Boog, a domesticated 900lb. Grizzly bear finds himself stranded in the woods 3 days before Open Season. Forced to rely on Elliot, a fast-talking mule deer, the two form an unlikely friendship and must quickly rally other forest animals if they are to form a rag-tag army against the hunters.
What critics thought
Critics largely dismissed Open Season as a formulaic animated comedy leaning on recycled jokes and unremarkable visuals, though family audiences responded more warmly than reviewers did. The gap between critic indifference and audience approval is the real story here — adults found little new ground, while kids came away satisfied.
“If your kids like poop jokes as much as I do, Open Season will put a big smile on their faces”
Kevin Smith·Ebert and Roeper
“It's just okay, the animation is uninspired”
