The Story of Furry Vengeance
The movie starts in the wild forests of Oregon. A prairie dog gets upset when a car drives by. The driver, Riggs, throws a cigar out the window. This makes a smart raccoon very angry. The raccoon signals a mink to push a big rock. The rock sends Riggs' car to the edge of a cliff. The raccoon then throws the cigar back at Riggs. Riggs yells at the raccoon, and the car falls down the cliff. Riggs then calls his boss and quits his job.
A New Developer Arrives
A new real estate developer comes to Rocky Springs. His name is Dan Sanders, and he is from Chicago. Dan's boss, Neal Lyman, gives him a big task. Dan needs to turn the beautiful forest into a place for new houses.
Dan's family is not happy about this move. His son, Tyler, and wife, Tammy, miss their old life in Chicago. They don't like living in Rocky Springs.
Animals Fight Back
The forest animals, led by the clever raccoon, won't give up their home easily. They decide to fight back against Dan. They cause all sorts of trouble for him. They mess up his work and interrupt his important meetings. They even try to make him look silly.
Tyler, Dan's son, learns something important. He finds out that Rocky Springs is a special forest reserve. He warns his dad that many people have tried to build there before. But they all failed because of the forest.
After a scary encounter with a grizzly bear, Dan gets stuck. He is trapped inside a portable toilet that gets tipped over. Because of this, Dan decides to take extreme measures. He orders a drill sergeant to capture all the animals. They are put into cages.
The Eco-Fair Chaos
Meanwhile, Dan's wife, Tammy, has to plan an "eco-friendly" fair. She works with a teacher named Mrs. Martin. The fair is sponsored by Lyman Enterprises. Tammy doesn't know that Lyman plans to cut down the forest. He wants to build houses and a shopping mall there.
Dan soon realizes Lyman's true plans. He decides to free all the captured animals. Once they are released, the raccoon and his friends cause a lot of trouble. They create chaos at the eco-fair. Guests and entertainers run away in a panic. Mrs. Martin calmly talks to an owl during all the commotion.
Lyman accidentally tranquilizes Mr. Gupta, a sponsor for the construction. Lyman tries to escape into an inflatable worm tunnel. The animals chase him. The bear drives a golf cart, pulling the tunnel away. After some convincing from Amber and Tammy, Tyler finally tells his dad he loves him.
Forest Saved
Three months later, the forest is safe. It is now officially a nature preserve. Dan Sanders becomes a park ranger. A poster promoting the preserve warns everyone. If you break the rules, you will have to pay a huge fine of $1,000,000.00!
During the credits, you can see the humans and animals dancing together. They dance to the song "Insane in the Brain" by the Transcenders.
