| Synopsis |
| Just whose backyard is it, anyway? Spring has sprung, and Verne
and his woodland friends awaken from their long winter's nap to discover
that a large, green hedge has cropped up right through the middle
of their once-natural habitat. Enter RJ, an opportunistic raccoon
who explains that the world beyond the hedge is the gateway to the
good life where peculiar creatures called humans live to eat, rather
than eat to live. For humans, RJ proclaims, enough is never enough.
Suspicious and even a little jealous of the charismatic smooth-talking
RJ, the ever cautious Verne wants to keep his blended family safely
on their side of the hedge. But, proving the adage that one man's
garbage is another man's--or, rather, animal's--treasure, the manipulative
RJ has his own reasons for convincing the woodland band that there
is little to fear and everything to gain from their over-indulgent
new neighbors. Eventually, RJ and Verne form an unlikely friendship
as they and their furry friends learn to coexist with--and even exploit--this
strange new world called suburbia. |
