Plot

[edit]

In 1985, eight-year-old John Bennett is a friendless only child living inNorwood, Massachusetts,a suburb ofBoston.On Christmas Day, he wished for his new Christmas gift, a jumboteddy bearnamed Ted, to come to life and become his friend. The wish coincides with a shooting star and comes true; word spreads and Ted briefly becomes a celebrity.

Twenty-seven years later, John, now 35, and Ted are still living together in an apartment in Boston with John’s girlfriend, Lori Collins, and are still staunch companions enjoying a hedonistic life. As John and Lori’s four-year anniversary approaches, Lori hopes to marry John but feels he could not move forward in life with Ted around. John is hesitant about making Ted leave, but he is persuaded to act when they find Ted at home with a group ofprostitutesafter their anniversary dinner.

John finds Ted his own apartment and a job at a grocery store, where Ted begins dating his co-worker, Tami-Lynn. Lori learns that John has been skipping work, using her as an excuse, to continue to spend most of his time with Ted. John and Lori are invited to a party put on by Lori's womanizing manager Rex, but Ted lures John away to a party at his apartment, with the offer to meetSam J. Jones,the star of their favorite film,Flash Gordon.John intends to stay only for a few minutes but gets caught up in the occasion. Lori finds John there and breaks up with him. Devastated, John blames Ted for ruining his life and ends their friendship.

Ted and John later argue about their ruined friendship but manage to reconcile after a violent brawl in John's hotel room. To repair John's relationship with Lori, Ted arranges forNorah Jones,an old lover of Ted, to help by having John express his love for Lori with a song during Norah's concert which Lori and Rex attend on a date. John does anoff-keyrendition ofOctopussytheme song, "All Time High",byRita Coolidgeand is booed offstage. Lori is touched by the attempt and returns to her apartment where Ted confesses to his role in John's relapse and offers to leave them alone forever if she talks to John, in which Lori agrees.

After Lori leaves, however, Ted is kidnapped by Donny, an obsessive stalker who idolized Ted as a child. Donny plans to make Ted into his brutish son Robert's new toy. Ted manages to reach a phone to contact John but is immediately recaptured. Realizing Ted is in danger, John and Lori locate Donny's residence and track him to rescue Ted. They chase them toFenway Park,where John punches Robert, but Donny rips Ted entirely in half and he falls onto the field. Two police cars arrive, forcing Donny to flee. John and Lori gather Ted's stuffing and Ted relays his wish that John be happy with Lori before the magic in Ted fades away, making him a normal teddy bear again.

Unable to accept Ted's death, a distraught John and Lori unsuccessfully attempt to repair Ted. Feeling saddened about the incident, Lori makes a wish on a shooting star. The next morning, Ted is magically restored as a result of the wish and happily reunites with John and Lori, encouraging them to resume their relationship. Sometime later, John and Lori are married (with Sam Jones as the presiding minister), and Ted comfortably accepts having a life of his own as he and Tami-Lynn continue their love affair. Sam Jones attempts to restart his career and moves into a studio apartment withBrandon Routh.Rex gives up his pursuit of Lori, goes into a deep depression, and dies ofLou Gehrig's disease.Donny gets arrested by theBoston Police Departmentfor kidnapping Ted, but the charges are dropped. Robert hires a personal trainer, loses a significant amount of weight, and goes on to becomeTaylor Lautner.

Cast

[edit]

Production

[edit]
Seth MacFarlanewrote, produced, and directed the film, and provided the motion capture and the voice for the title character.

Seth MacFarlane's directorial debut is alive-actioneffort, with computer animation handled by visual effects facilitiesTippett Studioand Iloura. MacFarlane wrote the screenplay with hisFamily GuycolleaguesAlec SulkinandWellesley Wild.[5]MacFarlane originally wanted to makeTedinto an animated television show, much like his previous worksFamily Guy,American Dad!,andThe Cleveland Show- and later revealed in an interview withTheWrapahead of the release of the prequel series in 2024 that he had actually pitched the idea as a family-oriented series during his time working atHanna-Barbera,wherein Ted would be what MacFarlane described as a "leech on the family" as the boy went on to grow up, go to college and start said family. While MacFarlane himself admitted he "never did anything with" the original incarnation of the project, he came back to it when considering ideas for his first feature film, realizing it "seemed like an idea that had some legs... and since it was a movie instead of a TV show and an ongoing group of characters, it seemed like telling a love story from start to finish and using that framework was maybe a better way to go. So the dad became a single guy trying to get his relationship back together".[6][7]

Originally,20th Century Foxwas offered to finance and distribute the film, given its collaboration with MacFarlane for shows likeFamily Guy,American Dad!,andThe Cleveland Show.However, MacFarlane wanted a $65 million budget for the film, which Fox considered the price to be too high for the R-rated comedy film, let alone for a first-time director, and was skeptical about the film's future success. They also wanted it to have a PG-13 rating instead of an R, which MacFarlane, Sulkin, and Wild ended up writing a version of. However, despite this, Fox backed out and MacFarlane began to take the project elsewhere.[8]On April 12, 2010,Universal Picturesannounced that it had acquired the full rights toTedafter it agreed to the $65 million budget he requested and to direct the R-rated version of the script.[2][9]

On October 26, 2010,Mark Wahlbergjoined in the project as the lead actor.[5]Two months later on December 14,Mila Kunis,the voice actress forMeg GriffinfromFamily Guy,also joined the cast.[10]On February 23, 2011,Giovanni Ribisijoined Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis inTed.[11]Filming began in May 2011 inBoston,Norwoodand other locations in Massachusetts.[12]

The film was scheduled for release in the United States on July 13, 2012, but it was moved up to June 29, both to avoid competition withIce Age: Continental Driftand following the delay ofG.I. Joe: Retaliation.[13]Internationally, the film was released in Australia on July 5, 2012,[14]and on August 1, 2012, in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[15]
