<\/a><\/p>\r\nIn 2006, Sony Pictures Animation produced their first film, Open Season<\/em>. The film focused on a domestic bear named Boog, voiced by Martin Lawrence, a wild deer named Elliot, voiced by Ashton Kutcher, and the adventure they would have battling hunters while developing a friendship. The film was successful enough to make Sony Pictures Animation a major player in the animation industry creating future films such as the The Smurfs<\/em> series, Hotel Transylvania<\/em>, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe film also spawned two direct-to-DVD sequels, Open Season 2<\/em> and Open Season 3<\/em>, released in 2009 and 2011, respectively. Now, according to Animation Magazine<\/a>, a third sequel is planned for the series. Open Season: Scared Silly<\/strong><\/em> is said to be about Elliott and other woodland creatures helping Boog feel less afraid about the so-called Wailing Wampus Werewolf that apparently lives in the forest.\r\n\r\nThe film is being directed by David Feiss (Cow and Chicken<\/em>, Super Manny<\/em>, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2: Earl Scouts<\/em>) and produced by John Bush (The SImpsons<\/em>, Family Guy<\/em>).
