In the action-adventure comedy Open Season, the first feature-length Computer Generated-animated film from Sony Pictures Animation, a happily domesticated grizzly bear (Martin Lawrence) has his perfect world turned upside-down after he meets a scrawny, fast-talking mule deer (Ashton Kutcher). Open Season also features Debra Messing, Gary Sinise, Jon Favreau, and Billy Connolly (as the head of a rogue gang of Scottish squirrels).

Includes the following special features:

• Stunning Visual Development artwork
• Step-by-step scripting and storyboards
• Collages

Jill Culton (credits include Monters, Inc., Toy Story 2) and co-directed by Anthony Stacchi (credits include Antz). The film showcases the Computer Generated (CG) animation created by Sony Pictures Imageworks Inc., an Academy Award winning, state-of-the-art visual effects and character animation company, dedicated to the art and artistry of digital production and character creation. Recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Imageworks has been nominated for its work on Spider-Man, Hollow Man, Stuart Little, and Starship Troopers.

Author Linda Sunshine is a former editor for the publishing company Stewart, Tabori & Chang, and the author of more than fifty books including twenty-six "behind-the-scenes" portraits of such notable films as E.T., Stuart Little, Catch Me If You Can, and Frida.

Steve Moore, who has contributed a foreword to the Art of Open Season, is an executive producer, and the creator of the comic panel In the Bleachers. He has worked as a sports editor for the Maui News in Hawaii, and then at the Los Angeles Times, where after eleven years he left to concentrate full time on the comic-strip, as well as develop other creative projects. Open Season is his first animated feature film.
