RJ accidentally wakes Vincent from his hibernation, and in a race to escape, causes the stash to roll out onto the nearby highway and get run over by a large truck. To avoid being eaten himself, RJ promises Vincent that he will completely replace the stash within the week. RJ heads towards a recently built suburban housing development in Chesterton, Indiana, separated from a forest glade by a large hedge. There he discovers a pack of animals recently awoken from their hibernation, led by Verne the turtle ; the others include squirrel Hammy, skunk Stella, porcupines Penny and Lou, along with their triplet sons, Spike, Bucky and Quillo ; and opossum Ozzie and his daughter Heather. The animals are scared, as the development had been built during their hibernation and they fear they will be unable to forage for food in the small glade. RJ shows them the amount of food humans consume and waste and suggests they forage from the humans. Verne is hesitant but the other animals acquiesce. They make bold attempts to steal food directly from the humans, with RJ secretly guiding them to help collect the food he needs to replace Vincent 's stash. When the animals raid the trash cans of the homeowners - association chairwoman Gladys Sharp, she calls an animal exterminator named Dwayne LaFontant, who offers to install in her backyard an illegal, lethal trap called the Depelter Turbo. Verne sees this and tries to warn the others, but RJ insists they will be okay. Fearing for the safety of the pack, Verne attempts to return what they stole ; he and RJ argue, causing a small rampage through the development and destroying the stash RJ had collected for Vincent. RJ rallies the others to raid Gladys ' home directly on the night before a large party. With Stella disguised as a cat to distract Gladys ' own cat, Tiger, the others enter Gladys ' home and collect all the food. RJ inadvertently reveals his duplicity to the animals, just as they are discovered by Gladys who calls Dwayne. RJ escapes with the food for Vincent but leaves the other animals to be captured by Dwayne. As RJ returns the food to Vincent, he sees Dwayne 's truck drive by and impulsively uses the food to knock the truck off the road, enraging Vincent. Dwayne is knocked out while the animals get free, and Spike, Bucky and Quillo use video game skills to drive the truck back to the development. RJ pleads to be let in the truck as Vincent tries to catch him, but the others, angry at his treachery, refuse. Verne convinces the group to forgive RJ since he came back to save them. They return the truck to the development, crashing through Gladys ' home, and the animals flee into the hedge. Gladys and Dwayne converge on the animals from one side with a Weedhacker and a Cattle Prod respectively, while Vincent tries to swipe at them from the other. To escape, RJ gives Hammy a caffeinated beverage, allowing the hyperactive squirrel to move incredibly fast. Hammy is able to manipulate Dwayne into capturing Vincent, causing Vincent, Gladys, and Dwayne to be trapped by the Depelter Turbo while the animals escape. The police and animal control arrive, and Vincent is sent to the Rocky Mountains while Gladys and Dwayne are arrested for using the Turbo. RJ and Verne apologize to each other, and RJ is brought into the group, as is Tiger, who became infatuated with Stella even after learning she was a skunk. Verne realizes they have not had a chance to forage for food until Hammy reveals that while sped up, he had been able to collect enough nuts for them all to last the year. Cast Bruce Willis at the film 's premiere at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival Bruce Willis as RJ, a raccoon who is duplicitous, selfish, and extremely intelligent. Despite his hard outer shell, he is revealed to have a sensitive personality, developing feelings of guilt over using his new - found companions to his own ends. Garry Shandling as Verne, a naturally cynical ornate box turtle, the leader of the foragers. He has his own ways of doing the daily tasks, but his world is turned upside - down when RJ introduces his free - spirited lifestyle into the mix. Though Verne genuinely cares for his family, he tends to condescend to them. A couple of running gags throughout the film are everyone calling him an amphibian and him correcting them with reptile ( though Dwayne already knew he was a reptile, but first mistook him as an amphibian ), as well as his shell constantly falling off. Steve Carell as Hammy, a hyperactive American red squirrel, whose mouth moves as fast as his feet and loves cookies. He is naive and childish in nature, with an extremely short attention span. The double entendre of Hammy 's constantly trying to find his nuts is a third running gag in the film. Wanda Sykes as Stella, a short - tempered, sassy striped skunk who is constantly being told by the other foragers that she needs a man in her life. Eugene Levy as Lou, a North American porcupine father and family patriarch with an overly friendly and optimistic attitude. Catherine O'Hara as Penny, the porcupine family mother and matriarch ; she serves as a ground between their family and the other animals. Shane Baumel, Sami Kirkpatrick, and Madison Davenport as Spike, Bucky and Quillo, Lou and Penny ′ s three identical children. They 're big on video games and are the most enthusiastic about exploring the world beyond the hedge. Avril Lavigne at the film 's premiere at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival William Shatner and Avril Lavigne as Ozzie and Heather, a Virginia opossum father and daughter who see the world from different points of view ; Ozzie often embarrasses Heather when he feigns death to get away from danger. Omid Djalili as Tiger, a Persian cat whose sense of smell has faded to nothing after years of his `` beautiful '' evolution, and his full Persian name is `` Prince Tigerius Mahmoud Shabazz. '' He falls in love with Stella, who 's disguised as a cat for distracting him while the group steals food from Gladys ' house, and comes to live with her at the end of the film. Nick Nolte as Vincent, an American black bear whom RJ owes food and whose barbaric behavior intimidates him. He used to be friends with RJ until he had tried to steal his food and then losing it in traffic. He makes a cameo in Bee Movie. Allison Janney as Gladys Sharp, a human and president of the Camelot Estates Home Owners Association. She is disgusted by animals and is strict on H.O.A. rules. At the end, Gladys is arrested for using an illegal animal trap called a Depelter Turbo. Thomas Haden Church as Dwayne LaFontant, an over-zealous human pest exterminator hired by Gladys. He is often fooled by plastic garden flamingos, but has an innate sense of the animals surrounding him by sniffing and then killing them. Through this, he can detect the species of any animal that has recently been in the area. He spoofs the Terminator. Brian Stepanek as Nugent, a playful Rottweiler whose only intelligible word is `` Play ! '', other than barking. Two minor human characters, appearing during the dog chase scene, were voiced by Lee Bienstock and Sean Yazbeck, two participants on The Apprentice 5 as part of a reward for winning a task. In July 2002, Jim Carrey announced he would co-star with Shandling in Over the Hedge. In October 2004, however, he left the project and was replaced with Willis.

Critical response On the film - critics aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has received 75 % positive reviews, based on 168 reviews with an average of 6.8 / 10. The site 's consensus states : `` Even if it 's not an animation classic, Over the Hedge is clever and fun, and the jokes cater to family members of all ages. '' On another aggregator, Metacritic, the film has a rating of 67 / 100, indicating `` generally favorable. '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale. Critic Frank Lovece of Film Journal International found that, `` DreamWorks ' slapstick animated adaptation of the philosophically satiric comic strip... is a lot of laughs and boasts a much tighter story than most animated features. '' Ken Fox of TVGuide.com called it `` a sly satire of American ' enough is never enough ' consumerism and blind progress at the expense of the environment. It 's also very funny, and the little woodland critters that make up the cast are a kiddie - pleasing bunch ''.
