A grizzly bear named Boog, domesticated by a park ranger, Beth, helps deer friend Elliot escape from Shaw, a hunter with a very curious mullet. When the Elliot decides to return the favour to help Boog escape from Beth he finds that Boog is very happy with his domesticated home. After a misunderstanding, Beth is convinced that Boog is reverting to his wild nature and releases him in the woods just as hunting season begins.
This animated film is not bad, maybe even quite good but it doesn't quite compare to any of the many other films such as Finding Nemo, Flushed Away or Shrek. The animation was quite...interesting, different from many other films. The voices were fine, the plot was reasonably thin but t still kept me entertained for the duration of the film and the kids thought it was great.
