Open Season 2 (2008) (Blu Ray) - 6/10

I really enjoy the first Open Season movie more and more after repeated viewings but knew that this direct to Blu Ray sequel probably wouldn't be as good even though it still had the same characters. The main thing you notice is the lower budget of the animation on this film, the characters and background animation aren't as crisp and detailed as you would find in a theatrical release though the colors and landscapes still look quite good for these animals to interact with humans in. There are some funny gags that run throughout the movie regarding a poodle and the weiner dog but I found this plot to be lacking on the action and suspense that made the first one so good. What's entertaining to me is when these animals start plotting against the humans to help their friends escape whether it be unleasing the bear to terrorize a water park and motor home or just going crazy to scare the bejesus out of them. Unfortunately the ending is so childish and hollywoodized that you can't help but be disappointed to where else it could have gone but it's always fun getting more from these characters that you like.
