Summary: Upon waking up after hibernation, a group of forest animals discover that a tall hedge has appeared out of nowhere, half their forest is gone, and they have little to no food left. Their leader Verne, a nervous turtle, suggests they must adapt. Newcomer RJ the raccoon gives them another option: go over the hedge and get food from the humans! The other forest animals quickly give in to RJ's blandishments, sneaking into the human world to get all the food they can grab. What they don't know is that RJ is actually in debt to Vincent, a huge, hungry bear. RJ has stolen all of Vincent's food, and Vincent has warned RJ that unless it's all back before the full moon, RJ will regret having stolen it, because then RJ takes its place!
