Brother Bear (2003)

My Collection, Part 1 - Animation (60 movies items)

"This is one of Disney's more recent successes. It tells a great Native American style story of a man whose ruthless hunting for revenge causes him to become a bear himself. This is a great story of redemption and learning a lesson. It features some very heart-wrenching moments, and the only comedic relief is in the form of two Canadian moose, one of which is voiced by Rick Moranis.

Favorite Disney Movies (28 movies items)

"The music's pretty. The animation's pretty. The story's...... sad. I like sad movies, but this one... it's miserable. I still like it though, but it's not one of my favorites. "
