Open Season 2

This animation is about a bunch of wild animals who goes on a trip to rescue their previously domesticated friend, who got recaptured by is owner.

I find "Open Season 2" very similar to "Shrek", but a lot simpler and aimed at younger viewers. The story is fun and engaging. The dog, Mr Weenie is fun, and I like his German accent! Fifi makes me laugh too, as the vanity and beauty of Fifi clashes with his masculine voice and aggressive character. I liked the story as it celebrates friendship, and shows that sometimes it takes teamwork to achieve a common goal. The merry mishaps along the way are fun to watch.

The bear is super adorable but the dumb deer & the white poodle kill it because they're too irritating. This one has too much focus on the mean poodle & the clutsy dumb deer. I need more of the lovable bear. I will stick to the first one.

I'm an animator myself... so thereby an animation geek. I really liked the first open season movie. Didn't love it.... but liked it. When I saw it again a couple of weeks ago I thought it didn't feel as good as it did the first time. The story isn't just good enough to watch more then once... maybe twice. But I absolutely loved the look and design of the film. So when Open Season 2 was lying in the shelfs at the local DVD store I bought it right away. Hoping it would be as good or hopefully better then the first one. Just a nice animated film with some humor. I expected nothing more nothing less. But Open season 2 is a real let down. All I can say is that it feels like the just didn't rewrite the script. Stuck with all there first ideas and just rushed it out the door. Even the animation doesn't feel as solid as the first movie. It had some funny moments and some really nice characters. But it wasn't worth the money I paid for it. Maybe kids will love this... but as an adult... just don't expect to see a movie that will have the extra layer so you to can enjoy it as much as your kid would. Still... Boog the bear... for me is one of the best designs of a bear ever.

Elliott (Joel McHale) is getting married to Giselle (Jane Krakowski). His rack of antlers is broken once again. Dog Mr Weenie has escaped his owners to be wild. When his owners recapture him, Elliott decide to rescue him. The gang of wild animals must journey to the pet resort before Mr Weenie is completely brainwashed.

First off, they recast the voices. It's obvious that this is a franchise being downgraded. The animation hasn't changed. The level of danger is much lower. The stakes at risk seems much lower. It is full of bright colors but dull silly story. It's definitely a franchise lowering their expectations.
