I finally got around to watching it!! I can see why so many people love this film. Really loved the focus on approaching hardships with love rather than hate in order to grow. Also the concept of someone turning into a bear is just so much fun. Enjoy 🙂

Not sure if this is true:
But I swear I read somewhere this movie took about 10 years to make.
Something I noticed for the first time, the bears have more human like eyes with irises.
While the humans have black pupils only (something that we see in animal animation more).
The story telling in that alone….. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Its a Disney movie, of course someone dies in the beginning.
It's worrying that you state that being someone who loves is a fromal female trait.
I'm a Native American and gender roles weren't so strict and hardcore for us and even now. It's just the westernized folks who still remember that thier grandmother's wore long skirts and did the hard work of raising, cooking and trying to make a home out of dirt and then the men making wars for themselves and killing each other off for simple gold and greed and then now survival. Having a heart is something we all have. NOT just a female trait. If it was that black and white of a world, then why are we all still trying yea? I have 8 brothers and their favorite movie's are the Princess Diaries and Devil Wear Prada. We all watch them when together on holidays.
Anyone from anywhere can enjoy a good story. All my brother know that I am just as strong cause I broke 2 of their noses by playing around. Well, we'd have playful battles. Beating eachother up in the rainy mud. We were kids. There was no gender.
bear cubs stay with their mother for about 16-17 months😄
“Aww he’s a Disney princess now!” is the best thing I’ve heard in a while 😂
You should watch Balto!! ❤
STG I COULDN’T WAIT FOR YOU TO WATCH THIS ONEEEEE
I especially love the beginning and ending of this movie. The middle part is… fine.
I know you watch movies, BUT I feel like you should play Journey for us, it takes like 2-3hours and it is like a movie and you would love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hate is not really the opposite of love. Hate comes from love. Kenai hated the bear because he loves his brother. His hatred does also come from not understanding bears, which comes from his fear of bears, and he fears them because he loves his people & being alive.
"love is what drives men to do insanely heroic things." SO TRUE!! men in war have courage because they love those at home, men are protective because they love their friends & family, etc. thank God for men driven by love! 🖤 this movie makes me absolutely SOB every single time. so glad you love it!!
I love ur reactions. Can u please react to STRANGER THINGS🤗
This will always be one of my favorite movies, and I'm always so happy when another reactor brings more knowledge of it to the internet!
Speaking of criminally underrated – Brother Bear is actually one of the few Disney animations where the sequel is at least on par with the original if not even better imo. I highly, highly recommend it.
Единственный мультфильм, в котором нет ни одного злодея!!!
Любимейший❤❤❤❤
Watch despicable me 3!!!!
can you react to cats dont dance
There is a behind the scenes interview that explains exactly why they opted for a song instead of dialogue with the "confessing" scene.
I love this so much, it gives me Land before Time X Lion King, with the conclusion of shrek (fiona staying an ogre).
it was underrated and noone was interested in it back when it first came to cinema, and it didn't change. I guess i always love the unpopular stuff the most.
if u wanna stay on talking animal track, i recommend an other underdog: Oliver & Co.
Another underrated Disney movie is The Fox and the Hound. Like Brother Bear, I think that one also handles precious life lessons very well. It is, however, much darker and scarier than Brother, at least in my opinion. Still love that movie though, I hope you'll react to it too one day 🙂
Please do the 2!! Love só much ❤
Yes the Moose are meant to be Canadian’s. Pretty sure it’s Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, also known as Bob and Doug McKenzie, eh.
I love this movie. But not even for the bear part but because of three brothers, mainly because of Denahi and what he went thru. Also not fun fact, voice actor of Denahi commited su/ide ;_;
I don't get why this movie is so underrated and criticized most of the time. In my opinion, it was one of the last good Disney movies with a beautiful message, heartbreaking moments, incredible animation….Everything you need in a (good) Disney movie! Kenai's transformation into a bear still gives me MASSIVE chills to this day! ❤️🐻
I didn’t know people didn’t like this movie! It’s amazing and sweet.
You have to watch the second movie! I cry every time! 🙁 <3
This is still one of my favourite Disney movies
As a child I viewed this movie much more shallowly. Now it's up there in my favorites with Lion King. Grief and balance of nature are such good themes. If you watch Cinema Theraphy's episode about Brother Bear, they have the director of the movie as the guest and he tells about the very real place where the grief and brotherhood theme comes from.
Brother bear is one of my favourite, I remember watching this as a kid and it changed my whole perspective of life, I'm so glad you came around 😭
I think you would enjoy the sequel brother bear 2
I'm seeing this movie for the first time too I didn't know Brave wasn't the first to do this 😅
Another underrated movie (not animated) is Mighty Joe Young! I highly recommend watching it
yes, they're in canada. the salmon run is located in the rockies. 🙂 this is based on native american culture, even more prevalent in canada.
Watch the black cauldron, it’s a amazing movie that most people don’t know about
Personally i loved the song covering his speech to Koda. I'm sure it could have been done with dialogue but the song did great with the emotional impact. That and the Opening song are actually my favourites of this film.
Thank you for finally covering this film though; one of the greats that should be shared with future generations of kids.
Also, i know only your patrons can suggest movies/ shows to watch (which makes sense) but i still want to leave this suggestion in case it reminds others of this movie.
Two Brothers (2024 movie) is one i think worth reacting to.
How do I try and explain this movie's lackluster reception?
Disney's primary audience for their animated movies – are 25-30 year old PARENTS taking their YOUNG KIDS. Now, I know this is quite different in other places in the world, but in the US, Disney's primary market area, those parents are usually church goers – and Disney is one of the only movie studios they trust, in spite of the fact that Disney doesn't actually like them all that much (and this was true back in the late Eisner era as much as it is today). This is also why movies like Atlantis and Treasure Planet failed. They were made for older kids and teens – but the older kids and teens saw "Disney movie" and thought "it's made for 6-year-olds" and they didn't go. On the other hands parents saw the explosions and sexy women in the commercials and thought "definitely NOT made for young kids" and they didn't go, either. And both movies flopped at the box office (and have since developed quite the fan base – because they were actually pretty darn good movies, even if they didn't fit the Disney stereotype).
So why was Brother Bear not well liked, when it's clearly made more for little kids?
This movie came out in 2003. For those of you too young to remember, this was the height of Satanic Panic (phase two) sparked by the popularity of Harry Potter (the first Potter movie came out in 2001, the fifth book, Order of the Phoenix, came out in 2003) and many in the Christian community were convinced it was the most demonic thing to come down the pike since D&D. And those generally religious parents – already hyper-sensitive to any sort of mystical/magical aspects in the entertainment their kids might be exposed to – weren't interested in a movie featuring New Age, pseudo-shamanistic spirituality. Even though it's got a pretty good script and some amazing animation, Disney's core audience weren't very happy with the movie, especially when there were other options out there (like the Veggie Tales Jonah movie or Finding Nemo or popping the prior year's Disney offering Lilo & Stitch into the DVD player) or going to Return of the King (but not with their young kids – it was PG-13) instead of the Disney movie that Christmas.
Agree or disagree with their view – that was still their view. And it's why the movie's reception was lackluster (it, at least, made money – unlike Treasure Planet).
Why didn't you watch the credits? There are hilarious after scenes in it 😂
I don't know why this film seems to be overlooked. I loved it (except for the mammoth riding scene). It looks good, great message, transformation, cool songs.
Now you need to watch Brother Bear 2!!!!!!
