Synopsis

Bruce Willis and Garry Shandling head up the all-star voice cast of the computer-animated comedy “Over the Hedge, based on the popular comic strip by Michael Fry and T Lewis.

Willis is the voice of a mischievous con-artist raccoon named R.J., and Shandling voices a timid turtle named Verne. When R.J., Verne and the rest of 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 neighbors. 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.

Rounding out the voice cast are: Steve Carell as Hammy, a squirrel; William Shatner as Ozzie, a possum who excels at playing dead; chart-topping recording artist Avril Lavigne as Ozzie’s daughter Heather; Nick Nolte as a bear named Vincent; Catherine O’Hara as a porcupine named Penny, paired with Eugene Levy as a fellow porcupine called Lew; comedienne Wanda Sykes as a sassy skunk named Stella; and Omid Djalili as a spoiled housecat named Tiger, who finds unexpected romance with Stella the Skunk.
