite movies and it's awesome.
"We must discuss the scene that singlehandedly changed cinema"
"He's going to talk about the Hammy speed scene isn't he"
10:00
Madagascar: "This is brilliant."
Over the Hedge: "But I *like* this."
"YOU MANIACS!"
Melman: can we go to the fun side now?
@@albedo5455 I Read That As Soon As He Said That
Verminator: “I'm not a bad person, I just have bad luck.”

We always have a choice. You had a choice when you had a choice.

Over the hedge is just the one. I can’t explain it but it just hits different looking back on it now.
One hour analysis on the Verminator make it happen
Schaffrillas: Humour is not based on misery towards others.
Doug Walker: That's not true! That's impossible!
The best humor is think about it how many actual good jokes. Require No missure there’s a few kinds but not a lot like subverting expectations And actually that’s about all
Is this comment based on the controversy in 2018?
Yes that is a gross misunderstanding of what humor is. NC says all humour is misery towards others. John Cleese once said that all humor is critical, and while criticism has the potential to cause misery (to the one being criticised); It doesn't have to.
It's funny to see Jerry beat up Tom because Tom is much bigger than him, *and trying to eat him.* It's classic David and Goliath. Same deal with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, Wile E Coyote and the Road Runner. Daffy plays both hero and villain depending on who he is up against, but the point is that the violence those characters inflict on each other is levying the same criticism; don't beat on those smaller than you. In those cases we only laugh at the misery of others if we feel they deserve it and misery is far from the only thing we laugh at.
@@Fangs1978 And even the idea that all humor is critical is a bit too broad. Monty Python had a lot of clever moments of critique, but there were also a lot of jokes that came from just simple absurdity, exaggeration, and the surprise of seeing something strange happen.
Isn't that the Nostalgia Critic?
Funner Fact: i had to watch this movie at least once every day while living in an r.v. for a year as my source of entertainment. still good tho
Over the Hedge was a gold nugget in kids entertainment. Something that never got tiresome with repeat viewings.
This movie feels like it should be watched in an rv, or camper of sorts.
I think my favorite convo in the whole movie is, after everything, RJ sarcastically asks what Vern and the crew would do if he just asked for all the food to give to the bear. And Vern earnestly answers, "We'd give it to you." Because family and stuff, and aaaaaaaaaa, that made my little child heart sing.
12:40 “Literally I could care less”
Me: *Goes into an entire 1 hour explanation about what you said wrong there.
In a small defense of Bug's life: the problem with the bird plan wasn't that it was a "liar's plan", it was that it came out it was Flick's (the main ant) plan. And Flick was considered the mad inventor whose inventions never worked, so everyone assumed that this plan, just like all the ones before it, would fail.
You can still claim it's a stupid reason for not using the bird, but it's less stupid than not using it because the guy who came up with it was a liar.
@Gaming_Master - I believe I said that. just, not AS stupid as the "it's a liar's plan" reason given in the video.
@@NeroCM It is true!!! But everyone was so optimistic that the bird was gonna work that they went as far as building it. Because of that, the fact that it was Flik’s and he lied to them about it shouldn’t have mattered anymore at this point. I love A Bugs Life (it’s actually my second favorite Pixar movie). But that scene in the movie always bothered me
Also, when Flick's lie is revealed, the ants could've assumed that Flick was unaware that the 'warriors' were ex-circus bugs and lied on accident (in context, Flick did find out that they weren't warriors after they tried to back out of protecting the ants, but he decided to keep it a secret in fear of retribution). Flick isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, so it could've been assumed that his lie was yet another slip-up.
@@ryanm.8720 Still. They shouldn’t have abandoned their plan of using the fake bird. It was kinda their only option at that point. Hopper will be arriving at any time now, there’s not enough time to collect more food. So the ants really got nothing left to loose at that point.
@@superjackster0165 I mean it was a wild plan though. Like imagine if someone told you that the only way to defeat some alien invader was to build a giant rocket, and you believe them because hey it sounds plausible and they're backed up by people claiming to be astrophysicists. Then it turns out no they're not, they haven't even been to college, they're just janitors the dude paid to act like scientists. Wouldn't you be mad? Wouldn't you be at least a bit more skeptical of the plan?
