Plot
In the beginning scene, RJ and the rest of the crew are sleeping peacefully, until RJ gets woken up, caused by the sounds of branch snapping, and the dead leaves crunching on the grass. RJ decides to get out of the log he's been sleeping in, and check out what's going on. He then notices a ferret, stealing all of Hammy's acorns. RJ rushes to wake up Hammy, to also see whats going on. When RJ and Hammy see what's going on with that ferret, the ferret also cages Ozzie, without knowing hes been trapped by a selfish, evil ferret named Alan. Alan has stolen the acorns, in order to destroy RJ's forest, also known as what's over the hedge. After that, Hammy goes nuts and screams, causing the entire group of critters to wake up, terrifed. Heather is the first one to realize that Ozzie is missing from the crew, and that the nuts have been stolen. Heather is shocked to see that her father is missing, so all of the critters decide to set booby traps and red lazers in order to stop Alan from caging any other animal of the crew. After that, the critters wake up to spy on Alan, behind a bush, to see what he'll do to Ozzie. RJ notices that Alan has a plastic knife in his hands. RJ than realizes that the plastic knife might be used for the killing of Ozzie. Ozzie has woken up, being terrifed by being trapped in a small, metal cage, surrounded by an abusive ferret. Stella then jumps out of the air, landing on the grassy floor that Alan is in. Stella then uses her skunk spray to stunk up the entire forest, in order to save Ozzie from being killed, and to distract Alan from the disgusting smell. Stella then uncages Ozzie, as Stella runs back to the bush. A few hours later, Alan tries to cage another animal, but stuff didn't go as planned. Instead, he gets burnt by the red lazers RJ set up, and ending up physically hurt by the booby traps that Lou has set up. Alan then leaves, embarrassed. Hammy then receives his nuts back by RJ, that have been founded by RJ. The critters now live a happy life together, never to see an evil ferret again.

Production
Over The Hedge 2: Nocturnal Monstrosities was in early development in 2008, but was scrapped, due to DreamWorks having a bug on their animation program. After a month, DreamWorks successfully fixed the bug and decided to work on Over The Hedge 2: Nocturnal Monstrosities. On December 2009, workers of DreamWorks started doing storyboards and concept art of Alan. On early 2010, DreamWorks founded an actor for Alan, Ben Stiller. A few months later, workers decided to do test screening for storyboards, to see if children that watched the movie were scared of some scenes. During the test screening, one of the workers, Tom McGrath, decided to delete a scene were Alan threatened to kill Ozzie, due to the scene being too "frightening" for children who watched the movie. A few years later, on 2012, DreamWorks officially released the movie in 6,000+ theaters, making it a worldwide hit.

Possible prequel
On 2013, a year after Over The Hedge 2: Nocturnal Monstrosities, McGrath stated "We might make a prequel of Over The Hedge 2, about RJ being with his family, before his family disappeared.". A few months after that, DreamWorks accidentally leaked tons of information of Over The Hedge 3. The prequel of Over The Hedge 3 appears to be called "Over The Hedge 3: Before The Weed-Killer Incident". They also leaked alot of storyboards, concept art and even 3D animation tests. RJ's mother and father are possibly called "TJ" and "SJ", and the release date seems to be May 8, 2014. DreamWorks seamlessly deleted all of the accidental leaked information about Over The Hedge 3, due to scrapping the idea of Over The Hedge 3. The cause of scrapping the idea is an actor of the cast retired, due to unknown reasons. McGrath also stated that "We might scrap the idea soon, since one of the actors of the cast of Over The Hedge 3 has retired acting." This actor is currently unknown.
