Production notes

A classic tale of a squirrel and his boy. Ten-year-old Andy and his best friend and pet (in that order) Rodney seek adventure in Andy's backyard and throughout the neighborhood.

Andy and Rodney, a know-it-all squirrel with a lot of big ideas, are two "partners in crime." Their adventures make Andy's dad want to kick the oblivious Rodney out on his furry butt.

Joining them on some of their adventures is Rodney's best squirrel buddy, Leon, who prefers the call of the wild to Rodney's life as a kept squirrel.
