Verne apologizes to RJ for his actions and reconciles with the other animals. That night, Gladys has Dwayne cover her yard in animal traps, including a contraband device called the De-Pelter Turbo which turns the entire yard into a death trap when activated. Verne tries to convince the family that RJ is using them, but inadvertently insults them and decides gives him some time alone. RJ tries to stop him, but the food ends up destroyed due to an encounter with the excitable dog Nugent. Worried, Verne tries to return the food to avoid Dwayne. 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 pay off his debt. As the animals wonder how they will forage, RJ materialises and encourages them to traverse the hedge and steal food from the humans. 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. The next morning, a family of woodland animals, consisting of the leader Verne, an ornate box turtle, 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 on the first day of spring. RJ agrees and decides to get help to pay Vincent back. An angry Vincent, instead of eating RJ, gives the raccoon an ultimatum: replace all his food in one week or be killed. However, he accidentally wakes Vincent from his hibernation, and the food is destroyed in the ensuing confrontation. One night, in a deserted Indiana campground, RJ the raccoon resorts to stealing a pile of food from a bear named Vincent, after a failed attempt to get food from a vending machine. It received generally positive reviews from critics, and grossed $340 million on an $80 million budget. Over the Hedge was released in the United States on May 19, 2006.
