DreamWorks Animation’s “Over the Hedge” is a computer-animated comedy based on the popular comic strip by Michael Fry and T Lewis, Over the Hedge, centers on the unlikely friendship between a worldly and mischievous raccoon, RJ (Bruce Willis) and a timid turtle named Verne (Garry Shandling).
When R.J., Verne and their woodland friends find a suburban housing development encroaching on their forest home, Verne's first instinct is to retreat into his shell and leave.
But the ever-opportunistic R.J. sees a treasure trove to be had from his unsuspecting new neighbours. Together, Verne and R.J. form an unlikely friendship as they learn to co-exist with, and even exploit, this strange new world called suburbia.

Introducing distinctive, visually appealing and humorous animal characters, Over the Hedge will draw audiences from all age and gender demographics. A Summer 2006 theatrical release, together with a pre-Christmas home entertainment release, provide 2 key selling opportunities and an extended sales window for promotional partners and licensees.
