A group of feisty forest critters awaken following the winter freeze to discover that not only has a new neighborhood cropped up during the cold months, but living in close proximity to humans may have its benefits in this computer-animated
comedy-
adventure for all ages featuring the voices of
Bruce Willis,
Garry Shandling,
Steve Carell,
Wanda Sykes,
Avril Lavigne,
Eugene Levy, and
William Shatner. Despite
Verne the Turtle's (
Garry Shandling) initial hesitance to breach the formidable foliage that has appeared on his doorstep since last fall, the arrival of fearless raccoon
RJ (
Willis) and revelation that their new human neighbors throw out enough food in one day to feed a whole forest lead the gang to consider taking the plunge and exploring the snack-filled suburbs. As
Verne and
RJ learn to work together in taking on their strange new surroundings,
Stella the Skunk (
Sykes),
Hammy the Squirrel (
Carrel),
Heather the Opossum (
Lavigne), and
Heather's father,
Ozzie (
Shatner), join in on the fun by scavenging for Girl Scout cookies and attempting to scuttle past the pesky new suburbanites undetected.
