{{Sony}}'s first animated film. Boog, a tame, 900-pound grizzly bear kept by Ranger Beth as part of the educational program, becomes too much for her to handle. Through a series of unfortunate events, Boog is released in the wild with no survival skills. Luckily he is accompanied by the deer who got him into the mess--a clumsy buck named Elliot. The two are pursued through the woodlands by a psychotic hunter, Shaw, who wants revenge on Boog and Elliot for wrecking his truck. While Boog just wants to get home, Elliot just wants to get Beth.

Notable for being the only feature film co-written by Mike Feiss, who created ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken''. Received two DirectToVideo [[{{Sequel}} sequels]] that managed to make this light and soft movie even LighterAndSofter.
