this movie is fun and funny!!! KIDS WILL ENJOY!

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 love this movie. i love that song that plays when kenai was changing from bear to human and human to bear. and koda is adorable.love the song take a look through my eyes by phil collins.

Brother Bear is my all time favorite Disney movie. For a movie in the newer part of the company's era, it's a beautiful and humorous story of the power of love (for once, brotherly love instead of romantic love). The story of Kenai, newly of age, seeks revenge on a bear for the death of his oldest brother, but making the Great Spirits angry, is turned into a bear himself. A recurring theme is to love and respect all people and livings things, be they blood family, the animals that share our world, and even the environment that we live in. The only things that might steer families away would be heavy plot reliance of revenge and violence, frequent name calling and other distasteful language (but nowhere near cussing), and two comic relief characters who show stereotypes of Canadians. By the end of the film, they fully show that revenge and violence are never the answer to problems. All in all, if your family is lax to the few unsavory themes of the movie, it's a true delight and a great family experience with loving messages and sweeping visuals.

As I'm typing this review, I'm listening to that song. This is a really good movie. I'm serious. I checked the soundtrack out from the library today. But the point is the movie. The movie is good. Really good. The music is good too. All is great. I don't know why CSM gave it such a bad rating. It's a good movie that I still like. And I am 13. 13 is a TEENAGER AGE!!! You see, CSM is wrong a lot of the time. So, like, they sometimes turn people's minds completely around, so that those minds face a completely different direction from where they are supposed to be. Those minds can sometimes be fixed into the correct position by way of user reviews. I'm usually the one who is ever-relavant. I apologize to those who don't agree. It's just my opinion. And all the scatalogical humor is funny. Very funny. Also, those who don't enjoy the "shut up" bit, w/ the two rams on the mountain, yellin' "SHUT UP" over and over again, I think you need to loosen up. You see, my opinion is the same as my parents': When the kids are three, they may hear it, but they may not SAY it. When the kids turn five, they should be allowed to do both the vocalization AND the auscultation of it. But maybe your opinion is different than mine. At the same time, anyone who doesn't enjoy this movie should GET ON THEIR OWN SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY!!! Sorry, that's what I'm thinkin', that's what I'm postin. It's not my fault if you take it too personally.
