On the night before Vincent's hibernation ends, RJ sees that Gladys has bought a massive stockpile of food for an upcoming party and enlists the help of the animals to invade her home and steal it. Verne apologizes to RJ for his actions and reconciles with the other animals. That night, RJ begins to feel conflicted about his deception towards the family, especially when he sees Gladys having Dwayne cover her yard in animal traps-including an illegal contraband device called the De-Pelter Turbo which turns the entire yard into a death trap when activated. RJ blames Verne for the loss of the food while Verne criticizes the others for trusting RJ and putting themselves in danger with the humans, inadvertently insulting them in the process and causing them to go with RJ over him. RJ tries to stop him but they come across the excitable dog Nugent who, with a single-minded fixation on playing, ends up pulling the wagon of food through the neighborhood until it lands on Gladys' SUV, causing an explosion. Spurred on by the exterminator's arrival, Verne tries to return the food to the humans. Gladys Sharp, the neighborhood Home Owners Association president, takes notice of the animal problem and hires exterminator Dwayne LaFontant to get rid of them. Despite Verne's concerns, the animals join RJ in stealing and stockpiling human food, not knowing he intends to give it to Vincent.
RJ meets them and encourages them to traverse the hedge and steal food from the humans. The animals wonder how they will forage enough food for the next winter. They find that much of the forest they lived in has been turned into a housing development, which is separated from the little forest remaining by a giant hedge. Vincent says he will hunt down and eat RJ if the food is not replaced by the time his hibernation ends a week later.Ī family of woodland animals consisting of ornate box turtle and leader Verne, hyperactive American red squirrel Hammy, striped skunk Stella, North American porcupine parents Lou and Penny and children Spike, Bucky and Quillo, and Virginia opossum father and daughter Ozzie and Heather, awaken from their hibernation on the first day of spring. Vincent wakes up and catches RJ, and the food is destroyed in the ensuing confrontation. One night, in Indiana, RJ the raccoon tries to steal snack food that Vincent, a bear, stockpiled for his hibernation. It received generally positive reviews from critics, and grossed $336 million on an $80 million budget. Over the Hedge was released in the United States on by Paramount Pictures (which acquired the DreamWorks Pictures studio the same year), making it DreamWorks Animation's first film to be distributed by that studio.
The film's plot follows a raccoon named RJ who must reclaim food for a bear, ultimately manipulating a group of animals that had recently awakened from hibernation in order to speed up the process. Directed by Tim Johnson and Karey Kirkpatrick (the latter in his feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by Len Blum, Lorne Cameron, David Hoselton, and Kirkpatrick, the film features the voices of Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, William Shatner, Wanda Sykes, Avril Lavigne and Nick Nolte. Over the Hedge is a 2006 American computer-animated comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and based on the comic strip of the same name by Michael Fry and T.
