DISNEY - BROTHER BEAR(2003)
Well this one only took me 18 years to get around to
watching! Not nearly as bad as Black Cauldron! Anyway,
this is another great movie from Disney and really worth
watching, even though there's only one big song, "On My
Way"! Don't let Tina Turner turn you off to the rest of
the movie! A
A review from Amazon:
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
