| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Brother Bear |
|---|
Another great movie by Disney about seeing the world in another perspective.
Kenai, a young and excited boy, is tranformed into a bear, because Kenai killed a bear with little or no reason.
Kenau has to learn to see thing from another viewpoint. While on his way to set thing right with his brother, he meets a youn cub called Koda who lost his mother. Koda and Kenai go the mountain "where the lights touch the earth". There Kenai learns that he killed Koda's mother, but Koda doesn't know that...

Kenoia is the youngest of three brothers, who isn't very pleased with the totem he has recieved, a bear. When his oldest brother, Sitka, is killed by a bear, Kenoia goes out to kill it. When he does so, the spirits turn him into a bear. To change back to normal, he must go to where the light touches the earth. Along the way he meets a talkative cub named Koda, and two not very bright Canadian moose called Rutt and Tuke. This isn't the best of Disney films, but still provides good fun. The story isn't that interesting, but it's Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas who are the stars as the moose.
