Over the Hedge

Backyard animal comic

Over the Hedge is a 2006 animated comedy film about woodland animals who discover suburban sprawl has encroached on their forest home.

A raccoon named RJ convinces the group to raid the new neighborhood for food.

The title refers to the hedge separating wilderness from suburbia—a barrier the animals must cross.

Based on a comic strip of the same name.
