Over the Hedge Soundtrack

Over the Hedge Soundtrack

The Over the Hedge soundtrack, released in 2006, serves as a musical companion to the animated film, blending whimsical pop with orchestral arrangements. Ben Folds provided several key tracks, including 'Rockin' the Suburbs,' 'Heist,' 'Still,' and 'Family of Me,' which define the album's energetic yet nostalgic tone. His contributions feature intricate guitar work and catchy melodies that capture the spirit of suburban life and the excitement of a summer adventure. The recording style prioritizes accessibility and charm, utilizing a pop-rock framework that complements the film's visual narrative. This body of work remains a notable example of animated film scoring from the mid-2000s, successfully integrating original compositions with the film's themes of friendship and environmental awareness.
