Brother Bear is gentle and pleasant if unremarkable Disney fare, with so-so animation and generic plotting. Read critic reviews

Movie Info
Kenai (Joaquin Phoenix) is a young Indian brave with a particular distaste for bears. When his brother Sitka (D.B. Sweeney) is killed by one, Kenai in turn kills the bear, only to be magically transformed into one himself. To make matters worse, his other brother Denahi (Jason Raize) vows to kill the bear Kenai has become. Kenai's only hope is a magical mountain where he believes he can be changed back to a human, and he enlists a real bear cub, Koda, to get him there.

Dec 28, 2014The only thing worth watching this film for was the soundtrack by Phil Collins. Brother Bear is a dull film with cliches and bad jokes.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Mar 14, 2012When you need a passable family animation for an afternoon in, turn to "Brother Bear". It has nice moments and a good animation style, but the storyline was generic and predictable, with overplayed stereotypes of natives and of Canadians (mooses that constantly say eh?). It is enjoyable, but it is definitely not one of Disney's best, even in terms of original songs.Chihoe H Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2011Fun, but gets really in to spirits and crap. Great music, horrible story, good voice acting. I liked it, but didnt love it.Bradley W Super Reviewer

Nov 22, 2011A bizarre Navajo version of Lion King that strangely works in some ways. Sure, the plot had many holes in it, and there didn't really seem like there was any real conflict. However, this is probably the most spiritual of Disney fanfare, getting into discussions revolving around personality, the importance of family, and eternal destiny through animal todums.Jackson W Super Reviewer
