Lewis's comic strip, Over the Hedge, as well as in DreamWorks Animation's movie adaptation of the same name. In the film, he is voiced by Bruce Willis. The film of Over the Hedge begins as an unsuccessful RJ attempts to steal a bag of chips from a vending machine. It is then that he makes the mistakable urge to steal food from a hibernating bear named Vincent's cave. As RJ is about to leave with the food, he accidentally awakes Vincent, while opening a can of Spuddies (an obvious spoof on Procter & Gamble's Pringles). Once the bear realizes what RJ is trying to do, he threatens to kill him. RJ begs for mercy, and reminds Vincent that the food is still in the cave, so technically, not stolen. Unfortunately, though, as he says these very words, he accidentally elbows the wagon containing the food he's about to sneak away with, sending it tumbling down the mountains leading up to Vincent's cave. Angry at RJ, Vincent chases him down the mountain, and prepares to eat him, once he has him captured, but the raccoon manages to save his life by making a deal with Vincent: he can repay him. However, he has only one week to do so, LESS |
DreamWorks Animation's "Over the Hedge" |

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. 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 co-exist with and even exploit this strange new world called suburbia. Cast: Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes, William Shatner, Avril Lavigne, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Nick Nolte, Omid Djalili, Allison Janney and Thomas Haden Church
