Open Season 3 is a 2010 direct-to-video sequel to the 2008 computer animated film Open Season 2 and to the 2006 computer animated film Open Season, produced by Sony Pictures Animation, directed by Cody Cameron, and produced by Kirk Bodyfelt. It premiered in theaters in Russia on October 21, 2010 and premiered on DVD and Blu-ray in North America on January 25, 2011.[1]

Most of the cast is new and some, from the previous films, took on additional roles. They are joined by new characters voiced by Melissa Sturm, Matthew J. Munn, Karley Scott Collins, Ciara Bravo, Charlie Bright, Dana Snyder, and John Cygan.

Plot

Boog plans an annual guys trip to spend time with his male friends. But his best friend, Elliot, has distanced himself from him since Elliot had started a family. Boog is disappointed since everyone else wanted to spend time with their families which makes Boog go on a trip of his own, which leads him to a Russian traveling circus.

While in the circus, Boog meets Doug, a lazy, scruffy grizzly bear who is tired of performing in the circus on the sidelines. He craves recognition as a full-fledged king of the forest, the ruler of wildlife. Doug convinces Boog to switch his life in the forest for Doug's place at the circus, which Boog later accepts the offer. But the whole thing turns out a scam since all Doug wanted to do was escape.

Meanwhile, Boog falls madly in love with Ursa, a female grizzly bear who was born in Russia and can effortlessly walk on a tightrope, juggle and dance. When the couple begin working together, they obtain much more as a harmonious duet than it might seem at first glance. When Boog's pals find out about Boog's disappearance, they, as well as the pets put aside their differences and hatch a rescue mission to save Boog and his true love.

Boog's friends arrive at the circus. They want Boog to return home, but he does not want to leave Ursa. All of a sudden, Doug arrives and apoligizes to Boog for tricking him. While Doug performs the circus acts for the audience, Elliot tells Boog that he can stay at the circus if he wants to. Boog does not want to leave Ursa or Elliot, so he convinces Ursa to go live in the forest with them.

Ursa enjoys life in the forest. Elliot's horn comes off his head, angering him. In a post-credits scene, Alistair and Doug are enjoying their tour around the world.

Cast

Home media

Open Season 3 was released on DVD and Blu-ray on January 25, 2011.[1]

Reception

Open Season 3 received mostly unfavorable reviews by critics and consumers, stating that it was composed of "...cheap actors, horrible story writing, and poor directing". One reviewer said, "This tiresomely predictable tale exemplifies everything that's wrong about straight-to-DVD animated sequels to big-budget mainstream films: the plot is utterly predictable and rehashes a lot of beats from the original effort, the major voice actors have been replaced by poor substitutes and the quality of the animation has dropped dramatically (most of the visuals are on the level of a video game or one of those cheap CGI Saturday morning TV shows)".
