PRESS
This is an all around good family Disney film. It has funny and clean humor. The two side character moose bring comic relief to a generally touching story. Some people may see a problem with the totems and other Indian beliefs that are potrayed. But that is what they are—Indian beliefs. Its not something to run and hide your kids from because it shows something different. Use it as a teaching oppertunity. Anyone who sees this as a tremendoud downfall of the movie should remember that it is a movie about Indians. You can’t have a movie that is based on an Indian family without their religion comming into play. “Brother Bear” is not preachy or pushy about the beliefs. It is a good clean movie with many imporant lessons that can be learned from watching. Its definitely one to take your kids to.
My Ratings: [Good / 4]

I was not really sure what to expect from this film. From the previews and what I had heard about it I had a feeling that it was going to be like Disney’s “Pocahontas” and have an “animals are just like humans” type of message. However, once I got into the film, I began to realize that the true theme of the film did not revolve around that concept. After listening to some of the voices it struck me that most of the humans voices were primarily white sounding while most of the Bears were either African-American or some sort of other nationalities and made it seem like the film was really more about overcoming racism. While I thought this theme was nice, it still had a lot of Native American spirituality in it which could be a bit more confusing to children. While I think it was not too bad of a film, I would strongly advice to speak to your children about it before you see it. All things considered, it’s not the best thing that Disney has ever done, but in the same breath, I wouldn’t say it’s the worst either.

The movie offers strong Cristian values such as Love your enemy and vengeance is wrong. The overall theme of the movie “We (humans and animals) are all brothers, is also an important biblical truth that man in this utilitarian society of ours often forget. Yes, God did give man dominion over the animals, but headship is NOT superiority: “There is an eventuality of man as there is an eventuaity of animal. As one dies, so the other dies; they all have the samespirit, so there is no superiority of man over beast, for everything is vanity.” Eccl. 3:19-21 Overall, I would highly recomend “Brother Bear” to one and all.
