A good movie
Brother Bear could have been an excellent movie if the makers of the film would have come to the point a bit faster. It story build up slow in the beginning but definitely becomes better halfway. A Disney Classic. The story does make us think about certain things in life and has a clear message: we shouldn't judge by the outside appearance. We should try to understand the opposite party by slipping into their skin to be aware of their life and culture - even if that means crawling into the skin of a bear. Fighting it doesn't mean solving it, it only means getting rid of the problem for a certain time. A great way to teach children to understand what life is and can be all about. A good movie!

Great Family Entertainment
"Brother Bear" has elements that every member of the family can enjoy. Adults will love the new Phil Collins music, children will fall in love with the adorable bear cub, Koda, and everyone is sure to love the moose, voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. The theme of "Brother Bear" is seeing through another's eyes. Kenai is a member of the inuit tribe. When his eldest brother is killed by a bear, Kenai seeks revenge. To teach him a lesson, the spirit of his older brother turns him into a bear. He teams up with a cub named Koda and through their journey, Kenai learns to love him as a brother and sees the error of his previous lifestyle. "Brother Bear" is the kind of Disney film that leaves you happy and makes you want to watch it again and again.

I think there could have been better special features. 2-disc dosen't mean the special features are great. The first disc has a "Family Friendly" widescreen version of the film. "Brother Bear" was filmed with two aspect ratios. The first 21 minutes of the film was filmed in the standard widescreen size, and after Kenai is turned into a bear, the movie switches to cinemascope, which is really widescreen. The "Family Friendly" version on the first disc keeps the normal widescreen for the whole film. When you watch the second disc, the whole movie is in cinemascope, so the first 21 minutes has black bars on the side of the film, as well as on the top and bottom. I prefer the original aspect ratio on the second disc, but I wish they would have kept the first part of the film looking normal on it. There are special features for kids, including games, a sing-along, and more outakes that weren't on the ending credits. For adults, there is a 45-minute making of. I wish there would have been art galleries and a more extensive behind the scenes. But this release is good for now.

"Brother Bear" is going to remembered ten years down the road the same way that "The Lion King" is. It has all of the elements that make a Disney animated film a classic.

WOW~GREAT MOVIE
I am 13, and over my Christmas break at my grandparents house I went with my two sisters (9 and 3), aunt (33) and grandpa to see the movie bnecause it looked really cute. We missed the very beginning, but we all LOVED the movie. Any movie that can have so many ages interested must be good. The plot, for us older people-is extremely predictable, but that doesn't really werck the movie's quality. Also, the music and animation were amazing. I thought the movie was going to be just another little kid Disney movie like a lot of them-but it wasn't/
