Open Season (2006)
In the tranquil town of Timberline, a 900-pound grizzly bear named Boog (Martin Lawrence) has his perfect world turned upside down after he meets Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a one-horned mule deer. They both ended up stranded together in the woods during hunting season and it's up to them to rally all the other forest animals and turn the tables on the hunters.
Open Season 2 (2008)
After falling head over hooves in love with Giselle (Jane Krakowski), a slightly aged Elliot (Joel McHale)'s road to the altar takes a slight detour when his friend Mr. Weenie (Cody Cameron) is kidnapped by a group of pampered pets determined to return him to his owners. Elliot (who leads the way), a slightly aged Boog (Mike Epps) (who also leads the way), Giselle, McSquizzy (Billy Connolly) (who is referred to as "The Squizzmeister" by Elliot), Buddy (Matthew W. Taylor), and Serge (Danny Mann) and Deni (Matthew W. Taylor) go on a long, epic journey to rescue Weenie. However, the pets lead by a short-tempered toy poodle named Fifi (Crispin Glover) will not let Weenie go without a fight.
Open Season 3 (2010)
Boog (Matthew J. Munn) thinks that Elliot (Matthew W. Taylor) has distanced from himself since he started a family with kids of his own. In search for real friends, Boog stumbles upon a circus in Russia where he meets a talented female bear named Ursa (Melissa Sturm) (whom he falls madly in love with) and a devious look-a-like named Doug (Matthew J. Munn), whom Boog switches places with while Doug escapes. When Elliot and the other wilds find out about Boog's disappearance from Doug (as well as Fifi and the other pets who must put aside their differences), they all go on a rescue mission to save Boog and Ursa, with Elliot being the leader once again.
