* IKnowMortalKombat: The hedgehog kids know how to drive a car from playing a ''GTA'' clone.

* TheStinger: [[spoiler: The Hedgies go back to the vending machine RJ was raiding at the start of the film to get more food for the log. They get all the snacks this time...[[YankTheDogsChain which is unfortunately enough to block the vending machine slot.]]]]
-->'''Hammy''': [[LampshadeHanging Kinda anti-climactic, huh?]]\\

** Played [[LargeHam DEADLY STRAIGHT]] with ''Creator/THX''. And they're not even trying to be subtle.

** When Stella runs away from her new cat friend, Tiger, he shouts "STELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" in a reference to Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire.

* VillainRespect: Vincent outright congratulates RJ on his skulduggery, calling it the most "vicious, self-serving, deceitful thing (he's) ever seen." His tone makes it clear he doesn't see this as a bad thing, but it [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame serves as a wakeup call for RJ]].

It follows the adventure of a handful of woodland animals: a turtle named Verne; a raccoon, RJ; and Hammy, a squirrel are a few of them. The animals have to deal with their home being turned into suburbs. The film stars Creator/BruceWillis as RJ, Creator/SteveCarell as Hammy, and Creator/GarryShandling as Verne. The plot of the movie involves Verne and the others as RJ gives them their first introduction to the neighborhood that has been constructed around their home, accidentally taking over Verne's role as leader. In truth, he's just using them to gather food for a bear whose winter reserves he accidentally destroyed.

* RuleOfThree: See RemovableShell above.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: At one point, Ozzie, apparently so determined to show how good he is at faking his death, walks into oncoming traffic. Amazingly, he survives, but the wagonload of goods is scattered across a nearby yard, forcing the other animals to gather it all up.

* StealthPun: Notice that RJ breathes into a bag of '''OH-NO's''' when hyperventilating.

* StockAudioClip: The characters use the same audio clips from earlier in the film twice, from Ozzie's distinctive ''playing possum'' gasps to any noise Verne makes.

* AccidentalMisnaming: When RJ needs to get the Spuddies from Gladys and Verne tries to warn him out of it, RJ calls Verne Vincent before correcting himself.

* TheStinger: [[spoiler: The Hedgies go back to the vending machine RJ was raiding at the start of the film to get more food for the log. They get all the snacks this time...[[YankTheDogsChain but there are so many the vending machine slot can't be budged.]]]]

* NoodleIncident: The ''Weedhacker Incident''. [[spoiler: RJ made it up, but still.]]

* CaffeineBulletTime: Hammy. He's normally so fast it's [[FlashStep almost teleporting]], but with one Jolt-style double-caffeinated soda, ''he can out'''walk''' lasers''. That's right, a [[FasterThanLightTravel 343,000,000,000 mph]] squirrel.

* FastFoodNation: GrumpyBear Vincent's entire stash is composed of junk food, with Pringles {{expy}} Spuddies regarded as the epitome of foodstuffs. When RJ the raccoon has to replenish this stockpile, he and his friends raid human suburbs, where junk food seems to be their sole staple. In particular, RJ's monologue about the humans towards the beginning of the film is a satire of American consumerism.
