In Walt Disney Pictures' feature BROTHER
BEAR, beautiful animation of the Pacific Northwest
complements an upbeat musical score that includes songs
by Phil Collins and Tina Turner. From snowcapped
mountains and glaciers to lush springtime forest scenes,
the colorful drawings are dazzling and dreamlike.
Children
will especially enjoy the animals in the film. There are
rivers full of leaping salmon, forests inhabited by
squirrels and chipmunks, and processions of giant wooly
mammoths. The story carries messages about the power of
friendship and community, the difficulty of losing a
loved one, and the highs and lows of growing up. Kenai
(Joaquin Phoenix) is a boy who longs to become a man but
must learn a valuable lesson before he can achieve the
maturity it requires. At a tribal ceremony the spirits
give him the symbol of the bear, which stands for love.
Then, through a series of events, he is transformed into
a bear. Kenai must brave the wild, with only a little
bear-cub brother, Koda (Jeremy Suarez), to guide him. In
their travels, Kenai and Koda meet a couple of hilarious
moose (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) who provide comic
relief to this otherwise heartrending family tale!!
