Review of Bears (2014) by Michael P — 11 May 2014

OK, so the dialogue is childish, it's aimed at an audience of 8 year-olds. I don't even have a grandkid that young anymore, but I was still captivated by this Disney nature film about the survival of a mama brown bear and her two curious and rambunctious cubs in the gorgeous wilds of Alaska over their first year of life.

The videography alone makes "Bears" worth the ticket price. If you love wild places, you'll be as enraptured as I was. It's also touch-and-go whether the three bears will get enough to eat to survive the long hibernation, which gives the film plenty of tension to keep your attention.
