Review of Brother Bear (2003) by Nathan R — 17 Aug 2016

It's like Kenai as he scales the mountain, looking to avenge the death of his brother, Sitka. He's got his heart in the right place but he's still a little misguided. Brother Bear has all the makings of a good animated film, it has some loveable characters, like Koda, the adorable bear cub and even Rutt and Tuke, the bumbling pair of Canadian moose who engage in some pretty funny banter.

There's even some heart wrenching moments including somewhat of a tragic twist. But the animation has been better before, and the story has been better before. There's no real memorable moments or truly affective screenplay; it all feels very familiar.

Nevertheless, you'll enjoy this one because it's honest storytelling even if it is a little bit of the same.
