Disney proudly presents BROTHER BEAR, an epic animated adventure full of comedy and heart. With five great new songs from Academy Award winner Phil Collins (1999 Best Original Song, “You’ll Be In My Heart,” from TARZAN(R)), it’s “pure Disney magic from beginning to end!” raves Clay Smith of Access Hollywood. When an impulsive boy named Kenai is magically transformed into a bear, he must literally walk in another’s footsteps until he learns some valuable life lessons. His courageous and often zany journey introduces him to a forest full of wildlife, including the lovable bear cub Koda, hilarious moose Rutt and Tuke, woolly mammoths, rambunctious rams, and more! BROTHER BEAR is “a charming, enchanting story for kids of all ages!” ( Larry King, CNN)Brother Bear has a dramatic story–after he kills a bear, a young hunter named Kenai (voiced by Joaquin Phoenix, Gladiator) in prehistoric North America is turned into a bear himself and hunted by his own brother–but the animated movie’s tone is more earnest and warm than tragic, focusing on the unfolding relationship between Kenai and an orphaned bear cub named Koda (voiced by Jeremy Suarez). However, it’s often the comic supporting characters who prove the most popular, and a pair of moose voiced by Rick Moranis and Doug Thomas in their McKenzie brothers/Canadian dude mode (from SCTV and the movie Strange Brew) will win many fans. The songs by Phil Collins are typically negligible, but the hand-drawn animation is lush (occasional flashes of computer-generated animation clash with the movie’s overall look). Kids will also enjoy the mammoths; no sabre-toothed tigers, unfortunately. –Bret Fetzer

One word.Sucks.Man that movie was HORRIBLE…nobody here ever notices that it’s not an entertaining movie about brotherhood,it’s a moralistic lecture about how we’re just like BEARS!!!!!!!COME ON!!!!!!Bears are better than people.That’s the latest dreckwad our favorite mousehouse gives us.I saw that even the ‘bad’ reviews liked Rutt and Tuke,but man they were awful.The whole thing is heavyhanded politically-correct lecturing.Bad,bad,bad,bad,bad.

This is a dreadful film. It’s a cheap Bambi remake for the 40 somethings who cried the first time Mummy Dear got plugged, sneered the second time and then, finally on the third showing, cooed over their offspring when Thumper revealed the inner beauty of life.
Similarly, this film is all about death, and America’s continuing inability to come to terms with the ‘big one’. Apparently we’re to be comforted by the knowledge that dead relatives can always stroke our chin when we’re at our lowest ebb and that Grandad is now an eel.
To be fair, my five year old son was delighted by the cub and then thoroughly confused (but not upset) by the ending…why did his mummy come back from heaven and then leave him…again ? The answer, my son, is that there’s nothing more callous than a dead mummy bear…except for a sicko Disney executive.

…now all the animated movies are like this.Liberal and just plain awful so much that not even a liberal himself would find it watchable.Even the newagers who obviously fueled its release would hate it.
