We've seen a lot of Disney, maybe too much, but this movie has captivated my 4.5 year old. He loved it as a 3 year old (we skipped some of the scarier parts) and now that he's approaching 5 he's taken a new interest in it. We love the bits of humor (though the "shut up" bit could be shorter), the characters are so well played and themes so well rendered that it has helped our son learn how to ask questions. The story is pretty simple, but the message is complex. It is intriguing to little ones and open-minded adults alike. The messages of brotherhood and love, of the futility of revenge, of ultimate inclusion in the family of beings, and the timeless truth that we can still be in contact with our ancestors by being in positive contact with each other, here and now, are all themes that resonate with each viewing. Interestingly enough, without judgment, our son seems to have Our son keeps asking interesting and probing questions and if we parents take the time and open our eyes, we can answer the questions or say to them :let's see if we can figure that out together", we'll be better off than assuming a movie is a baby sitter. This film actually may be one of Disney's most underrated films.

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

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....

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.
