Brother Bear (2003)

Brother Bear is a 2003 animated Disney film that people can use to slap in the faces of those irritating folk who think Frozen was the first Disney movie to deal with familial relationships and not centre on romance.

The films follows Kenai, an Inuit boy, who sets out on a mission to kill a bear in revenge for the death of his oldest brother Sitka. Kenai does succeed in killing the bear, but in doing so he angers the Spirits and is transformed into a bear. Kenai embarks on an adventure to become human once again, very reluctantly teaming up with the cutest little bear cub in existence, Koda, and upon occasion two strange brother moose, Rutt and Tuke, all the while trying to dodge his crazed second-oldest brother, Denahi, who wrongly believes that bear-Kenai actually killed human-Kenai. Kenai and Koda journey together to the salmon run and learn to trust each other and care for each other. Literally the whole point of this film is brotherhood, and it is beautiful.



This movie is so much better than Lion King (yeah, I said it). Sure, there's no meerkat and warthog taking care of a spoilt little lion cub, but there are ULTRA CANADIAN MOOSE BROTHERS. Brother Bear is a lot more gut-wrenching than Lion King, and the viewing experience may be more emotional than expected for those who haven't seen it in a while, and its got a great soundtrack to sing along to. So, yeah, go watch Brother Bear and watch the tears pour down, it'll be fun.
