    Sony Pictures Animation to release ‘Open Season: Scared Silly’ in Spring 2016

    MUMBAI: Sony Pictures Animation will be releasing Open Season: Scared Silly, the fourth installment in the titled series in Spring 2016.

     

    This latest production brings back Elliot, Boog and all of the beloved woodland creatures in a new comedy adventure, with David Feiss directing and John Bush producing.

     

    Feiss said, “My affection for these characters has only grown since we introduced them in Sony Pictures Animation’s first feature. We’re having a lot of fun bringing them back for a new adventure—it feels like a big party with old friends.”

     

    Most recently, Feiss directed four mini-movies for the home entertainment release of Sony Pictures Animation’s Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2, entitled Steve’s First Bath, Super Manny, Attack Of The 50ft Gummy Bear and Earl Scouts.

     

    Open Season: Scared Silly opens with 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 and their woodland friends band together to scare the fear out of Boog and uncover the mystery of the Wailing Wampus Werewolf. 

     

    Canadian computer animation and design company Rainmaker Entertainment, Inc. is serving as the animation facility for the production of Open Season: Scared Silly.

This VCD will serve as the ideal gift from parents to their children irrespective of the occasion.

    To coincide with the release of this VCD, a contest was run which asked kids to match character names to the picture of the character. Lucky winners got to win cool Open Season Christmas gifts.

It will be a delight for the kids to receive especially since it comes with a school kit as well as a board game. Kids will just love showing off the kit at school.”

    Protecting wildlife and nature is probably the finest way to demonstrate love and concern for our threatened planet. Boog and Elliot reinforce this key message amongst kids and parents, after all “Open Season” is all about ‘conservation and not allowing man to abuse wildlife’.
