Go To

1[[WMG: RJ is a JustForFun/TimeLord]]
2Evidence: he once claimed to have lit the fuse to the Big Bang.
3* His swiss army knife (with lug wrench, dental mirror, retractor, catheter, and argon laser) is really a sonic screwdriver.
4** His TARDIS is... I don't know, that golf bag from the film?
5** Strangely enough, this might be true. Take a look at [[http://www.gocomics.com/overthehedge/2012/01/29/ this strip]] and say this isn't now IKnewIt.

7[[WMG: If there is ever a sequel, The Tree That Knows Stuff will be written in]]
8Except it will be an animal talking through the tree, possibly to earn respect by giving advice to others. One of the characters takes this advice the wrong way, setting up the plot for the sequel.
9[[WMG: [[FridgeHorror Hammy got insane from starvation]]]]
10Hammy is trying to [[{{double entendre}} find his nuts]] at the start of the movie. [[spoiler: [[BrickJoke At the end of the movie]], Hammy finds an enormous number of nuts in the log. It means he was starving while in hibernation because he didn't eat any of it.]]
11[[WMG: RJ was kicked out of his family after failing to retrieve the food from Vincent's cave]]
12And Vincent stole the food from RJ's family in the first place
13
14[[WMG: RJ had done the "Skunk pretending to be a cat" trick before.]]
15That is really the only way for him to even think of the idea, let alone think it would work at all. It IS a pretty large leap in logic to think a disguised skunk would pass as a black cat of some type. Let alone work as a good distraction. But if he had seen it in action with some long-gone partner(s) in crime, then of course he would think of it then. Much to the luck of the family, and especially Stella and Tiger.

17[[WMG: Heather has [[ShipTease a crush on RJ]]]]
18Evidence: Was particularly close with RJ, being one of the first to trust him, and throughout the movie, gives him a few looks that suggests an interest in him.
19
20[[WMG: RJ was an orphan long before the film]]
21
22At the film's end, he mentions that he never had a family before meeting the herdies so it's possible that RJ was an orphan, having to learn how to get food on his own and believing that he only had to look out for himself to survive.
23
24[[WMG: There will be a TV series]]
25The possibility of a sequel has previously been doubtful due to the film's box office performance, and slated only possible if a larger studio bought [=DreamWorks=].
26
27Flash forwarding to present day, [=DreamWorks=] is now owned by NBC Universal. And as it turns out, ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' [[note]](another one-note movie with a large fan following)[[/note]] is finally getting a TV series. If ''Over The Hedge'' were to come back, it could get this same treatment as it's less expensive than a theatrical sequel (not to mention that Verne and RJ would have to be recast due to circumstances surrounding their original voice actors). The premise of wild animals adapting to suburbia sounds like it has a lot of potential - especially considering its comic strip counterpart.
28
29[[WMG: A follow up to the film will be more faithful to the comic.]]
30If it's still under [=DreamWorks=], then more of the other characters besides RJ, Verne and Hammy can still appear.
31
32[[WMG: Verne, if not all turtles InUniverse, are descended from ogres]]
