Very Pleased
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 Beths (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 Boos fur to the animals wild trip
down the falls simply breathtaking. While it doesnt 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 Elliots Midnight Bun Run thats 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. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami

When my 5 and 8 yr. old grandsons come for the night this is the movie
they watch at bedtime because they know it by heart. They seem to relax
because it doesnt take any brain power when you know every word. I put it
on one night and there was the today show. I had taped over the VHS so
we went straight to Amazon and ordered the DVD. It had come in by the
time they came back so all is well and they are usually asleep before the
movie is over. Thanks Amazon for saving me-I knew I could count on you!
