Talkie Zoo: OPEN SEASON 2

Just as funny as the first Open Season, Open Season 2 (2008;PG) is not a kids movie per se, but is hilarious and loaded with plenty of crude humor, if you're into that. Occasionally, I am!

This episode deals with Elliot leaving Giselle at the altar in order to save his dog friend, Mr. Weenie, from the onslaughts of his human owners. Elliot completely misinterprets the human owners' love and affection, seeing them as enemies who are torturing the dog.

While we do meet some new characters in the form of pets at a dog camp, we are also reacquainted with familiar ones. New voice overs don't diminish the hilarity.

Fifi is probably my favorite evil character. He's a toy poodle who wants to take over pet-dom in all sorts of evil ways. I thought at first the voice was done by John Malchovich, but it turned out to be Crispin Glover, and equally scary movie star. While Fifi uses everything from shock collars to Samsung technology to torture and maim wild and domestic animals who do not bend to his will, he finds all his plans backfiring on him. The not-so-dumb wildlife turn the tables.

Follow Elliot as he finds his way back to Giselle, helping her to understand what was really going on when he left the wedding ceremony.
