Open Season 3

Open Season 3 is an engaging, family-friendly, animated comedy film that was released in 2010. This is the third installment in the highly popular 'Open Season' franchise and was directed by Cody Cameron. The characters in the film are voiced by talented actors that include Matthew J. Munn, Nika Futterman, and Maddie Taylor.

The film brings back audiences' favorite characters including Boog the domesticated bear voiced by Matthew J. Munn, Ursa the wild circus bear voiced by Nika Futterman and Elliot the loveable one-antlered dear voiced by Maddie Taylor. Of course, they're not alone and are joined by a string of hilarious animal characters from the earlier movies too.

The film opens up in the serene wilds where all our beloved characters are enjoying their tranquil wilderness life when the unexpected happens. Boog, who is starting to feel the tedium of his daily routine, is thrust into the middle of a comedic twist of fate that lands him thousands of miles from home.

The story begins with Boog feeling a tad lonely as his buddies are preoccupied with their families. When he stumbles upon a circus brochure, he cannot resist the allure of the exciting world of stunts, acrobatics, and laughter depicted within its pages. This sparks an impulsive decision to hitch a trip on a train to the circus, trading the quiet wilderness for the glamorous, fun-filled circus life.

Meanwhile, there's chaos in the wilderness as the war between wild animals and pesky humans comes to a head, further compelling Boog to leave. He leaves behind his one-antlered buddy, Elliot and the other wild friends, promising to return before the opening season.

At the circus, Boog meets Alistair the goofy Camel, who helps him navigate through this new world. Here, he also encounters Ursa, a circus bear who bears a striking resemblance to him. Boog quickly falls head over heels for Ursa's acrobatic talents and free spirit, which contributes to the movie's subplot.

While Boog is being drawn further into the flashy world of the circus, his friends back home are embarking on a hilarious, chaotic mission to bring him back before hunting season begins. This leads to side-splitting moments and funny exchanges among the team that include Elliot, McSquizzy the Squirrel, Mr. Weenie the dog, and others.

Without revealing too much detail, Open Season 3 involves switching places, mistaken identities, daring adventures, and unexpected friendships. There's also a touching theme of valuing true friendship and family over the attractions of the unfamiliar and glamorous.

The circus setting adds new, bright, and colorful dimensions to the animation, and the circus acts offer more fun and excitement. Moreover, the film is marked by its rib-tickling humor and a sprinkling of heartfelt moments that highlight the film's underlying message about the importance of friendship and family.

In terms of vocal performance, Matthew J. Munn does an excellent job in bringing Boog's character to life with his jovial and friendly voice. Nika Futterman offers an impressive portrayal of Ursa, the friendly, loving, and talented circus bear. Maddie Taylor once again lends her vocal talent to the adorable Elliot promising a lot of laughs along the way.

The film is perfect for a younger audience with its lovable characters, simple, straightforward narrative, light-hearted humor, and an important life lesson. Young viewers are likely to enjoy the animal characters, the vibrant animation, and the adventurous storyline. Adults too might find this an enjoyable watch with their kids owing to its clever humor, brilliant voice acting, and beautiful animation.
