The film tells the story of John Bennett, a Boston native whose childhood wish brings his teddy bear friend Ted to life. However, in adulthood, Ted prevents John and his love interest Lori Collins from moving on with their lives. The film is MacFarlane's [[List of directorial debuts|feature-length directorial debut]],<ref name="Fleming, Mike">{{cite web|url=http://www.deadline.com/2010/10/mark-wahlberg-back-in-buddy-comedy-mode-for-seth-macfarlanes-pic-helming-debut|title=Mark Wahlberg back in Buddy Comedy Mode|website=Deadline Hollywood|author=Fleming, Mike|date=October 25, 2010|accessdate=June 30, 2012}}</ref> produced by [[Media Rights Capital]] and distributed by [[Universal Pictures]].

A sequel, ''[[Ted 2]]'', was released in 2015. ==Plot== <!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT the ideal length is 400-700 words. As of this note the prose is 765 words. --> In 1985, eight-year-old John Bennett is an only child living in [[Norwood, Massachusetts]], a suburb of [[Boston]], who wished for his new Christmas gift, a jumbo [[teddy bear]] named Ted, to come to life and become his friend. The wish coincides with a shooting star and comes true; word spread and Ted was briefly a celebrity. 27 years later, John, now 35, and Ted are still living in Boston and are still staunch companions enjoying a hedonistic life. John is dating Lori Collins, who is from [[Philadelphia]]. As their anniversary approaches, Lori hopes to marry John but feels he could not move forward 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 of [[prostitution|prostitutes]]. 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 meet [[Sam J. Jones]], the star of their favorite film, ''[[Flash Gordon (film)|Flash Gordon]]''. John intends to stay only a few minutes but gets caught up in the occasion. Lori finds John there and breaks up with him. John blames Ted for ruining his life and banishes him. John and Ted confront each other about their ruined friendship and they fight but manage to reconcile after a violent brawl in their hotel room. To repair John's relationship with Lori, Ted arranges for an old lover, singer [[Norah Jones]], to help by having John express his love for Lori with a song during her concert. He does an [[off-key]] rendition of ''[[Octopussy]]'' theme song, ''[[All Time High]]'', by [[Rita Coolidge]] and 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. Lori is persuaded, but Ted is kidnapped by Donny, an obsessive stalker who idolized Ted as a child. Donny plans to make Ted his brutish son Robert's new toy. Robert even goes as far as forcefully ripping off Ted's left ear in response to his profanity, and warns him against using dirty language, with the implication that there would be consequences should Ted either swear or even mention explicit subject matter. Ted stitches his ear back on and attempts to escape. He 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. The chase leads to [[Fenway Park]], where Robert furiously declares that Ted belongs to him and not them and charges at them, but John punches him in the face, knocking him out, but during the chase, Ted is damaged and falls onto the field ripped entirely in half. A police car arrives, forcing Donny to flee. John and Lori gather Ted's stuffing and Ted relays his wish that John be happy with Lori before dying from his injuries. Unable to accept Ted's death, a distraught John and Lori attempt to repair Ted, which proves useless. Feeling saddened about the incident, Lori makes a wish on a shooting star. The next morning, John hangs his head while looking over Ted's dead body. Ted is magically restored and reconciles with John and Lori, encouraging them to resume their relationship. 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 continued their love affair. Sam Jones attempts to restart his career and moves into a studio apartment with [[Brandon Routh]]. Rex gives up his pursuit of Lori, goes into a deep depression, and dies of [[Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis|Lou Gehrig's disease]]. Donny gets arrested by the [[Boston Police Department]] for kidnapping Ted, but police cannot arrest him, as Ted, a toy bear himself, has no jurisdiction. Robert hires a personal trainer, loses a significant amount of weight, and goes on to become [[Taylor Lautner]]. ==Cast== {{Div col}} * [[Mark Wahlberg]] as John Bennett, Ted's best friend who as a child wished he would come to life.

Originally, [[20th Century Fox]] was offered to finance and distribute the movie, given its collaboration with MacFarlane for shows like ''Family Guy'', ''American Dad!'', and ''The Cleveland Show''. However, MacFarlane wanted a $65 million budget for the movie, 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 owing to its R-rating. Subsequently, Fox backed out and MacFarlane began to take the project somewhere else.<ref>{{cite web|last=Masters |first=Kim |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ted-fox-universal-seth-mcfarlane-347242 |title=How Fox Missed Out on Box Office Hit 'Ted' |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 11, 2012}}</ref> On April 12, 2010, [[Universal Pictures]] announced that it had acquired the full rights to ''Ted'' after it agreed to a $65 million budget he requested.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://deadline.com/2010/04/universal-embraces-seth-macfarlane-teddy-bear-comedy-ted-in-mrc-deal-31278/ |title=Universal Buys Seth MacFarlane's R-Rated Comedy About Teddy Bear In MRC Film Deal |website=Deadline Hollywood |date=April 14, 2010}}</ref> On October 26, 2010, [[Mark Wahlberg]] joined in the project as the lead actor.<ref name="MK" /> Two months later on December 14, [[Mila Kunis]], the voice actress for [[Meg Griffin]] from ''Family Guy'', also joined in the cast.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/14/mila-kunis-to-join-mark-wahlberg-seth-macfarlanes-ted_n_796732.html |title=Mila Kunis To Join Mark Wahlberg In Seth MacFarlane’s Movie ‘Ted’? |work=Huffington Post|date=December 14, 2010}}</ref> On February 23, 2011, [[Giovanni Ribisi]] joined Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis in ''Ted''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Goldberg |first=Matt |url=http://collider.com/giovanni-ribisi-ted-seth-macfarlane/ |title=Giovanni Ribisi Joins Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis in Seth MacFarlane’s TED |work=Collider |date=February 23, 2011}}</ref> Filming began in May 2011 in [[Boston]], [[Norwood, Massachusetts|Norwood]] and other locations in Massachusetts.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.onlocationvacations.com/2011/01/17/new-projects-coming-to-new-england-including-ted-and-moon-rise-kingdom |title=New Projects coming to New England |work=OnLocationsVacations.com |date=January 17, 2011 |accessdate=March 16, 2011}}</ref> Based on the standings on the left-field scoreboard, the climactic scene in Fenway Park appears to have been filmed on or around May 24, 2011.
