“We eat to live; These guys live to eat!”
- RJ

While searching for help to gather food, RJ the intelligent raccoon comes across a bunch of other forest animals who are in danger due to suburban development destroying their habitat. With his clever instincts, he is able to convince them that theres greatness beyond the separating hedge, but on the side is trying to pay back for Vincent’s food supply which he accidentally destroyed.

While described as duplicitous, selfish, greedy, and arrogant, he can also be nice, and has a likeable, yet sensitive personalty. Throughout the movie, he develops feelings of guilt for using others for his own needs, and will learn about the importance of family, and the help and caring for others in need.
