Film Reviews:  Brother Bear

This is a good movie and is worth taking your kids to see.  Many of the kids during the earlier half were giggling over and over.  Maybe they were having a good day, or simply that the movie actually made them laugh.  

However, no more giggles were heard during the more "serious" latter half--except for the comic relief scenes of the moose brothers.

For me I appreciated the wonderful visuals of faraway shots of the bear in the ice.  One thing about Disney artists--they are truly a talented group and their beautiful drawings are appreciated.  Also, when this kind of work can make you cry, then their time and your time isn't wasted.

There are many themes in the movie as portrayed by the three brothers, and the spiritual beliefs of their tribe, and even if you figure out who caused the death of the cub's mother early on, you are glad to find how this is resolved.  The surprise, however, is the decision of the youngest brother at the end.
