12/24/2023 0 Comments Squirrel from over the hedgeShe gets along best with RJ, often adding insight to his plans.Steve Carell steals the animated family comedy “Over the Hedge” (DreamWorks, $30), providing the voice of Hammy, the hyper food-obsessed squirrel who doesn’t know if he’s a “crazy rabid squirrel” or a “crazy rabbit-squirrel.” Hammy proved so popular with audiences that he got his own short, “Hammy’s Boomerang Adventure,” on the DVD. Clara - A human infant who can speak to and understand the animals with surprising intelligence.RJ has addressed the character as “Hamilton”. The character swapped places in December 2005 with his duplicate also named “Hammy” from the other side of a mirror. He was later renamed as “Sammy” one continuity error that was assigned a fanciful explanation when the film was in production in May 2005. The character started the strip as “Hammy”. His comments usually state an unusually short lecture on a topic of little interest to the other characters. Hammy - A hyperactive squirrel, Hammy is the least intelligent, though also the most lovable character in the strip, spouting random comments at random moments.Most recently his shell was used as a hotspot for Queen Izzy the Ant Queen and her ant subjects, forcing him to first wear one cereal box of Lucky Charms and then one utilikilt. He is a computer nerd and he once “broke” the internet. His proudest achievement is gathering all of the air conditioners out of Suburbia and shouting “LET THE GLOBAL COOLING COMMENCE!!!” just as RJ was about to plug them all in. He is one of the most caring characters (second to “The Tree That Knows Stuff”), but he sometimes lacks basic common sense. Verne is a true renaissance turtle, an intelligent and quick-witted observer with a deep spiritual side and a tingling feeling in his tail when something is not right. Verne - Verne is a cautious, easy going, lactose abhorrent turtle who is reflective and prone to allergies. RJ is shown to have the ability to expand to fit a massive amount of food and is known as “that horrible raccoon kid” on Halloween. He was shown to care for Clara even before she was born (after he learned that babies can hear some things outside of the mother from Verne) by reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and singing a horrible version of “ Stairway to Heaven”. He enjoys commenting on human life and has studied humans and knows their ways of getting food, and even has slightly imprinted on them. He loves to burgle human homes for food, as well as watch them and their televisions through the windows. He is sometimes shown without a brain using his brain cavity to store his “ hanky” and breath mints. He apparently envisions himself as an intellectual however his “facts” are obviously false. He takes pride in being extremely apathetic. Īccording to the Detroit Free Press, one factor in the strip’s initial success was the ending of Calvin and Hobbes in December 1995 when that strip ended, over 110 newspapers chose to run Over the Hedge as its replacement. In response, the two changed the lead characters to an ordinary raccoon and turtle, and in 1995, the strip was approved by United Feature Syndicate. This idea was rejected by editors, who thought that readers would not relate to the strip’s rural setting or the use of pigs as characters. They originally conceived another comic strip called The Secret Life of Pigs, featuring two anthropomorphic pigs. At the time, Lewis was a children’s book illustrator, and Fry was a freelance writer. Lewis began collaborating through an agent who represented both of them.
