Open Season (Pixar version)

Open Season is a 2006 computer-animated comedy film directed by John Lasseter and produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film follows Boog (Martin Lawrence), a grizzly bear, and Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a deer with a missing antler, as they hide and prank hunters during the open season. Originally in production as Sony Pictures Animation's first feature film, the rights were then sold off to Pixar for $10 million.

Released theatrically on November 10, 2006, the film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the animation and more mature subject than previous Pixar films but criticized the plot and script. However, the film was a box office success, grossing $286 million on a budget of $100 million. A sequel, Open Season 2, was released on March 7, 2014.
