"Brother Bear" was a great Disney film of high calibur.

A warrior hunter who hunts bears becomes one himself and sees the tests and tribulations that threatened the species of the nature the bear. During this time, the hunter, becomes aware of his crimes against the bear and the animals who roam the wilderness. Throughtout the movie , Keinai (Jaoquin Phoenix)\
then goes through a transformation of spirituality, morals
and good will.

Kenai is part of a warrior hunter that also shows how Native
American people love animals, contrary to what other people
in states do, huting animals for sport in the US. Sitka
(voice of DB Sweeney) is older and wiser native American soldier that was killed by an enormous bear although he loved the fauna. Kenai (voice of Joaquin Phoenix) demands justice and hunts
for bears.

He looks for the bear that killed his brother in spite of its other brother, objections of Denahi. Kenai finds the bear possible that killed its brother. Kenai during this fight with
the bear obtains a vision of the ghost of Sitka. Kenai causes possible the death of this bear. Despite a its shock, Kenai transforms into a bear!

Then Kenai he sees what it is like to live like a bear and sees some of his own false ideasand prejudices agaisnt the bear and nature itself. Kenai sees that bears like man, these animals have families who take to well-taken care of from their own means. Kenai also sees its own crime in killing a bear when he
learns that the bear has a cub named Koda. Koda is an orphaned lazy bear that is lost its mother. The twist for Koda and Kenai (now as bear) comes near the end when both make what really happened to the mother of Koda.

with it and eventually changes his mentality against the bears.

Disney have once again shown their incredible diversity for being able to bring to light different cultures and the struggles associated with growing up. This helps them steer clear of the mainstream fairy tales that they have built their name upon, which while creating a solid platform to work from, has given them a dedicated audience ready in ingest anything Disney throw a them. This is a powerful tool and should be used appropriately. Disney have done that with Brother Bear. This film depicts the struggle of a canadian inuit boy coming to grips with his maturing mind and the internal struggle he faces when forced by his spirit guides to live life through the eyes of those he despises.
As a film with tangible references to the similar struggles faced by todays society, it is worth watching over and over again. Made even more emotive by a spine-chilling soundtrack by legendary Phil Collins, Brother Bear touches a chord in all of us.
The DVD's interactive features allows the user to navigate their way through the various options a learn more about the film and its inspiration. An absolute must for the family.

Ive been watching Disney films ever since I can remember. Ive had a lot of changing favorites, but Brother Bear has to be one of if not the best ive seen. I was 16 when i first saw it (and i had kinda lost most my interest in disney at the time) while i was babysitting my little cousin, and my current perspective on disney totally changed.
one of my favorite aspects of the film is the incredible sountrack. contains some of the best musical numbers and songs ever done on a disney film. the storyline is deep and emotionally charged.
this is a film that you will want to watch over and over again.
my only complaint would be that some of the charcters are hard to get used to and are all-around annoying, but that wont get in your way of enjoying the film.
truly disney magic.

This movie was so great-the first 2 minutes were a bit slow, but once it got going-even I was captivated-the story is very creative, funny, and also a tear jerker-even my kids cried over the sad scenes. I could not stop watching it-my kids absolutely loved it. The music (I am a big Phil Collins fan)was wonderful and I could not get the songs out of my head for 2 days even in my sleep. I completely recommend this for your kids!!!!

We were on a vacation last week, and the place where we were staying had this movie to rent. Since my son loves animals, he picked this one out because of the animals on the cover. I was very impressed with the story here, which is one of redemption and learning to see the world through other people's eyes. It was much better than the traditional Disney stories of girls becoming whole by attracting the right sort of man.

It's also interesting for parents.
