When Koda is telling the story of what happened to his mom and we see Kenai flashing back to it, he can now understand what the mom was saying. She was calling for Koda 😢
That's why she ran too, trying to get him away from Koda. 😔
He was too blind by his hatred to the point that he didn't realize if the bear really wanted to kill him then she would've strangled him right in the glacier cliff or just harmed him when she sensed him with his stick instead of running. He was so mad about it to point that he didn't even think about it as a bear until Koda bought up the story. When he realized what she actually was saying "Go away" "Koda" it was the most heartbreaking moments I've ever seen in any Disney movies 😭😭😭😭😭
Kenai not Keni.
2003 not 2002
@@Rodan_003 Why are you commenting a year?
It's interesting that because people didn't appreciate this movie at the time, traditional animation just continued to die. It is *very* underrated.
Its a good thing my sister and I were too young to care about anything other than how awesome its was at the time lmao
I used to watch my VHS copy of it so much I wore out the tape LOL
I got the 2-Disc DVD afterwards though which I still have to this day
I agree.
"Brothe baer" is one of my most favorit disney movie.
I love it as much as "Beauty and the beast".
As a kid I didn't really think about how messed up Denahi must have been after losing BOTH his brothers in like less than a day, no wonder he was being so angry.
There's a lot of beautiful scenes in this movie and I always tear up when Keni tell Koda what he did
James didn’t even think of that in this reaction, so you’re all good.
@@SnailHatanno not right after Mulan right after Teaser Planet Mulan was 1998 5 years after Mulan was this movie this was around the time of Finding Nemo Tarzan was right after Mulan you’re mistaken
Unpopular opinion: I personally think that brother bear did the concept of sibling love BETTER than Frozen imo
I think if more people watched this they would agree with you. Elsa and Anna hardly have any time to be siblings. Most of their time on screen they are separated by walls or not even near each other. but Kenai's whole story is about being a brother to his human brothers first, then to Koda.
Especially as it tackles both a sibling love and a found sibling love
Don't compare the garbage Frozen movies to the amazing Brother Bear
a million times better
Lilo and Stitch did better sister bond. Probably most relatable out of the three.
Joaquin Phoenix, who voiced Kenai, lost his brother River in real life. According to the director, when they were recording Kenai's reaction to Sitka's death, Phoenix's performance was so raw and intense that much of it had to be cut for fear that it would upset kids too much.
Oh jeez man. That’s too bad. I woulda killed to see that honestly
@@whitenoisereacts Yeah I'm sure it would have been on the same level as his Joker performance.
Joaquin Phoenix????? Ommlll no wonder why I've always loved hi.
omgg i had no idea River Phoenix had a brother:(
Bullshit.
One thing I love is at the beginning of the movie when The bear is getting hunted it has black beady eyes, making it seem as if it is a mindless beast. At then end when Koda is saying goodbye to his mum's spirit, her eyes are real, giving soo much more emotion to the mother bear. It shows how much has been learnt in this journey, how every creature has a soul and ability to love and is not just a monster.
I directed Brother Bear and it was so fun to watch you guys watch the film. Thanks so much for this!
Wait seriously?? Dude, email us!! I’d love to talk to you brother!! I loved this movie
I've said this once in another video but I'll say it again. Sitka's death is underrated as one of the saddest Disney deaths.
Totally agree!
My Dad Directed the movie and I will never forget his story about that scene with Joaquin Phoenix who voiced Kenai in the movie. That scene hits a lot harder when you understand what happened in the sound booth. The scene when Kenai is frantically looking in the water, that is Joaquin Phoenix being 100% emotional. His real brother passed earlier that year. So when he was calling out for Sitka, he was mentally calling out for his Brother to the point of tears. When he finished my Dad was speechless and it took Joaquin looking at him saying "IS THAT ENOUGH!?" to finally say cut and stop the recording. It was an emotional day in the Studio.
Cuando vi la película de pequeña, juro que esa parte me quedé sin palabras, podía sentir la impotencia de la situación, realmente lo sentí
@@DustinBlaise River Phoenix died in 1993, ten years before this movie was made. But it goes to show you that pain never goes away. I lost a sibling seven years ago and it feels as raw today as it did that night, so I definitely believe he put all that into his performance.
For me this is still the saddest Disney movie I know. The moment when Kenai tells Koda the truth is still heardbreaking after all this time. It#s also one of the most beautiful movies in my eyes.
I lost it when Kenai was telling Koda the story and says, “Koda, I’ve done something very wrong. Your mother’s not coming…” 🥺🥺😭
"Your mother was hit by a drunk driver. She's dead." **chuckles**
That part broke me as an older brother myself. I watched this movie and swore to myself I would fashion myself into a respectable older brother.
In case no one has pointed it out Denahi plays two roles for Kenai. To be the hunter towards him so he could feel what it was like to be on the other side of the spear, but to also serve as a mirror for what rage and obsession could've turned Kenai into. Didn't figure the second part out until I was an adult and the thought randomly hit me and the way it's all done without needing to be said is simply too perfect for words.
"As long as you do it well, it doesn't matter if the story's been done a million times"
^I feel a lot of people can take that lesson to heart, because it's true - I've felt that way since as far back as I can remember, and I've seen a bunch of cliches that were used well, used badly, and in-between. Literally everything can be used well, bad, or in-between, but it's that individual quality that matters at the end of the day, not whether they're using something that you like/dislike/whatever.
This was one of my favorite movies as a child. I didn’t watch any of the Disney princess movies and so animal movies were basically what I had. Its a wonderful story.
Bambi 2 is amongst the most underrated animal movies in my opinion.
Lion king 2 also
This movie and Mulan were both my favorite as a child. I always wanted to rewatch them all the time.
same here. Even as a little girl, I hated dolls, barbies, or princess stuff. I was a fan of Brother Bear, Ben 10, Hotwheels etc
@@muslimwoolfy-winterequestr4344 Brother Bear 2 and Bambi 2 are great
@@naylisyazwina6836 Bambi 2 was okay, but I always found Brother Bear 2 to be quite lackluster.
Having many characters absent from this film turned me off
Music by Melissa Etheridge was good though
One of my all time favourites, I’m Yolngu and Indigenous to Australia. One thing that is similar is the totemic system that incorporates animals. In our system, when you have a totem (like Kenai being a bear) you are not supposed to hunt, kill or eat your totem as it is an extension of you. Even as a young kid watching this is resonated with me and I knew that him killing the bear (who we find out later in Koda’s mama) was going to change his life lol. He had lessons to learn and he could only do that by becoming his totem. Still a fav :)
I freaking love this movie. It's still today day one of my favorite Disney movies.
yeah. i ain't indigenous so cant talk on that side of stuff. but one thing that I absolutely love is just the feeling of home the movie has in both a family aspect of it and also the setting of it, I am Canadian and grew up in and around the Canadian rockies tho, so that probably contributes to if for me a LOT lol. they did do an amazing job of capturing the look and vibe of em, like they look and feel more massive irl, but in a 2d lens they did fantastic, it just feels all home'y, its awesome.
Thank you for sharing this -- that's a really incredible detail, and adds so much to the movie for me.
I honestly didn't know this movie was underrated and I was very shocked when you said you never heard anything about it because in my country this movie is VERY famous! it's one of my favorites, I cry every single time
Where are you from? Now I'm curious.
@@lorettabes4553 Brazil! :)
Even I was shocked to learn it's an underrated movies. As a kid I was crazy for it and Treasure Planet.
SAME!!!
I was really sad when I found out that this movie was terribly underrated. Brother bear is the first movie to teach me about death and spirits. My first Disney movie.
The one thing I love about this movie is the animation and color especially during the scenes involving the spirits
Great reaction guys! If you're curious, the original scene where Kenai confesses to killing Koda's mother is available on RUclips, sans Phil Collins drowning it out. It's...pretty dark for Disney (hence why they cut it, despite it being the most important scene in the whole damn movie) but I honestly do prefer it over the nicer, safer final cut that we got.
Can you give me the link to the clip
@@elizabethjames1768 ruclips.net/video/3-seKkTsCeE/видео.html
I agree. Even with the audio being sung over, the animation and small sentences they allow to go through paint a clear picture and I feel like making kids and parents have to fill in the gaps themselves is the better choice. It's cool that we can still see behind the scenes though.
@@lorettabes4553 Agreed
While it’s not a bad scene, we already know the story by that point so leaving it up to our imagination of what he actually says I felt worked better.
Him simply saying “I did something very wrong” and “Your mother’s not coming” I felt was all that was needed to put the pieces together
Oof. Not sure I even want to hear that.
Really sucks that critics hated this movie, stating that they never understood the concept of the story.
I was a kid, but I understood it smh such a shame it's such a great movie 💜🥺
The only valid criticisms I've heard have more to do with the complete cultural subversion of an indigenous story, the awkward placement of Phil Collins' music (in an attempt to recreate the magic money formula of Tarzan), and really, really fumbling the ball with the ending.
Anyone saying they don't get the concept, though...I dunno what they're smokin'. Lol
@@theanafront3746 alot of people thought the story was really boring and predictable when Kenai turns into a bear.
It was still fresh after 9/11 and so there was a lot of criticism and people were mistaking the message because of it.
critics are just people use fancy words and think their opinions matter. The story was super clear to me. The only thing I was concerned was how accurate the indigenous culture was. Yeah it was kinda predictable in a way but its literally a kids movie. As for Phil Collins, he's the dang goat and i LOVED the music. He even sang it in different languages.
The part where he says "the story of a boy who became a man... by becoming a bear" then Kenai putting his paw on the wall while listening the phrase "brothers all the same" always gets me .
You guys were wondering what era they lived in the movie, and considering that the bears rode over Mammuts, it must have been the ice age. The world lived through many glaciations, that would explain the baggy clothes and the cave paintings (used for thousands of years as a form of communication and to leave a legacy to other generations of the tribe). You should react to the animated Tarzan, that one is amazing too :)
I cry so fucking much watching this movie every time. I actually can't watch it again on my own, so i'm glad you guys reacted to this.
Let's face it, any film with a Phil Collins soundtrack is already amazing! Brother Bear & Tarzan being prime examples
29:50 "There was no 3D used in Mulan really..." Actually they did use CGI for the Hun Army. The first was when we first see the main villain (Can't spell his name) and his Army in the rocky landscape. the 2nd is when the Hun army charges down the mountain towards Mulan and the rest of the troops. I think they also used CGI in the Ballroom scene among few others in Beauty and the Beast. I can't exactly remember. I'll ask my Dad next time I see him.
Separate note. My Dad is Aaron Blaise who Directed Brother Bear. I love seeing people react to the movie. Shows that it's still being seen :) and the Transformation scene in film still makes me choke up a bit from the beauty of the colors and music of the scene. Thank you for taking the time to React to the movie and glad you guys liked the Movie! Can't wait to see what you guys watch next. I recommend if you haven't seen them yet either Hunchback of Notre Dam or Lilo and Stitch which my Uncle Animated Stitch in that movie and it came out a year before brother Bear.
Another Note: The Moose Antlers were CGI as well. to maintain the shape of the Antlers, they used tracking and animation for the Antlers seperately. Similar to that of John Silvers hand in Treasure Planet.
i looooove this movie. i was literally obsessed with this when i was a kid and honestly i think the message this movie sends is one of the best in the entire disney cinematography! loved ur reaction 🤍
Somehow this movie is one of the lowest rated Disney movies… idk how, i loved it so much
the nostalgic Critic says Me loves the beginning and Ending, but he hates the middle portion of the film.
Which always confuses me when I see and hear things like this. I'm like, what's everyone talking about? Everyone I know who was a kid at or around this time seen or even Owned this movie and the sequel. So I'm always like underrated to Who? Critics or something? Who cares what they think anyway critics are usually wrong.
@@Yugioh420 always wrong, everything is subjective so u see things that they dont, most people want non stop action, cant appreciate dialogue or story. The movie is amazing but yh by underrated i mean in general coz of the rating
@@orangeslash1667 U dont need to follow critics. Beginning and ending r the most interesting of every story, thats the most important bit. Eg frozen, nemo, the middle is always a journey and them figuring out stuff and the ending is all of it coming together. Brother bear had amazing characters, amazing voice actors, amazing music, amazing songs, amazing art/animation, amazing setting/time-frame, amazing message, amazing way to show a story. There is nothing wrong with the show at all. Beautiful show, if ur interested or not just depends on u. I rewatch many "nostalgic" movies, most r good and some r worse than i remembered, this was definitely good. Not liking that a character is "cocky" which was intentional and the point of the story, does not justify the rating but to each their ownnn
@@sirsnow371 Oh sorry I misspelled something. It's not just critics alot of people didn't think the story (wasn't) interesting outside of the beginning and Ending. Had the entire movie been exactly like the beginning and ending in terms of story. It would have been even more popular than Mulan. Maybe some people find Koda really annoying because he's so cocky????????????
Brush you clearly instigated Sitka's death too early. As a kid it was a big twist which played as a big factor in the movie. When I used to recommend it to you guys, I knew you'll like the landscapes and art style cause most of it is done in 2d and it's actually done really neatly. The bear being Koda's mom was one of the biggest plot twist I've ever seen as a child besides Darth Vader being Luke's father in Empire Strikes Back. The whole mountain scene is still incredible. Be it animation, lightning or the different animals that represent their ancestors and different meanings like how Kenai saw those fishes and wolves both each represent his happy times with his brothers to his revenge and lonely journey. The problem was not that he killed a bear. Any hunter can kill a animal, only if it's out of need and hunger. He killed the bear in spite and vengeance against his totem. His vision got more wider and bright as a bear, as the old lady said; he'll see things in new perspective. In the process he realized both sides thinks monstrously of each only because they chose violence as first instinct. Being a bear and staying with Koda as his guardian was his punishment and his redemption. Denahi was the one who really went through too much arc. He never blamed the bear, only thing of it as a individual who was trying to survive and Sitka just lose his life in accident. It was until his other brother died by the same bear did his perspectives changes and agony took turn on him.
Brother Bear, Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Sinbad, Lilo and Stitch are those movies where not only you appreciate the art but also storytelling.
I'll highly recommend Legend of the guardians: owls of Ga'Hoole, The Adventures of TinTin, Meet the Robinsons, Arthur's Christmas.
Am I dreaming? 😳 You guys are are reacting to Brother Bear? This is EXACTLY WHY YOU GUYS ARE MY FAV REACTORS. You always listen to your fans' wishes. 😍
Aww!!! Thanks!!!
Just to let you know, it wouldn't be unusual for a bear to simply run away from you. They're not monsters, they're just animals. And like any animal, they'll fight if they think they need to, but usually, they'd rather just run away if they can. It also depends on the personality of the bear and the situation.
During Kenai's first confrontation with her, he not only instigated the fight by cornering her and throwing things at her, but she was also protecting her baby. During the second confrontation, they were in a berry field, with plenty of ways to run away, they were both startled by each other, so Kenai wasn't actively after her, and she didn't have Koda with her. It makes sense that she just ran away the second go around.
yeah bears generally just run away, unless they're a mum and deem you to be a threat to their cub(s). one of the first thing ya learn in bear safety is never mess with and/or go near bear cubs, thats just asking to get mauled.
My 2D effects animation professor worked on this film. He had worked on the ancestrial lights sequence. He recently passed away (this past October, I believe) and rewatching this movie with y'all and seeing how much you appriciated the animation really made me happy.
If you watched til the end you can see the rams still yelling at the mountain. 😂
I’m not sure if you guys noticed this but when Kenai wakes up as a bear for the first time the movie screen expands compared to the beginning of the movie. So seeing everything as a bear is different than as a human, showing that as a bear and Kenai going through this change he “sees more around him” it is really cool! And a different perspective!!
yeh kenai is voiced by joaquin pheonix he's so good in the role, as well as the kid who plays koda who really brings the character to life capturing the spirit of how young kids truly are. This is my favorite disney movie of all time (2nd fav is lilo & stitch). it's such a great story and pays respect to the culture it depicts. Not only a tale of empathy, insecurity, perspective, and grief, but coming of age, knowing your responsibilities, taking accountability, etc. Plus a great message of everything in nature being connected and alive, and all life deserving respect and compassion. A reverence for nature. There's a doc on youtube i think for the behind the scenes where they talk about the animation, story creation, voice acting, composition of the music, etc. It's super intriguing especially how the people involved in the project went to these different landscapes in real life to truly capture the beauty of the world when they'd eventually animate it all. Also they explain that when Kenai is human in the beginning the aspect ratio is smaller (4:3 i think) but then widens when he becomes a bear to represent his initial narrow-mindedness and subsequent change in perspective as a bear.
I freaking love Brother Bear it's no doubt one of my favorite Disney movies. Joaquin Phoenix really nail the role of Kenai.
"This is giving me Tarzan vibes"
Cue the Phil Collins
Here’s some fun facts about Brother Bear, though some of you already them.
-Koda is played by Jeremy Suarez aka Jordan from The Bernie Mac Show.
-D.B Sweeney, the actor who plays Sitka, previously played in Disney’s Dinosaur as Aladar.
-Denahi is played by Jason Raize, who is well known for being part of the original Broadway cast of The Lion King, where he played as Simba.
-In the early stages of production, it was under two different titles; Shadow Bear and Bears.
-Kenai was originally gonna have an older brother figure named Griz. But replaced with Koda cause the execs figured it’s best that Kenai have a younger brother figure.
Love that you are talking a lot about the animation style. Really interesting! Most other reactors only talk about the story points, so this is a nice change.
Naw, u gotta talk about the animation, I mean, come on!
@@whitenoisereacts Great reaction! Just looked at Roger Ebert's review, and he mentions this as the last 2-D movie from Disney, as well as commenting:
"The opening scenes are in a conventional screen ratio of 1:85 to 1, but after Kenai becomes a bear, the colors deepen and the screen widens to 2:35 to 1, so you'd better hope your projectionist is on his toes."
And the two moose are voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, comic actors who played the McKenzie brothers first on Second City TV, before becoming recurring characters who even got their own movie, "Strange Brew".
Love that you guys liked this movie! - cry my eyes out every time without fail about Kodas mum so had the tissues ready when I seen the title
this was such a fun reaction to watch! Brother Bear is a wonderful movie and never fails to make me tear up a bit. i'm glad you guys enjoyed it! and the animation and painted backgrounds really are beautiful.
the only other movie i can think of that rivals it is Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, which i've recommended before i think, but i'll recommend it again because why not. it's a 2002 movie, but i think they did a phenomenal job with the 2d and 3d hybrid animation blend. and if you like how they did the songs with Brother Bear, i think you'll also like how they did the music for Spirit. it has one of the best scores/soundtracks imo, but it's Hans Zimmer so no surprise there haha.
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron really is a good one, super underrated but a good one to react to
Omg YESSS! The movie and the soundtrack is 💯
Spirit and brother bear are my favourite movies to this day, it always brings back good memories for me
I'm so glad this movie is getting more love these days, its of my favorites, this along with others you should check out for the animation, story and score are: The Prince of Egypt, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Anastasia, Tarzan, Atlantis, Spirit, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White
5:00 That's Disney's Multiplane camera work, it's one of the oldest Disney tricks for showing background depth.
Multiplane camera wasn’t used after 80’s. If I remember correctly The Black Cauldron (1985) was the last one which actually used the old multiplane camera.
@@JeremyHighHill Of course, they still used that technique though it was developed in the 30's. James and Ninetailedbrush needs to learn about early animation and not just assume that 3D existed forever.
fun fact: this movie actually takes place in the ice age, hence the mammoths. the bears in this movies are cave bears, which is why they're so big, and have that little strip on They're chests
Ninetailedbrush always knows what's gonna happen I swear. It's just funny at this point. And cool.
I cry watching this movie every time. The animation is awesome and the music is so fun and moving! So glad you guys reacted to this
This is my all time favourite Disney movie, so underrated but so good
You guys should def react to Encanto next! The animation is honestly so gorgeous
And the songs are such bops like I've added some to my playlist 😂
@@bighitlyric3991
We don’t Talk about Bruno will forever be stuck in my head. Not complaining though tbh lol
@@theredalpha7290 I literally just got done listening to that on repeat LOL. It's my favorite. Surface Pressure is my second.
Lol those songs will be in their heads forever. Ecanto’s story isn’t my favorite but the soundtrack is fabulous.
It is good that movie? I don't know if it is worth watching because it looks like is full of stereotypes. Is like every time Disney do something that takes place in Latin America it has to be in a remote town that lives like they were in 1950. Traditional clothes and the lack of technology are not normal stuff here in Latin America.
there’s a deleted version - you can find it on youtube - of the scene where kenai tells koda he killed his mum, but without the phil collins music over it. i guess they changed it in the end because it was too dark and they had to soften the blow a little bit. it’s still super interesting to watch though, and the rough animation is so neat
1:00 "Cuz this is kinda giving me Tarzan vibes." Y'know what else will give you Tarzan vibes? Phil Collins giving yet ANOTHER GREAT soundtrack for this oft-forgotten classic!
When Koda amusingly said "2 more months mom 💤" that's actually what bears in real life do,it's called hibernation
I love this movie!
The message is really strong.
One of the greatest animated films of all time ^^
I freaking love this movie. I don't care if it's underrated it's one of Disney best movies.
Here's something you'll love: In the Brother Bear dvd, you have the option of watching the movie WITH Rut and Tuke. They sit in a movie theater and they talk throughout the whole movie. They even order a pizza at one point🤣🤣 I loved that option sometimes when I wanted to watch.
That commentary was so funny. 😂
This is the second movie I remember most from my childhood :,) I was so young at the time but the message and story always stuck 💜 So underrated 😭
Glad you guys watched the absolute favorite animated movie of my childhood. This movie's the reason I want to hug bears whenever I see them despite knowing that they WILL kill me 🥲 Such an underrated gem
Sitka and Tadashi (from big hero 6) are the best big brothers and they deserved better :(
I loved this movie as a kid. This was one of the main movies I watched a lot of. The others were the Black Cauldron and Pagemaster
Brother Bear is easily my favorite Disney movie! So glad to see it getting the love it deserves
Brother Bear is and always will be my fave Disney movie! I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed it 💜
You should see Encanto next!
YES
This is my absolute favourite movie soooo glad u guys reacted to it
My too!
17:59 Ninetailed: "Do you think it's possible that...."
me: "SHHHHH shUt uP ouO * nervous laugh *"
My favorite Disney movie of all time 💜💜💜
My too!
Also...the way you guys were reacting to the visual...yes chefs kiss
Guys there is a channel called the art of Aaron Blaise, he worked on the movie you are watching, he also was involved in Aladin animating Raja, and the Beauty and the Beast. He is so wholesome, making tutorials, teaching how to draw animals, their movements etc. O think any typo of collaboration would be so epic. Since you are animators of the next generation and react to a lot of his work. That conversation would be so interesting to so many people
Brother Bear is one my favourite animated movies it's just so good !! It's visually beautiful and I really love the story, the characters, the message, the animation, the songs I mean I can't list everything but I think everything perfect xD
I honestly don't know why it's so underrated and why so many people haven't seen it !
One of my favuorite movies! It's not as groundbreaking as many other amazing animated movies, but Brother Bear holds a special place in my heart.
I love the intro. It's beatifully animated and tells us everything we need to know about the brothers. The soundtrack is charming and nice.
That music while Kenai is chasing and fighting the bear has to be my favourite.
The colour pallete is so beautiful. The animals look soft and hugable.
The story is tragic but still has a lightness to it, because of the bear shenanigens. As a kid, I loved the humor of this movie. Still do, actually. I didn't know the moose had accents though, since I grew up with the Dutch version of this film. (Solid dub btw, the rams were done really well).
Koda's scared and sad expression when he finds out what happens, as well as him reuniting with his mom, always gets me.
And the ending is so heartwarming and nice, though a bit strange. Than again, this whole movie is a bit strange.
I absolutely love the movies you guys react to!!
This is still one of my favourite movies ever, so glad you're checking it out!
My fav movie ever, connects to me, im from alaska soo this hits home, the culture , story everything
Rutt and Tuke (the moose) have always been my favorites, too.
They are voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. These two used to do short live-action sketches called "The Great White North" in the 80s. The moose characters are kind of poking fun at their own voice actors, because if you watch any of those sketches, the characters that Moranis and Thomas play, sound exactly like Rutt and Tuke, and these sketches are just as funny, too.
You can find "The Great White North" skits on RUclips. I highly recommend checking them out, even if you just watch them on your own.
Great reaction as always, guys. Looking forward to the next one!
Don’t remember if y’all mentioned it or anyone in the comments said so but Joaquin Phoenix, he was Arthur Fleck in Joker(2019) and the uncle with the baseball bat in signs, voiced kenai :)
I actually saw this movie over the holidays for the first time so seeing your reaction is just taking me back a week!
One of the most underrated films ever. I love it so much! Its topic is the relationship between siblings before Elsa and Anna even existed as the big famous Disney siblings. And then there's the music by Phil Collins and those breathtaking landscape drawings ... perfection in one movie!!
You guys should really react to the Disney movie Dinosaur. It was made in the year 2000 and is another underrated animated Disney movie.
Agreed!
Yeah, though the 3D animation has eventually looked dated, its still really good.
OH MY GOD, YES PLEASE! one of my favorites as well
One of the first films I saw in the theater as a kid.
I was 5 when it came out and it scared me so much LOL
I still liked it though
this was my absolute favorite movie as a kid. i have 4 other sisters so whenever my parents bought something specifically for one of us they’d write our name on it but with this movie i insisted they write my name 5 times bc i loved it so much and didn’t want anyone to take it
I hope that Brother Bear focused more on the Natives than the bear aspect, that's one of the vices I had with The Princess and the Frog, I wished it focused more on Tiana than the frog aspect.
it's not just the bear aspect, but being able to see things from different perspectives and from different people's povs. Teaching how to be compassionate as well I think. As well as learning to depend on others and not try to carry everything on your own. You won't get much on the people themselves here, but it's much better than tparf imo. Such good and important lessons, such a shame it didn't get the credit it deserved. 🥺
@Simian Kleurde I agree. It definitely tried to start with taking a look at a different culture and history, but then immediately succumbed to what Disney considers "safe and comfortable" for the kids that certainly _aren't_ from said culture. The people just become background and forgotten. For a movie about trying to see from a different point of view, it sure stuck to the most familiar and non-indigenous views it possibly could. And I really hate to say that because man, it's one of the only things that stops me from fully enjoying it.
...The other thing being the revelation that a child got separated from his mother and went on a journey to find her... _with his mother's killer._ And then resolving the issue by trying to compare it to "eh, y'know, sometimes brothers are just shitty like that". Like, I'm sorry, but. *WHAT.*
@@theanafront3746 yeah I'm not crazy about that part either. You'll go for something like that, but not educate in a cool way about the culture/people? It's the only problem I had with the movie. The culture thing though, trying to do that now anyway, is there's always someone saying culture appropriation now. It can be educational and true and come from that people/culture and you'll still have so many hating on it and giving bad reviews and whatnot. Especially in a kids film but aye, the way the world is now I suppose. It's also doing it right though too. If it isn't done right, then it can be like an outsider did it, or someone who didn't care so that sucks too
@@bighitlyric3991 Well, that has a very easy solution: It's not cultural appropriation...if you just hire someone from that culture to _tell their story themselves._ When non-white stories are told through a white, western filter, it doesn't feel familiar to the person or people actually who grew up in that culture watching it, and doesn't challenge anyone else to actually step outside of their own perspectives. The people, culture and history just becomes a setting and background, and nothing more. Mulan (2020) is a perfect example of how that can go so wrong: instead of sending a white woman out to "soak up the culture" for a few days, they could've just hired someone who _grew up in it_ and saved themselves the money and the extra effort. (And consequently, make a movie that wasn't trash for it.)
But those stories never get told, because the exec's are terrified that it just won't make money somehow. Idk. We're getting closer (Coco, Moana), and I'm always holding out hope - it's just taking way longer than it should.
@@theanafront3746 definitely agreed.
My music teacher (im Bulgarian and the "transformation" song is sung by the Bulgarian women's choir) was in the choir singing the song. They had to learn Inuit language and they did an amazing job. If you know her you could even spot her in between the other women in the official music video.
I literally only learned a week ago that the voice for Denahi (the middle brother) was Jason Raize! He was best known for originating the role of Simba in the Lion King musical on Broadway, which is my all time favorite musical
Esta fue y siempre será mi película favorita desde que era niña, la vi miles de veces porque mi papá me había comprado el CD, que tiempos
I haven’t even watched yet but the title has me excited haha I LOVE this movie, and I think it’s such a shame that it never got much attention.
Definetly check out Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
if you haven't seen it yet! It's a 2002 Dreamworks animated movie and was a fav growing up.
the ending scene where Koda gets to say goodbye to his mom makes me sob every time
This one was my favorite Disney movie after The King Lion. I loved how the magic was so epic but short.
been loving these wholesome recommended Disney movie reactions recently
This is one of my favorite childhood movies! At one point, my brother and I had Rutt and Tuk's 'I spy' exchange fully memorized.
I've just realized why I love British Columbia as well as pink and gold skies is because of this movie. The color and landscape is so pretty but the story makes me cry esp koda and his mom's reunion because he can never be back with her. It was a feeling that stuck with me when I watched this as a child. Thank you for this reaction!
Phil Collins, you goddamn beautiful soul 😭 of his music is involved you KNOW it's a classic. I've adored this movie since I was a lil kid, I'm so glad it's getting a lot of the spotlight recently. The story, the animation, the characters and the music is just outstanding.
I remember watching this movie as a kid with my little brother and we cried SO hard at the ending. Still not over it.
This is an amazing movie - every time I watch it I see new things. Even just watching your reaction I noticed something new. During the Family song, the lyrics sing “I see the way we used to be” as Koda and two other cubs reach up for the seagulls, mirroring the 3 brothers in the opening song! Mind blowing animation and top notch storytelling yet again ♥️
I can't believe you hadn't seen this until now but so glad you did! This is in my top 3 favorite Disney films of all time; Brother Bear, Mulan, and Lilo and Stitch, absolutely god tier
Good choices.
This movie came out the year I was born, I watched it so many times growing up. Honestly this is probably my favorite Disney movie.
This movie is one of my all Times favorites, i watched it NON STOP as a kid with my brother 😂 I still always cry when he tells koda about his mom... 😭😂
Brother bear is top tier, sad bust also uplifting. Felt all the emotions watching for the first time as a kid.
Wooly Mammoths were around as recently as around 4,000 years ago. Which is approximately 1000 years after the Pyramids of Giza were built.
Thank you for watching this movie! It's one of my favorites!!
Now you guys have to watch Spirit 🐎😍
This is one of my favorite disney movies and the sole reason bears are my favorite animal
One of my absolute favourite childhood movies!
i used to watch this movie all the time when i was little but i didn't remember how BEAUTIFUL the visuals are!
Great flick and reaction guys! At 11:30 you mentioned that the moose sounded Canadian, they’re played/voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, two classic Canadian actors and comedians. They are best known for their titular roles on The Bob and Doug McKenzie Show on SCTV from the 1980’s. Almost like an SNL sketch show.
Rutt and Tuke are very stereotypically Canadian but so funny 😆.
Rick Moranis also played the neighbor in Ghostbusters.
The two moose basically ARE Bob and Doug McKenzie
@@michaelmcintyre3871pretty much lol 😂
I absolutely love this film from the colour's to the music and story also did you watch the ending clips there absolutely hilarious 😂
This is one of my favourite childhood movies, it made me always emotional and the songs made me happy
I found out your channel from HP reactions and I'm sooo grateful because I'm hooked on your channel now 🔥🔥🔥 you guys are so cool
I remember as if it were today I sat in the living room at 4/5 years old watching this animation... Very strong memory to this day
Love this movie. The moose are some of my favourite side-characters. I have the dvd and I often watch the movie with the commentary on because the moose provide the commentary and it's so funny.
The moose are so funny!! I’m gonna go watch that now
I don't think the whole movies about a basket eh😂
