Over The Hedge
DreamWorks.
Oh, No!
Oome on!
Oome on, baby.
Grab it!
All right.
What?
Vincent.
No, no, bad idea. Bad idea!
Just take what you need.
Just take what you need.
What's?
RJ?
No?
The moon's not full.
You woke me up a week early?
Oh, no.
Don't tell me you're dumb enough
to actually try and steal my stuff.
RJ, I'm gonna have to kill you.
Please, I'm just a desperate guy
trying to feed his family.
- You don't have a family.
OK, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Look, it's still in the cave.
So, technically, not stolen.
Oh, no!
No!
Slow!
Stop!
That was close.
Vincent, wait! I can get it all back!
That's right!
If you eat me, you'd have to do it.
But I can get it. All of it!
- My red wagon?
- Redder!
- Ow.
- The blue cooler?
- Blue cooler. On my list!
- Gotta be blue?
- Yes!
And I want my Spuddies.
I love those things.
'Oause with a Spuddie,
enough just isn't enough.
So true. Painfully true.
And I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna get you the giant picnic pack,
family-fun size.
- They have that?
- I'm pretty sure.
All right, RJ. I'm going back to sleep.
When that moon is full, I'm waking up.
And all my stuff had better
But that's just one week!
That's impossible for one guy!
A week's perfect. I'll get some helpers.
Full moon, all my stuff.
And don't even think about running away.
Because if you do,
I will hunt you down and kill you.
OK! OK, buddy! You just rest easy,
all right, 'cause I'm on it.
Hey, in a week from now, we're
gonna be laughing about this thing.
Over The Hedge.
Oh, boy, that's cold! That's cold!
The one place I didn't have a shell.
Wow.
Spring.
That means there's only
Everybody, wake up! Hibernation's over.
Oh, morning!
- Morning, Hammy.
- I gotta go wee-wee!
Not in the lake we drink from!
Let's go, all right, the rest of you.
It's spring!
That means we gotta get to work.
Finished. No, wait!
Oome on, everybody. Wake up.
Don't make me come in there.
Ya'll better listen.
I've been holding something in
all winter, and I'm about to let it out.
- I'm up, I'm up!
- She means it. Let's go!
Thank you, Stella.
Oh, I can clear a room, Verne.
Oome on, that much I can do.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, everyone!
- How'd you guys sleep?
- Just a super-duper morning.
Oh, jeepers.
Whoa, not lookin' so good
around the eyes there, hon.
Bucky and Quillo were up
every three or four weeks.
Yeah. Well, he's kinda pokey.
He's the sharpest of the bunch there.
You know what?
How 'bout I take the day shift?
Oh, Lou, that'd be just super.
All right, kids, you heard your mother,
and now you listen to me. Shape up.
Oh, boy.
This is what I was afraid of.
Where's the food? Is there any left?
I'm hungry, so is there any left?
We ate all the food, Hammy. During the
winter? We gotta go get some more now.
Oh, right!
I buried some nuts in the woods.
I know where they are.
I'll be right back. Bye!
- That's enough.
- Dad, it was just snow.
But it could have been a predator.
Isn't playing dead a little... weak?
Heather, how many times must I say it?
Playing possum is what we do.
We die so that we live!
I'm the boss of you, OK? So calm down.
That's what we need to find you
this year, don't you know? A good fella.
- A good fella? A good fella?
- Jeepers, here we go.
Why does everyone think I need a man?
I look like a nest
and smell like a swamp.
So when you find a fella who's decent,
good with kids
and has no sense of smell, call me.
- Hello?
- I don't care who started it.
- Hello?
- I don't care who started it.
Oh, look, food.
Well, I think you know what this means.
- Verne.
- Just a minute, Hammy.
This means we were nine berries
away from starvation.
Sorry. That was a little intense.
I meant really serious hunger pains.
Verne!
- Not finished, Hammy.
- Morning, Lou, Penny.
- Thanks.
- Hey, kids.
- What I want to tell you is...
- Verne!
I'm not done, Hammy.
If you have to go again, just go.
OK. So all I'm saying
is we cut it a little close.
So this year we need
to make sure that we fill the log...
- All the way to the top.
- Exactly. All the way to the top.
- Because what are we?
- Foragers!
- And what do we forage?
- Food!
- Right.
- Super, Verne, really super.
OK, Hammy.
- What is it?
- What is what?
What is it you want to tell me?
What was it, what was it,
what was it, what was it?
Wait. Right on the tip of my tongue.
Oh, yeah!
There's a weird thing
I've never seen before.
OK. Meeting called
on account of weird scary thing.
Let's go.
Foragers...
Hammy, what weird thing?
Oh. That weird thing.
It never ends!
Hey!
It never ends that way too!
- Jeepers, Lou.
- Whoa.
Yeah, jeepers is the word there, hon.
- I've never seen anything like this.
- Man, that's big.
- What is this thing?
- Heather, no!
- I'm scared.
- Me too, Mama.
It's OK, it's just a...
What is this thing, Lou?
I... Well, it's a... It's... Verne?
Well, it's... it's obviously...
...some kind of bush?
I'd be less afraid of it
if I just knew what it was called.
- Let's call it Steve!
- Steve?
- It's a pretty name.
- I'm a lot less scared of Steve.
- Oh, great and powerful Steve!
- What do you want?
- I don't think it can speak.
- You get over here right now!
- OK.
Hammy, get back here.
- Steve is angry!
- It came from the other side of Steve.
I mean the bush. I mean... Jeez!
There's only one way
we're gonna find out what this thing is,
and what this is all about.
Steve ate Verne!
All right, Steve,
you brought this on yourself.
Stella, don't!
I'm not eaten, I just tripped.
I'm gonna go over there.
Just don't anybody move.
Kids, come on, hurry up! You'll be late!
What is this place?
Oh, hey there, little...
...fella.
Hi.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Operator. Oan I help you?
No, I can talk. I'm just driving.
Verne's back.
- Verne!
- Jeepers!
- You OK?
- Help him up.
- What was over there?
- Freaky pink primates!
They must have come while
we were hibernating. It was awful.
and these sticks, and they were
whacking me with these sticks
like it was some sort of sick game.
You should have died!
You should have laid down and died.
- Dad.
- That's not the worst part.
Half the forest is gone.
The oak trees and the berry bushes,
they're just... they're just gone.
Jeepers.
What'll we do for food?
How are we gonna live?
I don't know.
But here's what I do know.
We will be fine as long
as no one goes over Steve again.
It's called a hedge, and it is not
to be feared, my amphibious friend.
It is the gateway to the good life.
I'm a reptile, actually.
But, you know, it's a common mistake.
And you are?
Where are my manners. I'm RJ.
Don't think I'm prying,
but I couldn't help overhearing,
