The movie about animals stealing human food is Over the Hedge.
Synopsis of Over the Hedge
Over the Hedge is an animated comedy that centers on a group of woodland creatures whose lives are turned upside down when a large hedge mysteriously appears, separating their forest from a newly built suburban housing development. After waking from their winter hibernation, they discover their foraging grounds have been significantly reduced and fragmented.
A resourceful and cunning raccoon named RJ, who is accustomed to the human world, convinces the other animals that the ultimate source of food lies on the other side of the hedge—in the human suburban neighborhood. The film chronicles their hilarious and often perilous attempts to steal and gather large quantities of processed human food, from snacks to elaborate meals, often leading to comical confrontations with the homeowners and a determined animal control officer. The core of the plot revolves around RJ's plan to steal a massive wagon full of human food to replace a stash he owes to a formidable bear, while the other animals grapple with the ethics and dangers of interacting with humans and consuming their highly processed foods. This film provides a humorous look at the clash between nature and suburban sprawl, with the animals' quest for food serving as the central comedic and plot-driving element.
