I watched it several times since I was a child and I still love it. It really has the Disney - atmosphere because of the nice soundtrack, the animation and the emotional scenes. Definitely worth watching it! :)

oh my beloved my spiritual awakening :sparkles::hearts:

While "Brother Bear" may not be as well-known or beloved as some of Disney's other animated classics, it still manages to deliver a powerful and heartwarming message about the importance of compassion and understanding. Overall, I would recommend "Brother Bear" as a family-friendly movie with great animation, memorable characters, and a positive message.

Heartwarming, if not as impactful as it intends to be.

'Brother Bear' leaves heartfelt feelings and features a cute story. It does get a bit too melancholic in moments where it doesn't need to be or where it's not set up perfectly. It can also feel a little predictable, but the twist is decent enough. Animation-wise it's fine, while that early aspect ratio stuff is oddly done.

The voice cast aren't amazing, despite the talents of Joaquin Phoenix (Kenai) and Michael Clarke Duncan (Tug). Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas are pretty amusing as Rutt and Tuke though. As a whole, I just don't feel the voices suit the characters greatly.

The pacing is pretty good while Phil Collins does a satisfactory job with the music, not sure how I feel about the ending though. Overall, it's very much mid-range Disney.

This movie always made me felt like it was trying too hard to be The Lion King

I remember watching this film in the cinema as a kid and to this day it‘s still one of my all-time favorite Disney films. Such a heartwarming story, beautiful animation and amazing music makes this a real treasure.

There's a good movie hiding there, but it takes a long time to find it.

I feel like this title is entirely made of leftover scraps from its studio's recent successes. Story concepts too boneheaded for The Lion King and Pocahontas, art that ended up unusable in Mulan, Phil Collins tunes that weren't catchy enough for Tarzan, and the bottom of Disney's gags and slapstick barrel.

The film was put together in a manner that makes events and interactions heavily contrived toward the message being preached without any of it being truly earned, namely characters that come off as dirtbags and never do quite enough to get themselves out of that vibe, yet an overlying tone that you should feel sorry and root for them by the end.

This might be a bit unfair because I'd watched Brave prior to this, but I'm guessing someone at Disney has a weird fascination with humans turning into bears which... I just don't see how anyone would find that exciting as a plot device.
