Elliot arrives in Timberline, missing an antler, and strapped to the hood of a truck, courtesy of the paranoid über hunter Shaw (Gary Sinise). Against his better judgment, Boog frees Elliot.

With hunting season upon them and Shaw in hot pursuit, Boog and Elliot must learn to work together and unite the woodland creatures. In a rowdy, madcap battle, they make the woods safe once and for all by turning the hunters into the hunted.

Musical

Untitle Julie Taymor Project, an original musical film, is a love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock 'n roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, the killing fields of Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. Combining live action with painted and three-dimensional animation, the film springs from the imagination of renowned director Julie Taymor (Frida, Titus, and the Broadway smash hit musical "The Lion King") and writers Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais, and features an array of Beatles songs that have come to define the period.
