Leans Left
Primary
The film's left-leaning rating is primarily driven by its central critique of human consumerism and suburban sprawl, advocating for environmental preservation and the value of community over individualistic excess.
The movie features a diverse animal cast, with some visible minority representation among the voice actors, though the primary roles are not human and therefore do not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative subtly critiques human consumerism and environmental impact through its white human antagonists, but this critique is not explicitly focused on traditional identities themselves.
Secondary
Over the Hedge does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on the animal characters' struggle for survival and adaptation to suburban life, without incorporating any elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film features several female animal characters who participate in the group's efforts against human antagonists. However, none of these characters are depicted winning a direct, close-quarters physical combat encounter against one or more male opponents through skill, strength, or martial arts.
The film adapts characters from the original comic strip. All major and named characters maintain their established canonical gender from the source material, with no instances of a character being portrayed as a different gender.
The film features anthropomorphic animal characters, for whom the concept of human race or a 'race swap' is not applicable. There are no human characters in the film or its source material whose race could be altered.
