What happens

Open Season is a 2006 American animated adventure comedy film directed by Jill Culton and Roger Allers and written by Nat Mauldin, Steve Bencich, and Ron J. Friedman. Produced by Sony Pictures Animation as its debut film, it features the voices of Martin Lawrence, Ashton Kutcher, Debra Messing, and Gary Sinise. The film follows Boog (Lawrence), a domesticated grizzly bear, who is let go into the woods, and teams up with a one-antlered mule deer named Elliot (Kutcher) to get back home before open season starts. Open Season premiered at the Greek Theatre on September 25, 2006, and was released in theaters in the United States on September 29 by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $201 million against an $85 million budget. The first in the Open Season film series, it was followed by Open Season 2 (2008), Open Season 3 (2010), and Open Season: Scared Silly (2015). A video game based on the film was released, and a television series, Open Season: Call of Nature, was released in 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
