The movie starts with Bruce Willis as RJ steals the bear's winter stores. In the process, he angers the bears and loses the food - chips and candy. And, he smashes the ice cooler. Of course, the bear is really really angry. He is about ready to eat RJ right then. The bear changes his mind and gives RJ two weeks to get back everything or he would be die.

In another part of the forest Shandling as Verne and his group of animals are waking up from hibernation. There food stores are basically gone and they are hungry. While searching for some food, they find that the best part of the forest has been walled off from them. In that area are huge houses.

RJ watches them and decides that he can use this group of rurals to help him gather the bear's food. He shows them how to get through the fence. He shows them the best food in the housing development. And they run afoul of the housing development manager that hires a pest killer. In the process, RJ becomes a part of the group, pushing Shandler out of the top spot.

Just a note: We had a great time watching this movie. My favorite character was Wanda and her non-smeller boyfriend.
