The Characters
===============

RJ RJ is the raccoon voiced by Bruce Willis. It was interesting to see Bruce Willis play a very different role from his usual films. RJ is used to life on his own, he's never experienced being part of a family. He is charming but also a con-man. He is prepared to use the animals to get his food.

Verne He is the dependable turtle, voiced by Gary Shandling. He is very cautious and is afraid of change, he gets a tingly tail if he's not sure about something. But he is wise and he looks out for all his friends who he sees as his family.

Hammy Voiced by Steve Carrell (the newsreader in Bruce Almighty) he is a squirrel who is hyperactive, loves food, is very loyal to his friends and is just a fun-loving kind of guy.

Stella Stella is the loud-mouthed skunk voiced by Wanda Sykes. She brings a great comic aspect to the role, she says what she thinks and says her piece before anyone gets the chance to put her down about being a smelly skunk.

Ozzie and Heather They are father and daughter Possums and are voiced by William
