Over the Hedge initially began development at 20th Century Fox Animation, but when the studio shut down in 2000 following the box office disappointment of Titan A.E., the film went into development limbo. Luckily enough, DreamWorks Animation picked up the film and brought it back to life.
A group of hungry critters led by RJ the raccoon (Bruce Willis) plot to make their way over a giant hedge that was built to separate the woodland animals from their usual treasure trove of snack food. The gang sets out to overcome the new divide in hopes of pleasing a hungry bear - and themselves.
Reviews "The action scenes are fun, the characters are well-drawn and voiced, and I thought the film’s visual look was sort of lovely." –Roger Ebert
