Open Season
Directed by
Sony Pictures makes its animated debut with an eco-adventure feature film. In the film, Boog, a pet grizzly bear ill-equipped for survival, meets Elliot, a skinny, fast-talking mule deer, and his life is turned upside down. Convinced by Elliot to leave his comfortable refuge in a park ranger's shed to explore the outside world, he soon finds himself caught in a spiral of events beyond his control. Stranded in the forest just three days before the hunting season opens and forced to quickly acclimatize, Boog and Elliot join forces with other wild creatures to escape unharmed. Due to its themes of forest conservation, the film is part of Greenpeace's "Kids For Forest" educational project.
«The idea for the film was suggested by cartoonist Steve Moore, whose daily cartoon strip, “In the Bleachers”, often takes up the theme of hunter and hunting and is syndicated in numerous newspapers. We wanted to explore the secret life of animals in order to understand what they're doing behind our backs. So I asked myself, “What does my cat or dog do all day? Watch TV? Open the fridge? And most of all, what do they think of me?”. This is why we put a variety of animals in the film that have a different relationship with humans».
