A bear and a man
SOME MORAL A scene from "Open Season".
What happens when a pet lover realises that his fondly domesticated wild animal has to be left to its natural habitat - the forest? What happens when his pet befriends a forest animal? What happens when the domesticated animal after spending some time in the forest, decides to go back to his master? What happens when he has to choose between his dear friends in the jungle and his loving master?
"Open Season", a beautifully made animated film produced by Michelle Murdocca and directed by Jill Culton, Roger Allers and co-directed by Anthony Stacchi, raises these pertinent questions.
A Sony Pictures Entertainment release of a Columbia Pictures, it is the story of a cute trained bear called Boog (voiced by Martin Lawrence) who lives with his master, a forest ranger Beth (Gary Sinise). Boog befriends a mule deer Elliot who goads him to drink. And they create a scene in a local convenience store.
It is here that Beth realises it is time to leave his dear pet in the jungle, now oversized and often erratic. So does he, in the safe confines of forest that is still untouched by the hunters. But if not the hunters, there is nature that plays some havoc. Boog wants to go back to his master. What follows after that includes some beautiful lessons in life, some eco-friendly messages, some teamwork and more.
The film with detailed backdrops sees its release this Friday.
