Gregerss

Gregerss is a fictional character who appears in the 2006 animated film "Over the Hedge." He is portrayed as a cynical and manipulative raccoon, driven by self-interest and a desire to hoard food for himself. Gregerss is initially presented as a member of the group of animals who discover a suburban neighborhood, but his true motives soon become apparent. He attempts to deceive the other animals and secure the majority of the scavenged food for his own survival, often at their expense.

Throughout the film, Gregerss’s actions create conflict and tension among the animal characters. His distrustful nature and selfish agenda contrast with the developing camaraderie and reliance the other animals have on each other. He is a foil to the protagonist, RJ, a more adaptable and ultimately more altruistic raccoon who learns to work with the others. Gregerss’s character arc involves a gradual realization that cooperation and trust are more beneficial than deceit and isolation. His personal journey leads him to eventually contribute to the group effort, albeit reluctantly at times. The film uses Gregerss to explore themes of greed, self-preservation, and the importance of community.
