Hammy's Boomerang Adventure

Official press release for the short & the other DVD content I produced (Hammy singing our Hedge version of Jingle Bells - or as Hammy does it Jingle BURPS!) - on sale October 17th!!




"What happens when you combine the ever-mischievous RJ the raccoon, three curious porcupine kids, a boomerang and a video camera? Not to mention a flighty squirrel. You have the all-new mini-movie, "Hammy'’s Boomerang Adventure."

Now that RJ and the gang have settled back into life in the forest, he and the porcupine kids Bucky, Quillo & Spike decide to have a little fun with their friend Hammy. With video camera in hand, they decide to start filming their own prankster reality series that sheds light on the weird and wacky habits of one manic squirrel. But before their fun goes too far, the overprotective Verne steps in and finds himself shell shocked once again.

The original cast from "“Over the Hedge" star in this comedic take on friendly animal observation. Bruce Willis (the “Die Hard” franchise, “The Sixth Sense”) stars as the roguish raccoon, RJ; Emmy winner Garry Shandling (TV's “The Larry Sanders Show,” Garry Shandling'’s Show”) voices the overly cautious turtle, Verne; Steve Carell (“The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” TV'’s “The Office”) voices the hyperactive squirrel Hammy; and the precocious porcupine kids are voiced by Sami Kirkpatrick (Bucky), Madison Davenport (Quillo) and Shane Baumel (Spike).

DreamWorks Animation'’s "“Hammy's Boomerang Adventure"” was directed by Will Finn, an established character designer, story artist and animator who most recently directed “Home on the Range.” The mini-movie was produced by Kate Spencer and executive produced by Bonnie Arnold, with Bruce Seifert serving as associate producer. The story is by Tom Owens. "Over the Hedge"” directors Tim Johnson and Karey Kirkpatrick served as creative consultants on the project."
