neutral · AI labelView post →Over the Hedge is a movie that exists. "Hey Stocking how's college" oh it's great I drew Over the Hedge porn.
neutral · AI labelView post →Over The Hedge comm for @supereeveemaster.bsky.social i very much love this movie, thanks for commissioning these two 💞 #fanart #dreamworks #OverTheHedge
positive · AI labelView post →The DreamWorks movie Over the Hedge turns 20 in May. It was one of my favorite movies growing up and I wanted to commission artwork to celebrate the upcoming anniversary. Here is RJ, the main protagonist and one of my all-time favorite characters.
positive · AI labelView post →I mentioned the movie Over the Hedge to May and she said the animals probably go under the hedge in the story. The movie is again titled Over the Hedge. Over.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember how Avril Lavigne was in that early 2000s movie Over The Hedge as a teenage opossum and there are just a bunch of promotional pictures like this
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Catherine O'Hara. Most notable from Home Alone and Beetlejuice, she also voiced some critters you may have not realized. Penny the porcupine mom from Over the Hedge and the opossum mom Pinktail from The Wild Robot. And for the TF movie fans, a small bit as the moosette Kata in Brother Bear 2. 🫎

neutral · AI labelView post →People often confuse this with the movie Over The Hedge, which also had a hedge.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just thought of something earlier; Since I've read at least quite much of the original Over the Hedge comic strips, it got me thinking recently that most of the themes/charm/even casts in them were pretty much lost in the majority's consciousness bc of the Dreamworks movie...
neutral · AI labelView post →Was reaquainted with the movie, Over the Hedge on my flight, and it actually still holds up. 😂🦝🦨🐢
positive · AI labelView post →#Hoppers was a lovely movie! Pixar's answer to The Wild Robot/Over the Hedge but with its own unique & funny charm. Didn't cry but they tried. Definitely breaks their streak of awful movies for me (Elio, Elemental, IO2, Lightyear). More body swap than TF but still a lotta good ΘΔ vibes. #TFTuesday
neutral · AI labelView post →With developing an interest in opossums, I started thinking about any portrayals of opossums in stuff I watched as a kid. And then it dawned on me. Him. I watched Over the Hedge so many times on DVD as a kid.

neutral · AI labelView post →okay sure, i'll breach the subject how come nobody talks about the fact that not only is Over the Hedge a great movie but it's also a poignant anti-capitalist, anti-suburb, and anti-consumerism movie with one of the best original sound tracks ever LMAO www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WBV...
positive · AI labelView post →This movie is genuinely really funny. I don’t think it’s the funniest Dreamworks movie, I think that medal goes to Over the Hedge personally. But there were so many good bits. I think every character in this movie has a memorable line or a memorable bit. Not everything hits though, mostly BOB’s bits
neutral · AI labelView post →This morning I learned that the “Time in a Bottle” Quicksilver scene from X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) was lifted straight from the animated movie Over the Hedge (2006) and it blew my mind.
neutral · AI labelView post →#Hoppers is just as hysterical the second time! It’s unhinged and unlike any other Pixar film, yet it still has their signature heart. It’s like Avatar meets Over the Hedge, and even like a family friendly Princess Mononoke. This is definitely going to be one of my new comfort films.
neutral · AI labelView post →#ArtistFave00s - Ben Folds #MusicChallenge Day 8 - "Family of Me" (2006) Folds succumbed to the temptation so many artists face once they become parents and did a children's movie. Played over the opening credits, it clearly establishes the themes of OVER THE HEDGE...I assume. I've never seen it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Raccoon character in terrible kids movie: "Yippee ki-yay!" Me, nodding: "Ah yes, a reference to John McClane in Die Hard, played by Bruce Willis, who also played a famous movie raccoon in Over the Hedge, what a clever raccoon movie reference how tremendously droll"

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Over The Hedge on a whim, and it was a neat watch! c: Not spectacular, but I still enjoyed the cast of main & side animal characters, the sense of scale/size coming into play, and RJ's conflicts later in the movie! ...And I *definitely* didn't rewind multiple times on a couple scenes 👉👈
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a bit in the (otherwise terrible) Dreamworks movie Over the Hedge that's stuck with me. Some urban creatures are discussing how to steal food off humans. One asks "what if they don't have any food?" and another replies "they *always* have food"
neutral · AI labelView post →"Name a movie you watched a ton as a child" Over The Hedge (2006) i remember seeing it on dvd everytime when i was bored
positive · AI labelView post →I don’t think there is a character that signified mainstream animation’s obligation to have a marketable sidekick character in the 2000’s than damn Hammy from Over The Hedge, they gave this guy a whole ass video game, was Hammy even anyone’s favorite part of the movie?

neutral · AI labelView post →Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the US release of one of my favorite animated movies: Over the Hedge! A very fun adventure with a crew of talking animals against the suburbs! Instrumental in my path towards Furry as we know it, and through this film I made several good friends and good memories.
positive · AI labelView post →19. Take 3! Over the Hedge has a couple of good bits but is basically incoherent and smarmy. Watching a movie like this is real dedication to podcasting for its own sake. check out @boxofficegross.bsky.social as they bring people on to talk about the top 50 movies of 2006, good or (mostly) bad.

neutral · AI labelView post →Any heist film really. Like the Oceans films. I did a oneshot based on Over the Hedge and even Moana, which are kinda heists. Those ensemble hero films like Suicide Squad and Justice League also work well, although the really big ones just contain too much for a oneshot.

negative · AI labelView post →Explain your Username I was looking to rebrand from my cringey preteen alias "Chinatown64". At the time I was unhealthily obsessed with the 2006 film Over the Hedge. I first went with "Android Squirrel" which later became "RoboRisu". This all was even before Risu was an actual character.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Dreamworks' Over The Hedge (2006) yesterday, it shocked me by how much of 2026 Americana was critiqued by the film. Then it hit me, the film wasn't necessarily critiquing what we are now in 2026, but exaggerating the worst parts of 2006. Yet 20 years later, we become every joke in this movie

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched "Over the Hedge" today for the first time in...a long time. It's nearly 20 years old now, but I still like it. Many cute critters I wanna cuddle and well-done voice work. Heather, the teenager opossum girl, is cute and I wanna cuddle and listen to punk music with her, or something. ❤️ I'm angry at DreamWorks for never making a sequel.
