After Verne urges the gang to let RJ in since his tail is not tingling, Vincent tears the metal roof upwards and yells to RJ that he is dead and swipes his paw at him then he leans toward RJ into the van, telling him that his friends are next. Angered, Vincent rips off the hammer and tries to smash RJ with it, missing him and breaking the window. Verne tells the porcupine children to lose Vincent, so they push a button that activates the hammer on the roof (which hits Vincent on the head after he pushes the rabbit off). RJ tries several times to make the gang let him in (all the while being chased by Vincent), but they refuse to do so since they still believe him to be a traitor. Immediately, Spike, Bucky, and Quillo take control behind the wheel, following instructions by the voice on the van's small screen. After Dwayne is knocked out from his van crashing to a halt when trying not to hit RJ on the wagon of food, Verne warns RJ of Vincent's presence and he lunges at RJ in an attempt to kill him. Soon, an enraged and betrayed Vincent gives chase and makes one final attempt to kill RJ and his best friends as well. However, RJ has a change of heart and rightfully decides to help his best friends out with the food instead of giving it away to Vincent. Vincent tells RJ that he doesn't need the others. When RJ says he already had everything he ever wanted, Vincent says not to worry about it since RJ said himself that he is a family of one. He then takes the moon (which turns into a Spuddie), eats it, and vanishes.įor the remainder of the film, Vincent is not seen again until near the climax, where RJ brings the wagon of restored food back to the bear, who is impressed and tells RJ that if he keeps up the good work, he will be just like him one day and claiming that selfishness and greed will take him far. Suddenly, RJ wakes up and realizes it was a nightmare. Soon, he looks up to the sky and sees the stars form Vincent, who tells RJ he will see him in the morning. As he is snoring away, Vincent's paw suddenly swipes him out of his tree (immediately waking him up) and the black bear tells him that time is now up (despite RJ saying he still has 6 more days) and opens his jaws to swallow RJ whole. One night, RJ makes his own bed in a tree, using a newspaper as his blanket.

Vincent then lets him go and returns to his cave. Then Vincent tells RJ that when he wakes up from hibernation in a week when the moon is full, his stuff had better be back where it was and to not even think about running away or he will hunt down and kill RJ. RJ exclaims that a week is too long and impossible for him to complete on his own, but immediately accepts this when Vincent threateningly squeezes his head. Thinking twice, Vincent decides to let RJ slide and lists down his possessions that RJ claims he can get, including the red wagon (which RJ suggests he can bring a redder one), the blue cooler, and Spuddies (which Vincent claims that "enough isn't enough" with). RJ requesting that Vincent allow him to return the food Terrified out of his wits, RJ tells Vincent that he can get all of his food back, saying that Vincent would have to do it himself if he ate him. Shocked and angered, Vincent pursues RJ in an attempt to kill him before he can escape, Vincent jumps in front of the raccoon, grabs him by the head, and opens his jaws to swallow him. Right on cue, a truck drives by and crushes the wagon of food. The wagon ends up stopping in the middle of the road and they are relieved and laugh at how they thought it was going to get ruined. RJ nonchalantly and slowly tries to escape, telling Vincent that he is just trying to feed his "family of one", but accidentally pushes the wagon of food onto the street, startling both RJ and Vincent. Then Vincent notices the wagon filled with his food and tells RJ he is going to have to kill him for trying to steal his stuff. Noticing RJ, Vincent asks the raccoon what he is doing in his cave and says that since the moon is not full, RJ woke him up one week early. He nearly succeeds in his mission, only to accidentally wake Vincent up when opening the can of Spuddies. RJ tries to steal all of his food, which are based upon commercials.
