Brother Bear Reviews

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.

Decent story line and cute cartoon, but the subject matter was a bit too difficult for my younger toddlers to follow. Lacked the adult humour that keeps my interest in many other popular kids movies. Would probably be enjoyable for older children who can concentrate on the plot for the duration of the film.

A quality disney movie. Apart from the annoying sidekick disney always put with the main character, this film really does work. The two mooses made the film for me, basically, they're the two guys who prop up the bar in cheers - excellent stuff. It's cliched and the plot obvious, the ending guessable, but the kids thoroughly enjoyed it and watched it twice in a single sitting, enjoying it more the second time around. Disney back to their best (well second best, they haven't topped Tarzan yet!!) Ordered my own copy of Brother Bear today. Definately one for your kiddies collection.

Not of Disney quality

I'm a big disney fan, and this one had all the technical aspects of most disney movies, but was strongly lacking in construction. In the past, Disney has been good at aiming their movies at both 'children' and 'adult' level. This one seemed to be aimed at a level of about 5 years old, and definitely did not keep my interest as may other Disney movies have in the past.

Oh brother is this film good

This is a suberb film for children I laughed and cried its not predictable and its got a great story line its really good.

Not a classic, but worth a look....

As with all Disney product, you can drop the kids in front of it and not worry that it will fail to please. It is true that there's not the same level of cleverness when compared with The Lion King, but as I was completely bored with Aladdin, I thought this was better. The moose(s)! helped provide a running gag that helped things along, and the music (by Phil Collins) gave it an extra lift. Toy Story/Shrek it isn't, but it carries a useful message and helps children identify why intolerance is wrong.

Another great cartoon.

Nice to see another great feature from Disney not a Toy Story but kept the kids entertained for days.

Disney has lost some of the edge that the earlier movies had - ie Snow White, Jungle Book etc - but still an good film. Don't agree with the comment about one for the younger kids, slow starting and I do not know a single young child who has an attention span of more than 10mins these days. Not enough to grip the audience. Was not impressed with one of the opening scenes where the older brother is basically 'gobbing' on the younger brother - not exactly something we want to promote to children.

It was a nice little film (for women)and told a good enough tale but did lack some of the edge that more recent films such as Finding Nemo have.

Disney seem to be punting out too many movies now and the are losing their spark compared with the original Walt Disney films. I was desperate to see this after the trailers but now wonder why. Worth watching but nothing spectacular.

Good solid storytelling

This is about as oiginal as Disney can be these days. Really solid voice acting and nice animation but the story really stands out as being very unconventional.

Going back to the old Bambi days where characters are very real and don't have to break into song every five minutes.

A good adventure that can appeal to adults as much as children and an excellent look at another culture.

Disney Magic

With the current onslaught of CGI cartoons filling our cinema screens it?s a crying shame that the traditional Disney pictures are to be stopped. I would take the likes of ?Brother Bear? over the hollow cash-ins of ?Shark?s Tale? or ?The Magic Roundabout?.

?Brother Bear? follows the story of the youngest of three brothers who goes against his teachings to seek revenge. As a way of punishment he is transformed into a bear. He soon finds himself a young cub that won?t stop bothering him, so they both set of to discover adventure.

This is a heart warming story that I really enjoyed - a return to form after Disney?s poor ?Treasure Planet?. The music was good and the animation excellent ? the entire package had that Disney ?Magic?. I highly recommend this to children and adults that enjoy Disney films. It?s just a crying shame that this may be one of the last 2D films Disney ever makes.
