The Nut Job (2014)

The story starts in the late 1940s fictional town of Oakton City. A purple squirrel named Surly and his mute rat partner Buddy reside in Liberty Park where their thieving reputation has made them outcasts. A group of urban animals led by Raccoon and his cardinal assistant are running low on food for winter. Compassionate Red squirrel Andie and glory hogging gray squirrel Grayson compete with Surly and Buddy to scavenge from a peanut cart manned by Lucky and Fingers who are casing a bank. The squirrels' efforts inadvertently end with the cart's propane tank exploding in the park after its cord was bitten by Fingers' pug Precious. The runaway cart ends up destroying and burning the tree, where the animals store their food. Surly is banished and Buddy follows him. The hilarious adventure continues.
