Bears (2014)

What's amazing about the documentary, though, is that it's oftentimes just as engaging as the Disney bears that play in jug bands or crave ooey-gooey honey.

A three-act story narrated by the affable John C. Reilly is grafted onto one “How’d they get that?” shot after another.

It’s gorgeous, intimate and beautifully photographed. And it’s cute and kid-friendly, with just enough jokes to balance the drama that comes from any film that flirts with how dangerous and unforgiving The Wild actually is.

It has lighthearted moments, but is also suspenseful at the right times.

Disneynature’s Bears combines sweeping vistas and remarkably intimate wildlife photography to typically stirring effect.
