I'm also giving it the benefit of the doubt because it was the first movie that I ever saw at the movie theater. So it's safe to say that the film has a special place in my heart. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Transformer , Anime F Open Season, released in 2006 as Sony Pictures Animation’s first feature film, stands as an entertaining and visually charming entry in the early wave of mid-2000s CG-animated comedies. While it may not reach the emotional heights or narrative complexity of some of its Pixar contemporaries, it delivers exactly what it promises: lighthearted fun, energetic humor, and appealing animation. The story follows Boog, a domesticated grizzly bear voiced by Martin Lawrence, who finds himself stranded in the wild just as hunting season begins. He’s joined by Elliot, a fast-talking, one-antlered deer voiced by Ashton Kutcher. Their unlikely friendship drives much of the plot, as both characters stumble through survival, freedom, and self-discovery in the forest. One of Open Season’s standout qualities is its character animation. The stylized animal designs—slightly exaggerated and cartoonish rather than aiming for realism—help set a playful, welcoming tone. The voice cast leans into their roles with enthusiasm. Kutcher’s high-energy delivery as Elliot especially stands out, bringing a frantic charm that matches the character’s scrappy underdog personality. The humor lands solidly for its target family audience. There’s plenty of slapstick, some clever one-liners, and a few quieter character moments that add heart to the story. While the plot follows familiar beats—domesticated character finds wild roots, mismatched buddies learn teamwork—it’s paced briskly enough that it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Musically, the film features a soundtrack co-written by Paul Westerberg of The Replacements, adding an unexpected pop-rock flavor. It won’t overshadow the visuals but adds texture to key scenes. If there’s a critique, it’s that Open Season plays things fairly safe narratively. It doesn’t push its story or characters into especially new territory. Some secondary characters and subplots feel underdeveloped. But for a studio’s debut animated effort, it establishes a solid foundation. Final Verdict: Open Season may not be a genre-defining animated film, but it’s a perfectly enjoyable one. Its mix of comedy, lively animation, and solid voice work makes it a good choice for families looking for a feel-good adventure. Rating: 7/10 — A fun, well-animated buddy comedy with enough charm to make up for its predictability.
