Great movie for children and adults
Brother Bear is a great movie for children and adults. It is richly connected to the Native American beliefs and shows how these beliefs were followed. For the Native American's, the spirits were part of their every day life. They are constantly trying to follow their guide, or spirit animal, as they journey through this life. Brother Bear does a great job in showing this through Kenai fighting against his totem and refusing to believe what his true self was. His totem was the bear, which stands for love. He felt this was weak and not fit for him. He considered bears a threat and only saw them as monsters. He fought against this choice, and in an attempt to prove he is stronger than his totem, he is incidentally turned into a bear by his older brothers spirit. As he battles this transformation and tries to reconnect with the spirits to return to human form, he meets a young cub who seems to have lost his mother. Through his journey with this cub, he begins to realize that bears fear humans just as humans fear bears. It slowly changes his prospective on life and he begins to realize that everything is not as it seems. He eventually gets turned back into a human, but realizes that the cub needs him and chooses to stay as a bear to be with the cub. This shows how in depth the spirits are involved in the Native American beliefs. They believe that all things are connected, even animals, and have great respect for the living and the dead. Those who pass join the spirits and help guide the living through their life. Through this movie, you will realize how important it is to accept and love yourself, all the while being shown a little about the Native American beliefs as it invites you into their world. ... show more

Beautiful - From Indigenous Sacred Ways to Hinduism... What a Hit!
Brother Bear is an animated film set in a very simple time. The picturesque wilderness of the film is breathtaking, with green pastures and rolling hills along with the clear waters and snow-topped mountains, one can get lost in the colorful yet calm beauty. We are introduced to the faith of the indigenous people very early on, with the shaman, who is the elder wise-woman of the tribe. She is a kind-natured "nana"/matriarch of the family and is the overseer of the spiritual lives of the tribe. We are then introduced to Keni and his two brothers. The film progresses quickly from frolic and play to the storyline. Keni is initiated into manhood with a formal ceremony where he is given his totem, or charge in life, which is to be a loving bear. He displays his immaturity, by rushing off to the ceremony and not setting the bear trap correctly, which becomes the source of much drama to follow. After coming back and realizing that the basket his brother made has been destroyed, and rushing off to right his wrong, he sets the entire family up for tragedy, revenge, and a great lesson. Sitka, the oldest brother is killed trying to save the lives of his two youngest brothers, and Keni, determined to avenge his brother's death, sets out and kills the bear that he believes is to blame for his brother's death. This cruel act of killing creates unbalance in the spirit-world and Sitka, now an eagle spirit, wants to teach his brother's a valuable lesson. Keni is transformed into a bear and his brother takes Keni's role as the avenger. The irony is that he is not realizing that he has set out on this mission of revenge, and the hunted is his newly transformed brother Keni. Keni meets up with a boisterous cub, called Koda and becomes his protector and friend, and later realizes that he was the "monster" that has killed Koda's mother. It is in this turn of events that Keni and his brother realize and step into the true meanings of their totems, love and wisdom. This film was a great glimpse into the belief of Indigenous Sacred Ways, from the respect of the shaman, the transitional ceremony from boyhood to manhood, the respect for the spirit world and the honor for the beauty of nature. The movie is displayed with precision and craft, from the feeling of how Indigenous people find beauty in the afterlife and the land with its great colorful imagery. We were also even introduced to Hindu/Indigenous Ways with the moose and his individual yoga, along with him acting as a guru and leading the others in yoga. The circle of life was displayed in terms of the animals as well as the humans... We Are One! ... show more

Brother Bear
January 27, 2013 World Religions Rel 110 World Religions FON01 Spring 2013 Chapter 2 Movie Review Eddie R. Souther, Jr. Brother Bear By Walt Disney Pictures Brother Bear is a great movie, which teaches values to children as well as adults. Brother Bear is a story about a young Native American man named Kenai on the day he is to receive his Totem. This Totem is given to his by the village Shaman named Tanana. The Totem is a bear of love. Kenai and his two brothers Sitka and Denahi learn that love is the most important lesson for each of us to learn. Sitka is killed while fighting a bear and joins the spirits in the lights in the sky. These ever changing lights are believed to be spirits. Kenai is angry because of his brother's death and finds the bear and kills it. His brother now one of the light spirits changes him into a bear until he learns the lesson of love. On the journey to the mountain where the lights touch the earth, Kenai meets Koda the orphan cub of the bear he killed. The two learn to trust each other and most of all they become brothers. As the two journey they must stay one step ahead of Denahi, who is on their trail to avenge the death of his two brothers. Once reaching the top of the mountain Sitka changes Kenai back to a man and the two brothers are reunited. Kenai now wishes to remain a bear to help take care of his new brother bear. This movie also does a good job in showing the indigenous religion of the Native American people. The Shaman is a person who speaks to the spirits and the spirits speak to her. It is her job to instruct the people in the knowledge of the spirits and the oral traditions of the tribe. The native people believe the spirits have the power to change people's lives. The spirits are their ancestors and the look after them to provide help and guidance. They also have the belief that special places are sacred like the mountain and they go there to seek guidance from their ancestors. They also use initiation rituals as a rite of passage for their youth. This is a sign to the world that the boy has become a man. This was done when Kenai received his Totem. This movie does a good job showing have native people believed we are tied to the land and the animals of the world. There are two messages in this movie we should love one another and the animals we see. Also it shows the story of how indigenous people believe. When you watch the movie see if you catch the whole store.-Eddie Souther ... show more

I had no idea these movies were so good!
Believe it or not, my local Firestone showed this movie while I was waiting for my truck to be serviced. The first movie was so good, I stayed to finish watching it even after my service was done! I love the theme of BOTH movies but I fell so in love with the adorable Koda that I bought a TALKING KODA a few weeks ago! I bought this set of disk because they are sincere heart-felt movies with a good message about family and devotion to family which occurs in my own. I believe this is a great movie for young children to enhance their notion of family values and also for some adults who tend to forget the importance of family love and the importance of devotion to family. Kenai really shows this with Koda by refusing to leave him even though TWICE, he could have been turned back into a human (first and second movies). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH FILMS... I cried during both :) I have to admit that KODA made the movies for me though. He was just so darn cute and funny! I can watch these films over and over again! ... show more

Great Spirits are at work
Brother Bear is a wonderful movie that is based on ancient Native American brothers and their religious beliefs. The Native Americans believe that all is one and even animals are kin to man. The Great Spirit is all around and in everything. In this movie, a Native American teenager Kenai has received a totem of a bear that represents love, one of his oldest brothers(Sitka) totem is the eagle which represents guidance, and his second older brother (Denahi) totem is wisdom. The totems are a rite of passage from childhood to manhood. However, Kenai is none too pleased when the tribe’s spiritual leader, Tanana, presented his totem of a bear (love.) He didn't feel that it was 'manly' and wanted to prove his manhood. Incidentally, because of his recklessness and his pride his oldest brother dies while trying to save him and Denahi from a bear attack. Fast-forward a bit to when Kenai hunts the bear who he believed killed his brother and kills it. After the bear is killed, the Great Spirit in his brother Sitka came to him as an eagle and transformed Kenai into a bear. Kenai as a bear went through a journey of discovery and what true love really is. He discovered it through a young bear cub which he became like a little brother to him. The bear cub, Koda, happens to be the cub of the bear that Kenai killed and Kenai later finds out that the bear he killed was trying to protect her baby, Koda. The motherless cub looks up to Kenai as a big brother that he never had and wishes to be with him. Denahi is also on a journey of his own. He learns that things are not what it seems to be. He discovers that the bear he was about to kill was his little brother Kenai. When the Great Spirit of Sitka appears first as an eagle and then as their big brother interferes with Denahi from killing Kenai the bear and transforms Kenai back to human form once again. The brothers rejoice and embrace one another. However, Kenai sees Koda and he doesn’t want the cub to be alone and asked to be transformed back into a bear. In addition, Kenai still got to do his rite of passage and added his pawprint on the stone cave wall along with all the others before him did. ... show more

A Cute Movie
I've read the more negative reviews to this movie and I'd have to say I don't agree with them. While Brother Bear is obviously not quite on par with Classic Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast or the Lion King, which are the two it seems most often compared to, it is a cute movie in its own right. I hadn't seen this movie in a very long time, and I just recently re-watched it while babysitting two of my younger cousins. I didn't remember much about it, except that I'd seen it for the first time when I was twelve and loved it. I'm now seventeen, so this review will be a bit more from an adult perspective. I feel I should first address the issue of death in this movie, as that seems to be the most controversial issue. I showed the movie to two of my cousins, an eight year old boy and a six year old girl, and both of them were perfectly okay with it. Honestly I feel this movie goes about portraying death in a way that is sensitive to impressionable young children. It shows the characters who die living on as spirits, and conveys the message that when our loved ones die, they don't completely leave us. As for the spirits, they don't really present a religious issue. My entire family is Catholic and we had no problem with it. It seems to me that smaller kids wouldn't actually register that it's another religion, as the movie does not outright state anything that would denote anyone's faith. As for adults, I'm pretty sure they'll just realize the religion goes with the culture the movie is trying to portray. As for the actual movie, I found it enjoyable to watch and my cousins liked it as well. True, some of the jokes and dialogue are a bit juvenile, such as Denahi telling Kenai he should have recieved "the totem of pinheads." At such moments my cousins laughed and I simply rolled my eyes. Still, since it is a cartoon and meant to appeal to children I figure we can all let that slide. Besides, the movie has humor that can appeal to adults as well, i.e. the beloved duo of Rutt and Tuke. Other than that the story has good messages about brotherhood, the sanctity of life and seeing things from another's perspective. To those who believed the movie was saying that animals are better than us, that's not the impression I got at all. Kenai is transformed because he killed the bear. Yes the actual act of killing was done in self defense, but he only reached that point from his original malicious intentions. The bear did not go after Kenai in cold blood, she was protecting her cub, a natural animal instinct. Kenai actually provoked this by throwing a rock at the bear, which was walking in an opposite direction. His actions were uncalled for and done with no other intention but to maliciously kill another living thing. The point of the transformation was for Sitka to show Kenai that the bear he killed was a living, feeling being that had a child of her own, not just a vicious monster with no intent but to destroy. The movie's purpose was to show that if we don't properly understand something we can grow to hate it. At least that's the impression I got. All in all, the point I'm trying to make from this is that though this movie may not be for everyone, you should probably give it a try before you cast it aside. It may not be one of the best Disney movies made, but in my opinion it has some merit and is worth watching. ... show more

Brother Bear
Contains Spoilers! Brother Bear is the story of a transformation of a man (Keni) into a bear and his journey. He begins as a young Native American boy who is foolish and believes he is ready to become a man. In the Native American culture they believe spirits, in the shape of animals, guide them. Each animal has a specific purpose or meaning. In this movie, the eagle is wisdom and the bear is love. There is an incident involving a bear (Keni's spirit totem), Keni, and his two older brothers. The oldest brother, Sitka, sacrifices his life to save his younger brothers. Keni grows angry and goes after the bear who he blames for the death of his brother. He eventually finds and kills the bear. His older brother, who is now the Eagle spirit, transforms Keni into a bear. In the Native American culture it is not considered right to kill an animal for selfish needs, but only for survival. He must journey to find his brother's spirit and find out how to become human again. Along the way, he finds a cub that has lost his mother and journeys with him. He is also being chased by the middle brother, Denahi, who is angry after losing both of his brothers. Along his journey he learns many lessons. He realizes that bears are not the savage beasts that he once believed. They share the same spirits that he does and they're just as scared of humans and he was of them. He also goes from being the youngest brother to being the older brother of Koda, the small cub he encounters. He eventually learns that the cub who has been searching for his mom will never find her; she is the bear he killed. At the end of the story Denahi finally catches up the them at the meeting place where he is suppose to find Sitka. Koda protects Keni from being killed and then in return he protects Koda from Denahi. He true shape is shown as Sitka's spirit appears. His journey is complete. He chooses however to remain a bear inorder to protect the small cub that he has caused to be abandoned. ... show more
