Sony's Open-Season (2015)- Scared S Silly

. . .

## Plot

Elliot telling a campfire story about the legend of the Wailing Wampus Werewolf that lives in Timberline National Forest. Domesticated Boog is terrified by the story and decides to "chicken out" of their annual summer camping trip until he knows the werewolf is gone.

Determined to help Boog overcome his fears, Elliot, Mr. Weenie and their woodland friends band together to scare the fear out of Boog and uncover the mystery of the Wailing Wampus Werewolf.

Also, Shaw, now a tour guide, witnesses an unseen creature in the forest and begs Gordy to allow open season and Shaw is determined to hunt down Boog and Elliot and catch the werewolf. To do so, he recruits his old friends Ed and Edna. Meanwhile, Elliot is heartbroken and catches the werewolf by himself alone after Boog angrily breaks up with him. A starving Mr. Weenie believes he is the werewolf. At Dead Bear Gulch, Elliot and Mr. Weenie are both caught by the werewolf with it reveals Shaw inside, but Boog and his friends leaped to the rescue. Shaw is defeated (in which he is revealed to be allergic to hornets) and arrested for impersonating a monster and creating a general panic, and open season is permanently shut down.

In the end the werewolf turns out to be real, but Elliot befriends him by dancing with him as he joins their camp out.

The next morning, Bobbie and Bob return to the R.V. and Bobbie tells Mr. Weenie that today is his birthday. Mr. Weenie says to the audience, "And so everybody did live happily ever after, including Mr. Weenie. The End".

Before the credits roll, the werewolf wants Boog to become a werewolf lady one more time, but Boog refuses.

## Reception

Renee Schonfeld from Common Sense Media gave it a positive review, saying, "Talented voice actors, along with a clever story and script, make this very funny film a cut above most direct-to-DVD fare for kids and families. four years later renee schonfeld liked that silly goof. It was renee’s Favorite of all time.

## Trivia

* While the film acknowledges the events depicted in the original film, it ignores the continuity seen in Open Season 2 and Open Season 3, as characters, such as the Domesticated Dogs, Elliot's fawn, and Ursa, are completely absent in this movie.
* Although it was released after the third film, it is considered a prequel because the absence of certain characters from the third film indicate it takes place before the events of the third film.
* The film appears to draw closer to the first film as it ignores the continuity seen in the following sequels as characters, Ursa, Gisela, Giselita, Elvis, and the pets, are completely absent. Characters from the first film that were not in sequels return, with the exception of Beth as she only makes a non-speaking cameo. It seems to be set after the second film and before the third film (probably to not have too many characters).
