DreamWorks Animation Television, we earnestly request that you create a TV show based on "Over the Hedge" to honor the memory of Garry Shandling. His portrayal of Verne, alongside RJ and their band of woodland friends, brought joy and inspiration by echoing the timeless charm of Paramount Cartoon Studios and Harvey Entertainment comedies. These characters and their adventures had a unique way of melding humor and heart, reminiscent of cherished animated classics from a bygone era.

Furthermore, fans of the original "Over the Hedge" film will fondly remember the offbeat and endearing encounters between the animals and their human counterparts. By weaving LaFontant and Sharp was spoof of the era's fantasy cartoons such as Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines and Looney Tunes this series could recreate the magic of a simpler time and introduce these delightful characters to a new generation of viewers. This TV show could highlight the brilliance and the enjoyment that defined the animated storytelling of our youth.

By developing an Over the Hedge TV series, DreamWorks could celebrate Shandling’s legacy while introducing young audiences to the timeless humor that shaped the animated landscape. Such a show could also explore deeper themes of community, conservation, and friendship set against the backdrop of whimsical adventures inspired by classic animation.

We believe that, given the vibrancy of these characters and the storylines they inspire, a TV series would captivate audiences and pay tribute to the comedic genius Shandling brought to his role. It would stand as a tribute to the old-school comedic style that Over the Hedge humorously and cleverly embraced.

Please consider this unique opportunity to honor a beloved actor and introduce more fans to the delightful world of Over the Hedge. Let’s keep this delightful story alive, exploring new adventures with RJ, Verne, and all of the other beloved characters. Sign this petition to show your support and bring Over the Hedge to the small screen permanently.
