Now that we've made one of the best computer-generated talking-animal-on-an-odyssey movies in the brief but busy history of the genre, can we please, please move on?
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

A little bit like Over the Hedge, and a lot like the upcoming Flushed Away, in which an animated house mouse is forced to fend for himself in the sewers of London, Open Season may sound a bit familiar, but it is never dull.
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
Rotten
With animated movies coming out every other week or so, mediocrity is becoming a rule. Open Season loses more points than most films because of its similarities to Over the Hedge, one of the few kids films that did it right this year.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

It's not deep and not totally original. But Open Season is whiplash quick with the gags and spot-on with the funny voices.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
