Why It's Great

 * 1) Good animation for 2006.
 * 2) It started the legacy of Sony Pictures Animation, who would later go on to create other great films like Surfs Up, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, Hotel Transylvania, and Spider Man: Into the spider verse
 * 3) The titular protagonists Boog & Elliot are likable, funny & interesting.
 * 4) Boog and Beth's relationship with each other is very emotional.
 * 5) Shaw is a very enjoyable and intimidating antagonist.
 * 6) The film features several funny moments such as the scene where Boog and Elliot burst into Puni-Mart and throw a wild party and Elliot's lullaby to Boog.
 * 7) Boog & Elliot's growing friendship throughout the film is charming, pretty funny, interesting & emotional to see. (Even if it's pretty silly & kinda predictable, but in a good way)
