- Lacklustre animated movie that may amuse the very young but otherwise recycles overworked notions; it suggests that Disney is a studio that has lost its nerve.

  Very funny
  
  The children and me all enjoyed this film, especially the Elk. A bit predictable and slushy but the humour of the Elks more than made up for that.

  brother bear
  
  I really enjoyed this film. Great to watch with children as well as yourself. The moral of the story is subtle and not too obvious.
