During this, RJ confesses to Verne (and the others) that he has to hand over the food to Vincent and that he will be killed by him if he does not. RJ and Verne get into another argument, this time over a can of "Spuddies" potato chips. Working together under cover of darkness, the animals get the food. He also discovers that Gladys has just restocked her pantry with a large food supply for an upcoming party and concocts a plan to get past the exterminator-planted traps in her backyard.
Later, RJ helps Verne reconcile with the others. RJ blames Verne who, while trying to defend himself, makes a comment that hurts the others' feelings. Eventually, the wagon and food is destroyed. Unfortunately, this attracts Nugent's attention, who chases them across several lawns. Fed up, Verne tells RJ he doesn't know what he is up to, but his tail is tingling and says he is now listening to it and putting him foot down. However, Verne doesn't believe RJ, thinking he is tricking him again. Startled, RJ tells Verne to be quiet and follow him. RJ then notices a chain, which connects inside a nearby doghouse.
After realizing the food is missing, RJ tries to stop him, resulting in an argument between the two. Worried for his family's safety, Verne decides to return the food to the humans so they will not kill them. RJ helps them scale the hedge, though Verne recalls the Verminator. Fortunately, they manage to get enough food to keep them from starving. RJ, who sees the entire commotion, convinces the other animals that it is easier to raid the humans' garbage for food rather than forage for it. Soon, RJ stumbles upon the forest community struggling to find food. Then he mercilessly throws RJ aside and goes back to his cave to sleep for the winter. Scared, RJ begs for mercy and promises to return all of the food, so Vincent decides to give him a week to return the food to him because if not, he will hunt him down and kill him he also tells him to not think about running away. Angry at RJ for letting this happen, Vincent turns on RJ and chases him, preventing him from escaping, then proceeds to grab RJ by his head and open his jaws to swallow him. While trying to leave, he accidentally wakes up Vincent and loses both the food and the red wagon that it is on when a truck runs it over. He becomes so desperate that he tries to raid a large food cache belonging to Vincent. When he fails, RJ tries with various objects, but still fails. RJ is first seen trying to get snacks from a vending machine.
Soon, he started to make wrong choices and became a thief, conman, and briber in order to obtain food for himself to survive. RJ grew up in a family of raccoons and had a happy, carefree life until they were killed by an unknown person using a weed hacker.Īfter losing his parents, RJ was forced to live on his own.
