Reviews

A sweet celebration of brotherhood in its many forms. It gently encourages human communion with animals, nature and our fellow man.

A playful movie that celebrates nature and the spirit world with striking imagery and a smooth blend of drama and comedy.

Variety
A very mild animated entry from Disney with a distinctly recycled feel.

Mark it: Phil Collins officially has nothing more to teach us. The tunes he's composed for Brother Bear are so generic, they're modular.

All the old Disney trademarks are here, except the wit and surprise that were once the studio's stock in trade. There's little appeal to grownups, but kids should enjoy it.
