From the Publisher:

In the new action-adventure comedy Open Season, the first feature-length CG animated film from Sony Pictures Animation, a happily domesticated grizzly bear has his perfect world turned upside-down after he meets a scrawny, fast-talking mule deer.

Open Season is directed by Roger Allers and Jill Culton and co-directed by Anthony Stacchi. The film showcases the Computer Generated animation created by Sony Pictures Imageworks.

The Art of Open Season gives you an inside look at an explosion of color and talent, documenting every aspect of creating a CG animated film, from scripting and storyboarding to layout, animation, color, lighting, and visual effects with sensational full-color images throughout.

He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
