The Nut Job

With a cold winter ahead of him, squirrel Surly (Will Arnett) and his rat pal Buddy plan to secure their foot intake by robbing a Nut Store. Unfortunately the nutty heist gets out of hand...

The animated caper is based on director Peter Lepeniotis' award winning 2005 short Surly Squirrel. The Nut Job marks the the first time Lepeniotis directs a feature length film. He does have excellent animating experience, however, having worked on Toy Story 2 for Pixar.
