The moral of the story here is that if you want to watch a worthwhile animated movie about someone turning into a bear watch 'Brave.'Īgain Disney has packaged a less-than-interesting sequel along for the ride. Like they plopped down a standard idea, couldn't think of anything original to combine it with, and simply went with it.

There are a few montages showing them growing as friends, then there's the standard fight, followed quickly by the make-up sequence. Koda (voiced by Jeremy Suarez) is adopted by Kenai and the two become quick friends. Kenai also comes across a young cub that's missing his mother. Of course no Disney animated movie would be complete without some wise-cracking talking animals to take up screen time so a couple annoying Canadian moose (voiced by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis, of course) show up to blather on and on without real purpose. You know, the standard coming-of-age stuff. By some magical force contained in the Aurora Borealis Kenai is turned into a bear to learn just exactly how tough it is to be a bear, and more importantly, how love conquers all. The recycled notion that one must learn a valuable lesson by being put in another's shoes takes over here. Blinded by grief and revenge Kenai sets out to kill the bear. The bear ends up killing his older brother. Because of his laziness and penchant for procrastination he gets his brothers into a dangerous tussle with a bear. His macho outward appearance has been challenged and he's worried that his brothers will make fun of him. Kenai has big dreams about what his totem may be, so when it turns out that it's a bear and that the bear means "love," he's a little disappointed. His two brothers have already received their totems – a rite of passage in the tribe – and he's finally going to receive his. I don't know why it bugs me so much, but why do moose have Canadian accents if Canada and its accent won't be around for another few thousand years? Why do the indigenous people speak like modern day kids? I guess I'm thinking a little too hard about it, but this stuff irks me from time to time.Īnyway, Kenai (voiced by Joaquin Phoenix) is a young scoundrel who isn't ready to grow up. This is an ancient time, but for some reason the people (and animals) populating this picture act strangely modern. The native Inuit's of the North find themselves battling the elements every single day. The movie takes place during the Ice Age. Smack-dab in the middle of it all was 'Brother Bear.' A movie that fits in with the lackluster films like 'Home on the Range' and 'Dinosaur.' The patented Disney magic just wasn't there.

Between 20, Disney produced underachieving and underdeveloped movies like ' Home on the Range,' ' Treasure Planet,' ' Dinosaur,' and ' Atlantis.' The two movies that tried to stand out amongst the chaff were ' Lilo & Stitch' and ' The Emperor's New Groove.' Sadly, they seem to get lost somewhere in this mediocre era of Disney films. After ' Fantasia 2000' things kind of went downhill. Zavvi exclusive steel book editions are also a fantastic gift idea for fans and collectors of all ages with limited edition and unique cover art.The early oughts weren't kind to the Disney animated feature film canon. The much-loved film was supplemented with a sequel, Brother Bear 2, which was released in 2006.ĭisney fans will simply love re-watching this magical adventure all over again in the comfort of their own home. LThe film is all about learning to see through another's eyes, feel through another's heart, and discover the true meaning of brotherhood. Koda's main goal is to show Kenai the real meaning of brotherhood. Now, brother hunts brother and Kenai's only hope for survival is to befriend his own worst enemy, a grizzly cub named Koda. Denahi, the middle brother, comes upon this bear and, thinking it killed Kenai, vows revenge. However, when Kenai finds that his revenge has made him transform into a bear himself as punishment. The story follows the adventures of Kenai, youngest of three brothers who takes revenge and kills the bear that killed his oldest brother, Sitka. The animated film is set long ago, as the Earth was emerging from the Ice Age. With its heartwarming story and detailed animation, this film is definitely worth watching again. The film was released in 2003 and was an instant hit with fans of all ages around the world. Disney fans will love our collection of official Brother Bear merchandise which includes DVD and Blu-ray!
