I was not keen on this movie, as I started watching with a 3-year-old. Too complex, lots of death (including a mother bear, whose baby has to come to terms with her death in one scene) in early stages, and lots of silliness that make light of a sad underlying story - too long before you get to the message.

My 6 and 4 year old kids like this movie, but I really don't care for it. There is the death of the mother bear and brother that some parents might not like their little ones to see. But what I really didn't care for was the nasty attitude and horrible outlook that Keeni had through half the movie was a downer, then a couple of rams got on this back and forth "SHUT UP!" kick that was way too long and unnecessary. My kids think it's funny, but that language is not allowed in our home. Koda, the group of bears at the river and the two moose are the only breath of fresh air I got throughout the movie. Disney tried, but I think they missed the mark on this one.

I saw this movie. I like it. Kendi have to tell Koda what happed to his mom.

When Brother Bear first came out in the theaters, I took my two sons, ages 12 and 6 to see it. We all were laughing through almost the whole movie...if it wasn't something the two bears were doing, it was at the moose. We enjoyed the movie so much that the following week, we took my friend and her daughter, age 11 to see it also. They enjoyed it just as much. I would wholeheartedly suggest this movie to anyone who would like to have an enjoyable evening with their family.

He thought it was fun at the time, but then had no interest in talking about it later. Had no memory of the characters and turned down an offer from Uncle to see it again.

Not worth the time....

Very delightful--my toddler loved the bears and the magical parts. He also has a brother and liked the 'brother' roughhousing. One part that bothered me was how to explain the concept of revenge to my toddler. He kept talking about the mean bear and even yelled "Get Him" when the middle brother tried to kill the bear. Yikes. But, I decided that it was probably not a concept my toddler would get, although it would offer a great chance to discuss this issue with an older child--to help them see that there are always 2 sides to every situation. So--while the little ones will love this movie because of all the fun animal parts--my best suggestion is to downplay the violent side by pulling out the lollipop at that point. :)

Brother Bear is a nice movie for small children. My 6 year old found it a little scary because the early scenes show a young man being killed by a bear and a bear being killed by a young man. Eventually, the young man discovers that he has killed a mother bear and befriends her small cub. The overall message is one of love, tolerance and understanding.

I didn't like the very beginning where a bear dies and a man dies but if these events didn't occur there wouldn't be a movie. I really like the animals talking and showing how friendships can occur with the most diversified backgrounds. The humor used in the film was very innocent and funny. My children are 10 and 12 and really enjoyed it.

Ok this movie has no sexual content but it has a horrible message. i really did not like it at all.

I saw this movie back when I was in 2nd grade. It's okay, but I wouldn't say it was the best. Kids may feel a little sad or even frightened when one person is killed and when Koda's mother is killed by a hunter. You may need to explain to your child what happened and why. I would give it more than two stars, because it does deserve more. I don't think only kindergartners would enjoy it. I enjoyed it myself when I was in 2nd grade! Kids will find it interesting, but then again, it depends on your child.

I loved this show! It is great for little kids and I LoVeD it to!!! It is Funny and Sad. It has a really good point to it!!!
