Open Season

The sun rises over the forest, signaling the arrival of spring and the end of hibernation for Boog, the lovable opossum. Eager to rekindle connections, he reflects on his past adventures with friends in anticipation of their annual guys' trip.

Boog reaches out to his friend Elliot, only to discover the significant changes in their lives. Elliot has started a family with Giselle, which leaves Boog feeling isolated and longing for the carefree days they once shared.

Realizing he is no longer part of his friends' new lives, Boog embarks on a solo journey. Accompanied only by his stuffed toy Dinkleman, he searches for purpose in a life now void of companionship and adventure.

During his travels, Boog stumbles upon the Maslova Family Circus, a vibrant spectacle adored by local wildlife. Captivated by the lively performances, he finds a brief escape from his feelings of loneliness.

Doug, a self-absorbed grizzly bear, sees an opportunity in Boog’s visit to the circus. He tricks Boog into swapping identities, promising to return the charming Alistair but ultimately uses this deception to assert his dominance over the wildlife.

As Boog navigates the circus's vibrant world, he forges a friendship with Alistair, who also feels neglected by his friends. This companionship helps Boog confront his own loneliness while navigating the complexities of his new disguise.

Boog becomes captivated by Ursa, a talented Russian-born grizzly bear whose performances astound him. However, Ursa initially holds contempt for Boog, mistaking him for Doug and judging him for his earlier selfishness.

Determined to win Ursa over, Boog takes on the challenge of walking the high wire. Upon successfully completing this tough act, Ursa reveals she recognized him all along, thus beginning a journey of trust and understanding between them.

Concerned about Boog, Mr. Weenie and his eccentric crew begin a rescue mission after spotting a circus advertisement. They commandeer an RV and rush to the circus, unraveling Doug's deceitful plan along the way.

Giselle and the cubs discover Doug's treachery and motivate Elliot and the woodland community to rescue Boog. Together, they prepare to confront Doug and ensure Boog's safety before the circus leaves for Russia.

At a critical moment, Boog faces a choice between his growing feelings for Ursa and his desire to reunite with his friends in the forest. Encouraged by Elliot and the gang, he ultimately decides to pursue his happiness with Ursa.

Boog invites Ursa to join him in the forest, a gesture filled with hope and companionship. Ursa, recognizing the impact of a circus without its star bear, agrees to this new adventure, symbolizing a fresh start for both of them.

In an unexpected turn, Doug returns to make amends with Alistair, showing that even he can learn from his mistakes. With renewed friendships, Boog's group heads into the forest, starting a new chapter filled with adventure.

With Ursa now part of their lives, Boog and his friends embark on their much-anticipated annual guys' trip. They revel in the stunning beauty of nature, singing along to Willie Nelson, cementing their bond as friends and family.

As Boog and his friends enjoy their newfound happiness, the circus crew sets off on their journey back to Russia. Doug and Alistair share memories of their global adventures, signifying the lasting friendships forged in the process.
