“I got the idea for Open Season from stories I’d read about these wild animals who would become somewhat domesticated by living in the outskirts of mountain resort towns like Ketchum, Idaho. One day the animals would invariably do something to seriously annoy the townspeople and they would be tranquilized and moved to the wilderness. I always wondered what happened once they were dropped off in the wild, having lived on leftovers most of their lives — how did they survive in the woods?” – Steve Moore

Produced and developed by Boise’s Steve Moore (who created the acclaimed syndicated comic strip In the Bleachers), Open Season is an animated comedy for the entire family that is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.

Boog (voiced by Martin Lawrence), a domesticated grizzly bear with no survival skills, has his perfect world turned upside down when he meets Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a scrawny, fast-talking mule deer who arrives in town unconscious, missing an antler and strapped to the hood of a truck belonging to fanatical hunter Shaw (Gary Sinise).

When Elliot awakes, Boog finds Elliot’s rapid fire pleas hard to ignore, and he releases the hapless mule deer. However, as if to prove that no good deed goes unpunished - Elliot tracks Boog down to his home and lures him out for a crazy night on the town - a bender which results in both of them being relocated to the forest with open season only three days away. Hilarity ensues!
