With RJ as their guide the animals begin to understand suburbia and the new forms of food it brings, nacho chips instead of bark, cookies instead of twigs, etc. When they wake up they find a mysterious wall in the form of the hedge. When the animals settled down for hibernation they were surrounded by woodland. There he encounters a group of foraging animals who are new to suburbia. RJ heads for the only place a raccoon can find the needed amount of food in such a short amount of time: the suburbs.
The rest of the movie is fun filled age-appropriate content, nicely balanced with humor adults will appreciate and laugh at as well. It is a violent, clearly stated threat for a children’s film, but the film’s only real dark moment, which the children in the audience of my showing didn’t seem to take exception to. When the bear awakes, he forces RJ to refill the stash within a week or he’ll kill the raccoon. “Just take what you need” RJ tells himself but, despite that intelligent thought, RJ quickly tries to load up Vincent’s entire food stash. RJ the raccoon (voiced by Bruce Willis) shows his lack of loyalty when his hunger pangs get too strong and he tries to steal food from Vincent, a bear he is supposed to be friends with.
