Hammy's Boomerang Adventure
Hammy's Boomerang Adventure is a short film based on the film Over the Hedge. It was theatrically released with Flushed Away in the United States, and can be found on the movie's DVD as a bonus feature.
Synopsis
Bucky, Quillo and Spike (the young porcupines) begin with filming RJ who holds a piece of cardboard which has the words, "RJ's Wild World of Nature", a made-up nature show. Their subject is Hammy when he discovers a boomerang. RJ and the kids hide in the hedge and watch Hammy as he first sees the boomerang and "calls dibs." He tries to eat it but hates the taste and throws it away. The boomerang hits him in this order:
- Hammy is first hit and hisses like a cat at the boomerang (the kids giggle during this time but Hammy dismisses it) before throwing it away again.
- Hammy throws it again and barely dodges it but stands up and laughs triumphantly but is hit again.
- Hammy continuously dodges it then starts throwing the boomerang without stopping but soon realises he is actually throwing sugar sweets which prove as a distraction as he is hit again.
- He scurries up a tree but the boomerang freezes next to him. He shouts "Begone! I don't believe in you!" but the boomerang keeps spinning around the tree, forcing him to shout "Alright, I believe in you!" He then buries the boomerang in a deep hole and proceeds to cover it up.
- He is hit again and finally chops it into pieces with an axe, puts it in a chest, devishly burns it with a lighter then stomps on the hot ashes but then steps off before he is continuously hit again.
RJ then asks the audience if they should tell him that the kids actually had a lot of boomerangs in a box. Verne then appears and figures out what they are doing and throws the camera away and informs them at how humans do the same thing. Hammy finds the camera in the mean time and claims it. He says the camera lens tastes "shiny". RJ and the kids then inform Verne they will not do it again.
The crew (joined by Hammy) later preform another so-called "Unrated Version" episode which shows Verne bathing without his shell on. He then finds out what they are doing and chases RJ away through the hedge. Hammy calls dibs on Verne's shell before one of the kids run back and switch off the camera.
