Directed by Jill Culton, Roger Allers, & Anthony F. Stacchi

Plot: A 900-pound domesticated grizzly bear and a scrawny, one-horned mule deer end up stranded together in the woods during hunting season and it's up to the duo to rally all the other forest animals and turn the tables on the hunters.

Review: I am a sucker for animated movies, but they have been lacking something for quite some time. With the exception of Over the Hedge and Cars, most of them have been either just bad or ok. I don’t know how well this film did, but I personally thought the trailers looked funny, so I looked forward to seeing it.

This movie is really funny. The animation was very well done and fit the story nicely. The characters were interesting and funny. The story itself is nothing original, but it is good. The voice over work for the most part was decent, but could have been better in certain places. There were some great laugh out loud moments. I highly recommend this movie for the whole family.
