Over the Hedge is a 2006 American computer-animated comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation SKG and distributed by Paramount Pictures (marking Paramount's first collaboration with DreamWorks Animation). It is loosely based on the comic strip of the same name by Michael Fry and T. Lewis.

The film's plot follows a raccoon named RJ who must reclaim food for a bear, ultimately manipulating a group of animals that had recently awakened from hibernation in order to speed up the process. Over the Hedge was released in the United States on May 19, 2006. It received generally positive reviews from critics, and grossed $340 million on an $80 million budget.
