RJ accidentally wakes Vincent from his hibernation, and in a race to escape, causes the stash to roll out onto the nearby highway and get run over. To avoid being eaten himself, RJ promises Vincent that he will completely replace the stash within the week. RJ heads towards a recently-built human suburban housing development in Indiana, surrounded a forest glade separated from the rest of the development by a large hedge. There, he discovers a pack of animals recently awoken from their hibernation, led by Verne the turtle; the others include the squirrel Hammy, the skunk Stella, the porcupines Penny and Lou, along with their triplet sons, Spike, Bucky and Quillo, and the opossum Ozzie and his daughter Heather. The animals are scared as the development had been build during their hibernation and fear they won't be able to forage for food in the small glade, but RJ shows them the amount of food that humans consume and waste. Verne is hesitant but the other animals are awed by RJ's knowledge and the taste of human food as well as other human indulgences. They make bold attempts to steal food directly from the humans, with RJ secretly guiding them to help collect the food he needs to replace Vincent's stash. When the animals raid the trash cans of the home owners association chairman Gladys Sharp, she calls in an animal exterminator Dwayne LaFontant, who offers to install a highly illegal and deadly animal containment system in her backyard. Verne sees this and tries to warn the others, but RJ insists they will be okay. Fearing for the safety of the animal pack, Verne attempts to return what they stole; he and RJ get into an argument that ends up causing a small rampage through the development and destroying all of the stash RJ had collected for Vincent. RJ rallies the others to raid Sharp's home directly on the night before a large party. With Stella disguised as a cat to distract Sharp's own cat, Tiger, the others enter Sharp's home and collect all the food. RJ inadvertently reveals his duplicity to the animals, just as they are discovered by Sharp who calls LaFontant. RJ manages to escape with the food for Vincent but leaves the other animals to be trapped by LaFontant. As RJ returns the food to Vincent, he sees LaFontant's truck drive by on the road, and decides to use the food to knock the truck off the road, enraging Vincent. LaFontant is knocked out while the animals get free, and Spike, Bucky and Quillo use video game skills to drive the truck back to the development. RJ pleads to be let in the truck as Vincent tries to catch him, but the others insist that RJ let them be captured. Verne is able to convince the group to forgive RJ since he came back to save them. They drive the truck back to the development, crashing through Sharp's home, and the animals flee into the hedge. Sharp and LaFontant converge on the animals from one side, while Vincent tries to swipe at them from the other. To escape, RJ gives Hammy a caffeinated beverage, allowing the hyperactive squirrel to move incredibly fast. Hammy is able to manipulate LaFontant into capturing Vincent, causing LaFontant, Sharp, and Vincent to be trapped by the system in Sharp's backyard while the animals escape to the glade. Vincent is taken away by animal control while Sharp and LaFontant are arrested for the illegal system. Verne and RJ apologize to each other, and RJ is brought into the group as part of the family, as well as Tiger, who became infatuated with Stella even after learning she was a skunk. Verne realizes they haven't had a chance to forage for food until Hammy reveals that while sped up, he had been able to collect enough nuts for them all to last the year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Over the Hedge (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
