1 What is Open Season about?

A It's about a domesticated bear who gets kicked out of the city. He's guided through the wilder-ness during hunting season by a one-antlered deer [“Elliot”] who thinks he's the bear's best friend.

3 How well did the animators capture you as Elliot?

A They did a pretty good job. They watched videos of us reading the voices. I was all over the place.

4 What prompts the animals to fight back against the hunters in the film?

5 Was it hard acting in a sound booth?
