Open Season

A fairly generic American animated film from a series of similar ones. I was most amused by Elliot, who had a similar function as Scrat in Ice Age, a magnet for bad luck and embarrassment! Otherwise, nothing exceptional, but then again, nothing too bad. In short, a typical animated film with a simple plot, a few funny moments and a nice musical score. (07.08.2010)

The opening bear tap-dancing provides a hint of trouble, but in the end, the result is a relatively digestible film worth a single watch. In it, the animals sometimes make such brilliant noises that you will be willing to tolerate the fact that Lawrence intones like Will Smith and Ashton Kutcher sound like he’s castrated. It’s a serial product of contemporary animation No. X, making it a solid average in that it doesn't annoy and that it blows by in an hour and a quarter. (05.06.2008)

A very frantic cartoon, which may not be to everyone's taste, but it was the franticness that won me over. There is simply an irresistible anarchy in this forest, the animals are different levels of crazy, and some of them should be locked up in a zoo instead of a pasture. What does it matter that the bear and the deer remind too much of a certain ogre and a certain donkey? I really enjoyed all the crazy shenanigans and everything that can be (rightly) criticized about Open Season didn't matter to me. (28.12.2013)

It's the classic animation where you feel like there's nothing new, just the characters looking slightly different from how they did in other films. One overly chatty, one too serious, and both in roles that aren't traditional, except that they're animals. The plot is also kind of stale. This film failed to excite me. (16.03.2015)
