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 $340 million on an $80 million budget.
Over the Hedge was released in the United States on by Paramount Pictures, marking the first contribution with DreamWorks Animation. 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, and Nick Nolte. Over the Hedge is a 2006 American computer-animated adventure comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation SKG and loosely based on the comic strip of the same name by Michael Fry and T.
