Funnier fact. I can't remember the full details but there was a group of amatuer (I think) astronomers in the 2010s (I think) that discovered a previously unseen astrial phenomenon and after seeing this movie chose to name it Steve for that reason. The name was later canonized by turning it into the acronym S.T.E.V.E. Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement
I do! I honestly don’t understand why it doesn’t get more attention! Decent plot and character development, good animation, an appropriate sense of humor, and a massive cast full of great actors! What’s not to love?
This movie is severely underrated. I LOVE is so much. The cast is great, the animation is great, the story is great, the comedy is great! I still want a sequel however since Garry Shandling passed away, I don't think it'll happen. Nobody else can do Vern justice.
I said this in my comment, but I think DreamWorks didn't think the box office was good enough (while profitable) to warrant a sequel, and the studio had more stuff on their plate.
@@nicolasbaron4506 I should mention they were actually perfectly willing to do more (or at least so I’ve heard), but that they ended up undergoing disagreements with United Media (who at the time owned the rights to the newspaper comic this film is based on) that left Dreamworks feeling bitter enough to cancel a planned sequel AND a planned Pearls Before Swine movie. And ultimately, all further reasonable chances of a sequel at this point have been given extra deep final nails in their coffin in the form of Garry Shandling’s death in 2016 and Bruce Willis’s aphasia diagnosis and subsequent retirement in 2022.

Seriously, one of the best animated films ever made. The perfect animated moment: Hammy drinking the energy drink and he moves so fast, everything else is in slow motion, including the laser light. I always bust a gut on that scene! So glad you reacted to it. A sign of taste!
To answer that question about Turtles and their shells, they can't be separated from it. Turtles aren't in their shells, they are their shells. It's made of a modified rib cage
Yes, finally! Also, yes, turtles are attached to their shells, as their shells are almost completely just modified spine and ribs (at least the top part of it), but this movie is about fun (with a banger soundtrack), not education. Also, now I recommend Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Flushed Away and Chicken Run.
Fun trivia about the scene when Hammy the Squirrel drinks caffeine and everything around him slows down In the Sonic Hedgehog movie, there is a similar scene when Sonic moves so fast that everything around him slows down. People asked the director if they got that idea from the Quicksilver scene from X-Men Days Of Future Past, but he didn't, he got it from this movie Yeah I agree seeing those clips of Over The Hedge here, it definitely was better to me when I was a kid. It's not a bad movie, just one that's okay.
Ah, yes! One of my favorite films from my childhood! Over the Hedge is definitely one of DreamWorks' underrated films! I'm honestly surprised that we haven't gotten a sequel to this. But I guess the film, while it was profitable ($339.7 million against an $80 million budget), didn't do nearly as well at the box office than something like the first Shrek ($488 million) or Madagascar ($542 million), and DreamWorks probably had other stuff on their plate like sequels to their hits (Shrek and Madagascar) and newer projects (Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon).
Actually, Dreamworks initially WERE willing to make a sequel, but changed their minds after disagreements with the people who owned the rights to the Over the Hedge comic strip at the time left them with a bad taste in their mouth.
13:16 No, turtles can't take their shells off. Because the shell is their spine. If that gets taken off, they will die. Detachable shells is a cartoon trope.
Rabbits are not native to Australia. But thanks to the European settlers they are everywhere these days, destroying farmland. Australia does not have many predatory animals, have you ever heard the expression breeding like rabbits. So, it is very hard to keep their numbers down. So, farmers put up a fence to try and protect areas of farmland from the rabbit.
I definitely watched this movie a number of times as a kid, but I remember being a bit melancholy every time that sad scene near the end came on, with the music and montage and everything.
I've seen it in theatre when it came out, I have it on DVD and probably watch it at least once a year and it's still one of my absolute favourite movies 😍😍🥰 partly because of the amazing soundtrack ✨ so excited for your reaction 🥺
I remember seeing this movie years ago and I was thinking that when I grow up and move to my own house I would buy a lot of food just like this wagon. Today I feel I had enough 😅
Australian here; The reason why the Rabbit-Fence is still up is because... taking it down would be a waste of time. It cost the equivalent of 6 and a half Million dollars to place up, and then turned out not to work anyway, so since it doesn't do the one thing it was made for, it being there or not doesn't change anything, so might as well save the money and keep it up! It's like asking why the Great Wall of China isn't taken down; it's harmless, and its a good piece of history. (Also; Great Wall of China, Rabbit Proof fence, basically the same thing as a lot of Aussies will tell you XD )
I don’t know why everyone dislikes this movie so much. I thought it had it’s moments. The cast is literally tons of celebrities who’ve done comedy before, so there are a few laughs to this.
24:15 This happened to my great-aunt once, she says if you want to talk to someone, just ask about them. She once went on a date with a guy, and would ask him questions. He never reciprocated, and just talked about himself while she listened. At the end, he was saying that it was the best date he ever went on!
24:16 My lifestyle and my working will probably result in me ending up being this same kind of person. Not about being the person talk talk and talk about themselves, but being the kind of person behind it
Oh my gosh. Growing up, my little brother would pick this movie for movie night ALL THE TIME. Drove me and my siblings nuts. Love the movie, but not ten times in a row. XD
This movie is so much fun, still love watching it Re: your question about turtles, yes! Turtles' shells are part of their body and directly attached to them so they can't fall out of them like Verne does :P Cute fact though, they have nerves in their shells so they can feel you petting them!
Love this movie growing up❤️❤️❤️ I think it’s so hilarious and I do love the story 😃😃😃also I think the soundtrack is awesome and very original and Hammy is probably my favourite character He can burp his abcs 🤣🤣🤣 plus it has an all star cast like Bruce Willis and Steve carrel and Avril lavine just to name a few 😁 thanks for your reaction Sophie for this underrated gem and can’t wait what you do next 😃😃😃😉😉
Did you know Over the Hedge has an unofficial sequel in the form of a video game? The first...i wanna say 3 missions is you sneaking into Gladys house to steal the food. After the scene of the animals stuck in the hedge between the bear and humans the game transitions into it's own thing.
I somehow remember a crazy amount of it, even down to camera angles in certain scenes, despite not seeing it since I was maybe seven. And I'm a week from 20 now.
Oh man the amount of times this was repeated on trips with my brothers..... Is George of the Jungle with Brendan Fraser an option? Major nostalgia there
🦝👍 You're hilarious as usual. The presences of Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, William Shatner and Avril Lavigne made this one of the most Canadian-heavy cartoon features ever. 2006 was the year that Dreamworks Animation released two really great movies, this and "Flushed Away." Hope you eventually find the time to watch that one as well.
"Oh, and assault in a cop... in America. Honey, shouldn't have done that". With "America", she meant the United States, but it also applies to almost every country on the continent 😅😆 (I'm talking about the police).
Oh cool I remember this movie, had some pocket money went to my neighborhood bootleg VCD store, the cover seemed fun so i just bought it. Never saw a trailer or an on9 review, ah the simpler times
I took liberty on the turtle shell thing Apparently it is a bony structure made to protect their internal organs without the shell their organs would be exposed like ours would be if we didn't have any skin in our chest So no, you can't take the shell of a turtle
wanna try a different style? some sooo calm, relaxing but yet deep old ANIME movies like "your name" or "wolf children" or the oscar rewarded "spirited away", "Ariety" , "when Marnie was there" idk.. something like that i'de love to see you reacting at a different style of animation
Fun Fact: this movie is what started the phenomenon of naming something Steve to make it less scary.
Funnier fact. I can't remember the full details but there was a group of amatuer (I think) astronomers in the 2010s (I think) that discovered a previously unseen astrial phenomenon and after seeing this movie chose to name it Steve for that reason. The name was later canonized by turning it into the acronym S.T.E.V.E. Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement
Is that why the original host of Blue's Clues was called Steve?
I do! I honestly don’t understand why it doesn’t get more attention! Decent plot and character development, good animation, an appropriate sense of humor, and a massive cast full of great actors! What’s not to love?
honestly, with so many franchises being milked to oblivion i'm happy this is a underrated film. Let it be just an one of one
2:56 Sophie, never stop being awkwardly adorable. Its one of the many things that makes me smile
I second the motion! She is absolutely adorable!
This movie is severely underrated. I LOVE is so much. The cast is great, the animation is great, the story is great, the comedy is great! I still want a sequel however since Garry Shandling passed away, I don't think it'll happen. Nobody else can do Vern justice.
I said this in my comment, but I think DreamWorks didn't think the box office was good enough (while profitable) to warrant a sequel, and the studio had more stuff on their plate.
The video game for Xbox/GameCube/PS2 is the closest thing we'll ever get to a sequel.

It's pretty underrated in the Dreamworks catalogue iMHO.

Also there is the Movie Clock Stoppers, or something like that, where they slowdown and stop time to prevent things from happening.
Girl, this is for sure one of the best movies of my childhood, I'm so glad you finally saw it, thanks.

My favorite scene is when RJ says: that is where the altar where they worship the food!
This movie and the game are the perfect duo.
0:08 speaking of new experiences,this Sophie Lents movie reaction experience is pretty awesome so far 👍🏿👍🏿🌟
No, a turtle cannot take off its shell. Their shell is a modified ribcage and is fused to their spine.
Interesting ❤
13:16 No, turtles can't take their shells off. Because the shell is their spine. If that gets taken off, they will die. Detachable shells is a cartoon trope.

Best representation of the relationship of us and animals.
I definitely watched this movie a number of times as a kid, but I remember being a bit melancholy every time that sad scene near the end came on, with the music and montage and everything.
Turtles and tortoises are literally attached to their shells. It's in a way part of their skeletons.
I've seen it in theatre when it came out, I have it on DVD and probably watch it at least once a year and it's still one of my absolute favourite movies 😍😍🥰 partly because of the amazing soundtrack ✨ so excited for your reaction 🥺
In the early 1930s, Australia went to war with Emus - NOT KIDDING - and they also tried to fight off rabbits. (I am not Australian, I am a historian)
Yes, the Monopoly hat was always the funniest piece to play as!
Great reaction, Sophie 🖤
Idk why but the father porcupine was always my favorite character.Just the way he talks.8:09 Just seems like someone you wanna be around
The soundtrack by Ben Folds on this movie is some of the best Dreamworks have ever gave us... Specially the song called "Still"
One of my favourite films from my childhood! I also loved the game on PS2!
I still watch over the hedge and it's still the best movie ever
I remember seeing this movie years ago and I was thinking that when I grow up and move to my own house I would buy a lot of food just like this wagon. Today I feel I had enough 😅

Tortoises cant lose their shell. They're part of their skeleton
Hammy is everything 🤣😂🥰🤗
1:46 🎶 You gotta fight! For your right! For chips, yeah! 🎶
Nice one
I remember this movie for one reason - I watched it so often it literally made my mom go crazy for a day LMAO
My mom unironically loves this movie, especially Hammy. I never cared much for it, but I’m starting to grow an appreciation for it.
I don’t know why everyone dislikes this movie so much. I thought it had it’s moments. The cast is literally tons of celebrities who’ve done comedy before, so there are a few laughs to this.
For me, Over the Hedge was the Surf's Up of 2006, both of which are such underrated movies.
@@nicolasbaron4506Facts!
Neat little detail: the "Sonic stops time" scene in the first sonic the hedgehog was based off the one in here!
All the "stop time" scenes from any movie is based off of this one
24:15 This happened to my great-aunt once, she says if you want to talk to someone, just ask about them. She once went on a date with a guy, and would ask him questions. He never reciprocated, and just talked about himself while she listened. At the end, he was saying that it was the best date he ever went on!

This is a very good movie, been like 16 years since I've seen it. But very good reaction! You just earned a new sub! Well done!
Awesome! Love this movie as a kid. Especially the short packaged w/ the film where Hammy deals with the boomerang.
You should watch Flushed Away, it's a very fun movie.
YES. I love that movie. And it’s the next one in Dreamworks’ catalog. It’s extremely funny.
Oh my gosh. Growing up, my little brother would pick this movie for movie night ALL THE TIME. Drove me and my siblings nuts. Love the movie, but not ten times in a row. XD
YASSS BISCUIT, THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE, Thank you for watching this one...the chips do make it iconic
19:44 love Sophie's life lesson in the middle of the movie reaction 👍🏿👍🏿❤️
Me too
Well it’s about time you reacted to this. You sure made my day
This movie is so much fun, still love watching it
Re: your question about turtles, yes! Turtles' shells are part of their body and directly attached to them so they can't fall out of them like Verne does :P Cute fact though, they have nerves in their shells so they can feel you petting them!
If I remember the movie? I rewatched it randomly yesterday after ages because I felt like it, and now you react to it, nice timing there xD
I haven’t seen this movie in a very long time! So I’m glad you’re doing this reaction to Over the Hedge! 🦝 🐿️
Love this movie growing up❤️❤️❤️ I think it’s so hilarious and I do love the story 😃😃😃also I think the soundtrack is awesome and very original and Hammy is probably my favourite character He can burp his abcs 🤣🤣🤣 plus it has an all star cast like Bruce Willis and Steve carrel and Avril lavine just to name a few 😁 thanks for your reaction Sophie for this underrated gem and can’t wait what you do next 😃😃😃😉😉
28:57 That line always made me laugh! 😂
Hammy is literally ADHD!😂
The shells of turtles are fused with their spine. It’s similar to bone. So yeah turtles can’t leave their shells.
Now we’re talking! That’s my favorite DreamWorks animated film right there! How did you react to the THX logo?
Nice!
You know how people say that chicken little feels More like a Dreamworks movie than a Disney one, well over the hedge is like the other way around.
I only saw this once or twice. But I really liked it.
Did you know Over the Hedge has an unofficial sequel in the form of a video game? The first...i wanna say 3 missions is you sneaking into Gladys house to steal the food. After the scene of the animals stuck in the hedge between the bear and humans the game transitions into it's own thing.
Like Rango, the liar reveal was handled very well.
i just love rewatching every single movie with your commentaries "SOPHIE LENTS VIDEOS" new addiction unlocked successfully
I didn't realize Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes and Thomas Haden church were in this movie
I've had a terrible day from a long-term illness, these vids help.
Dreamworks had the right idea of what a Karen is before everyone else
I loved this movie when I was a kid
Remember !?!... watched it about 2 weeks ago.... just love it....
The skunk and cat relationship I believe is based on Pepe LePew and the female cat I can’t remember the name of.
I somehow remember a crazy amount of it, even down to camera angles in certain scenes, despite not seeing it since I was maybe seven. And I'm a week from 20 now.
Turtles can in fact, NOT leave their shells 😅
The weirdness of the bush is that it’s so, not naturally shaped. Artificial.
My favorite and always will be my movie to watch over and over again is: Repo The Genetic Opera
Totally know over the hedge for years i love the movie
Oh man the amount of times this was repeated on trips with my brothers.....
Is George of the Jungle with Brendan Fraser an option? Major nostalgia there
Another thing: Possums can't actually play dead. They literally become so scared, they pass out.
Reaction wish list:
The Love Bug (1968); Flight of the Navigator; Godzilla (1954); Mighty Joe Young (1998); Valley of Gwangi; Oliver and Company
Of course i remember this movie, i love it
I wish Over The Hedge 2 was released on theaters and IMAX April 19, 2018, and was released on DVD, Blu-Ray, and Digital July 22, 2018

Turtles cannot lose their shells they are born with the shell so it is not able to come off it is part of their body
23:17 Love that Sophie wisdom ❤️ 👍🏿👍🏿
I took liberty on the turtle shell thing
Apparently it is a bony structure made to protect their internal organs
without the shell their organs would be exposed like ours would be if we didn't have any skin in our chest
So no, you can't take the shell of a turtle
Sophie i remember this movie as well just the scene with the chips.
I’m a chocolate lover too and it’s because of my dad made me cravings for chocolate way too much 😂
I love this part 😂 14:56
wanna try a different style? some sooo calm, relaxing but yet deep old ANIME movies like "your name" or "wolf children" or the oscar rewarded "spirited away", "Ariety" , "when Marnie was there" idk.. something like that i'de love to see you reacting at a different style of animation
I feel so bad for my great aunt because the Karen in this movie looks exactly like her 😂
Remember? I still have my DVD from Blockbuster!!!!
Who..ga- gave you permission to unlock core memories I forgot I had…
Love your reactions, over the hedge is such a classic, so much nostalgia… think you could react to “Dog Soldiers” (2002)? 😁
This movie better get a sequel or a tv series
Trying to focus on the reaction but can only focus on the cute twirly locks in Sophie's hair :D
I notice your eye shade is the same color as the cheese chips
Hahaha!!! "Smooooth...TALK!!!!", HAHAHA!!!!
13:21 yeah true but if it’s a cartoon then possibilities are endless
I was thinking about this the other day.
I do I had a family myself my knuckles blush and mcqueen And that’s good that’s good
It's not a turtle, IT'S A TORTOISE!
I love this movie❤
ohh I remeber this movie😌😌
ahh so many memories🥲🥲
Ohhhhhh yes I remember this movie!! ❤❤
