Growing up can be a confusing journey fraught with difficult choices. Boog (Martin Lawrence) is a domesticated Grizzly Bear who leads a perfectly happy life inside of Park Ranger Beth's (Debra Messing) garage, but a chance meeting with an overly energetic mule deer named Elliot (Ashton Kutcher) quickly changes everything and lands Boog high in the forest a few days before the opening of hunting season. Devoid of even the most basic survival skills, Boog and Elliot stumble through the woods and find themselves at the mercy of every forest animal from skunks to chipmunks as well as an evil hunter named Shaw (Gary Sinise). After unintentionally inciting and endangering an entire forest full of clever animals, Boog and Elliot come to the realization that only by banding together do the forest animals stand a chance of outsmarting the hunters and ensuring their own survival.  |
This first animated film from Sony Pictures Animation takes its inspiration from cartoonist Steve Moore (In the Bleachers) and features animals with human-like intelligence, a vibrant color palate, and skilled animation that makes everything from the wind blowing Boo's fur to the animals' wild trip down the falls simply breathtaking. While it doesn't quite live up to Over the Hedge, Open Season is an entertaining production that explores the difficult process of maturation, the universal need for acceptance, and the true value of friendship. Special features include a 15-minute featurette about the animation process at Sony Pictures Animation and Image Works, a 7-minute look at the recording sessions featuring the voices behind the characters, two deleted scenes, three short animated cartoon strips, a short "Boog and Elliot's Midnight Bun Run" that's an extension of the trailer scene in the movie, art gallery, beat boards, humorous commentary from the animals' point of views, and a full length commentary by Producer Michelle Murdocca, Directors Roger Allers and Jill Culton, and others. Activities include a "Voice-A-Rama" where viewers can hear specific lines spoken by alternate voices and a trivia "Wheel of Fortune--Forest Edition" as well as a DVD-ROM link to more online fun.

Amazon.com Review
When it was briefly shown in theaters with Men in Black II, the delightful animated cartoon The Chubb Chubbs had the awkward distinction of being funnier and more inventive than MIIB. The six-minute film won the 2003 Oscar for best animated short. --Jeff Shannon

 Hilarious!! July 3, 2008
One of *my* favorite animated movies. A bear who doesn't know he's an animal!!! Lots of laughs!
Great entertainment for my young son... May 28, 2008
These UMD things are great. My son is 2+ years and he loves it when I show him a new movie he can watch on the PSP. We just went on vacation with many hours on plane after plane. Open Season was watched many times without bothering anyone. I recommend it. We have a few of these movies for PSP including Incredibles, and Toy Story. They are great and handy.
Love it! May 27, 2008
Love all the characters. Love the dry humor. A great multi generational treat. I just bought it as a birthday present for my 28 yr old son-in-law.
Funny! Funny! Funny! May 27, 2008
What a great movie to watch!! My kids love this DVD, and my husband and I find ourselves wanting to watch it with them as well. I'm not against hunting...which this movie pushes the whole "SAVE THE ANIMALS--HUNTING IS HORRENDOUS" idea...but I think most movies are pushing an agenda...it's just about knowing who I am (and my family) and what I believe in, and just enjoy the movie for what it is...a movie.
Amazing Picture Quality, and fun for the whole family March 25, 2008
Open Season is another in a long line of anthropomorphic 3d animation films. It really doesn't bring anything new to the table, and is full of juvenille humor.
Despite (or possibly because)of all of that, my daughter and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's a fun romp through the woods that feels pretty familiar if you've watched "Over the Hedge", "A Bug's Life", "The Wild", or "Madagascar." Of course, this also made it a safe purchase as we love those movies.
The picture quality on this Blu-Ray is truly amazing. It's one of the best titles (along with "Cars" and "Chicken Little") to really show off to friends and neighbors. Every hair, leaf and feather is rendered in amazing detail. That alone can make this worth a purchase.
