Verne apologizes to RJ for his actions and reconciles with the other animals. Gladys has Dwayne cover her yard in animal traps including an illegal contraband device called the De-Pelter Turbo that turns the entire yard into a death trap when activated. RJ blames Verne for the loss of the food, and the family abandons the latter in favor of the former after he inadvertently insults them during a heated argument. RJ tries to stop him, but they come across the excitable dog Nugent who, wanting to play, 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. Vincent wakes up and catches RJ, and the food is destroyed in the ensuing confrontation. RJ the raccoon tries to steal snack food that Vincent, a bear, stockpiled for his hibernation.
