''Over the Hedge'' is a VideoGame adaptation of the Creator/DreamWorksAnimation film ''Film/OverTheHedge''. Rated E10+.

Unlike most video games based on movies, this one starts at the climax of the film, where everything is solved, and the animals are free to do whatever they please. A year later, however, they feel a bit bored with just stealing food, so they try and find other things they can use to pass the time, such as a TV or a popcorn machine. Unfortunately, Dwayne the Verminator is back, and is using mind control helmets to take control of other animals, such as rats, and use them as his henchmen.

Playable characters include RJ, Verne, Hammy, and Stella. While playing, you can use weapons such as golf clubs, plungers, baseball bats, etc. to fight enemies. You can also throw long range weapons, such as frisbees or boomerangs. There are various toy guns thrown about the game as well, like a ball launcher.

The game was released for the NintendoGameCube, GameBoyAdvance, PlayStation2, XBox and NintendoDS.
----
!!This game provides examples of the following {{Tropes}}:
* AnimalStereotypes: The ones used in the movie return, there's now an angry rottweiler, and the enemies fit this pretty well.
* AxCrazy: Dwayne and a Rottweiler boss.
** The animals may count as well, using weapons such as golf clubs and baseball bats.
* HeelFaceTurn: You have to battle Vincent again, but he's wearing a mind control helmet. Once you get it off of him, he joins you and comes back to the hedge.
* PowerUpFood: Spuddies!
* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Subverted, this game is actually pretty good.
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: Once the animals are able to watch movies, you can see clips from movies like Film/{{Shrek}}, WesternAnimation/SharkTale, or basically any Creator/DreamworksAnimation movie at the time.
