Brother Bear
Directed by Aaron Blaise, Robert Walker
When an impulsive boy named Kenai is magically transformed into a bear, he must literally walk in another's footsteps until he learns some valuable life lessons. His courageous and often zany journey introduces him to a forest full of wildlife, including the lovable bear cub Koda, hilarious moose Rutt and Tuke, woolly mammoths and rambunctious rams. From TMDB

It's Bulgarian native singing 🇧🇬 Today marks day of Slavonic Alphabet & Bulgarian Culture. Balkan Slavs, aka, native/aliens.

neutral · AI labelView post →Brother Bear is another underrated Disney Movie that has such beautiful animation and Songs by Phil Collins. I recommend it, it's definitely a Movie that stays with you. 🐻🤎
positive · AI labelView post →Someone said my style reminds them of Brother Bear and I never stopped thinking about it. Like yeah man it tracks, it was the first movie I saw in theaters as a kid around the time I got into drawing but also shhh you're too damn loud! 💀
positive · AI labelView post →"People of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better! What's your favorite movie?" I've a lot of typical faves: Princess Mononoke, Atlantis, also Brother Bear .. but my top fave is Baraka. it's an old 90s documentary with no narrative or narration, only experiences. idk i just think it's neat.

If you love anything about The Iron Giant, Castle in the Sky, Wall-e, Brother Bear, HTTYD, Dreamworks in general or just GREAT ANIMATED FILMS go see it. The soundtrack is also AMAZING 😭💕
neutral · AI labelView post →"People of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better. What is your favourite movie?" The Brother Bear movies are still my favorite to this day. So much love for them.
positive · AI labelView post →I heard Kinduru will be back as an eagle spirit, and this is something I predicted when I was drawing this art, as it's inpired by this scene from Brother Bear (for those who have seen the film, the eldest brother who is dead is an eagle spirit)
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Catherine O'Hara. Most notable from Home Alone and Beetlejuice, she also voiced some critters you may have not realized. Penny the porcupine mom from Over the Hedge and the opossum mom Pinktail from The Wild Robot. And for the TF movie fans, a small bit as the moosette Kata in Brother Bear 2. 🫎
neutral · AI labelView post →If you haven't seen this wonderful short, from the co-director of Brother Bear, that took him 3 years to make and is a BIG "FU" to AI art, then please GO AND WATCH AND SUPPORT. It's only 11 mins long and it's STUNNING. #SnowBear www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOXo...

neutral · AI labelView post →I am sad Brother Bear is such an underrated movie, it's really one of Disney's best with some extremely heavy topics and a really good soundtrack 😭
positive · AI labelView post →Time to find my spirit animal 🐻 Ngl, I was never a huge fan of Disney's Brother Bear but it's cool to see it represented here in California Adventure

neutral · AI labelView post →Some of Disney's best films were punishments Katzenberg took "B squad" artists off his baby Pocahontis to work on a some lame Lion King flick Musker/Clements had to direct Hercules or no Treasure Planet. Artists on Lilo and Stitch made the "Florida filler film" while California finished Brother Bear

neutral · AI labelView post →Brother Bear did a lot of things wrong, but for some reason I really love that movie, I feel like Disney stepped out of the formula and the three brother characters were really well made for Disney. Also the topic was extremely dark and heavy for some reason, which I loved even as a kid.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kata #CatherineOHara Movie: Brother Bear 2 Year: 2006 This was somewhat of a SCTV reunion as Catherine O'Hara joined Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, and Dave Thomas in the voice cast for Disney's direct-to-video sequel to Brother Bear. #BrotherBear

neutral · AI labelView post →imo a Fire Upon The Deep movie adaptation would be really well served by the bits in the Beyond being rendered in like, Production IG style, intentionally conscpicuous mixed-media 3D for high technologies. The bits on Tines World should be animated like late-90s-mid-00s Disney - think Brother Bear.

neutral · AI labelView post →Letting the kids watch “Brother Bear” and… is it me or is this Disney movie TOTALLY forgotten/unsupported?! As someone who likes “Disney attempts to do serious films” it’s… kinda good?! Was the opening bear hunt too scary for most parents/kids? Also the ads show NOTHING of the human characters
neutral · AI labelView post →watched Holes (2003) and Brother Bear (2003) earlier this week. i remember reading the book and enjoying it as a younger bat. i still can’t unsee Shia LaBeouf from his Even Stevens days lol. Sigourney Weaver was a surprise tho Brother Bear is my brothers favorite film so it was nice to watch again
positive · AI labelView post →"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie" 🎥 Brother Bear 2003 I grew up on this film it's not one of Disney's best but I do feel like This gets Way to Much Hate online

neutral · AI labelView post →Fake CPR. I do get WHY they do it haha, but MAN, that is not going DEEP enough!!! Also bald eagles dubbed over with red-tails. Brother Bear I think is the only film I've seen them actually have an eagle making the right sound.

positive · AI labelView post →Second being Snow Bear by the actual Brother Bear Director; Aaron Blaise (A beautiful Short Film with no dialogue that's absolutely beautiful while being very heartbreaking at the end)
neutral · AI labelView post →If you have 12 minutes to spare, I recommend watching this short film. I really enjoyed it, and it's very moving. Plus, it's about bears!!! PS: The director of this short film also worked on Brother Bear as director. A film that I really enjoy. youtu.be/xOXolSQcEb4?...

neutral · AI labelView post →95. Brother Bear This movie frustrates me. On the one hand, the opening & ending of the film is great, & even handles emotional moments fairly well. Its the second act where it's peaks & valleys. The comedy & characters are mostly lame, the music is eh, & some decisions are just bafflingly terrible
neutral · AI labelView post →Traumatizing them with Brother Bear (2003) instead. Love a movie about fucking around and finding out spiritually directly from the ancestors.

neutral · AI labelView post →Brother Bear is still my favorite disney movie, I just love it so much (even the sequel).
positive · AI labelView post →Brother Bear is a good movie
positive · AI labelView post →Very curious to hear about this; what is your favourite Disney movie, and why? Mine is Brother Bear, because it perfectly captures the perspectives from multiple groups, and is the most emotional rollercoaster I have ever seen and ever will see. It is just wonderful
positive · AI labelView post →7. The first movie I remember ever seeing in a theater was Brother Bear. I was about 4 years old and it was for a school trip. "Great Spirits" by Tina Turner and Phil Collins still rules.
positive · AI labelView post →This theory never quite sounded right to me…until I found out that Disney deliberately held back on (the already completed) Home on the Range until after Brother Bear was completed and released and that’s not a thing you do if you don’t want your last 2D movie to be considered a strong contender.

neutral · AI labelView post →TIL Brother Bear used white actors to play indigenous characters. Knew the movie sucked ass but damn. Reinforces how terrible the meme is though.
negative · AI labelView post →regardless of you you feel about the movie Brother Bear, The Blind Boys of Alabama made a damn good song for it
neutral · AI labelView post →Remembering that one meme where they get upset about a character who gets tf'd and learns to accept themselves only to get un-tf'd and maybe that's why I like the movie Brother Bear a lot
