I had the pleasure of meeting Bart face to face when I made a stop on my vacation in 1997, and let me tell you... I've never met a gentler, kinder, and more monstrously sized creature in my life. All Doug needed to say was "Bart, get angry" and you'd think that bear was about to eat you whole. But the Doug would say "easy, big guy" and he'd literally turn into a big teddy bear.
Bart’s 23 years on this planet were filled with love, attention, enrichment, and FOOD. He was the most hardworking and the most talented bear that has ever appeared on camera. Even 23 years after his passing, his legacy is still going strong. Rest easy, big fella. ❤
@@TheHamsterMaster We are with you on this. Too bad that they all cannot be Our friends, but it's probably better that way. 🐻👋😎 I wish we didn't have to eat them. However I'm a realist, and I didn't make the Rules. Lucky are the ones that never come across us humans.😣
jack my american or canadian brother ,dont ever cry for bart is in a better place he ate a few kilos of chicken for breakfast every morning while you where trying to gather wood to make a pancake in a fire from sticks
Do you ever think about our ancestors for a moment, maybe there was a man like Doug 1,000 years ago who tamed a wild bear cub, fostering a kindly bond together. Then think about how his community would view him, or anybody really. Compare that to how he's viewed today. Today he is a kindred man to these bears, and it makes us all reflect positively on life and all creation. Back then, Doug would be like a druid shaman god-speaking woods traveler. He'd probably be socially ostracized, but spiritually revered and confided in by those who sought him out of piety. It would be a strange world.
Was blown away *spoilers alert* When they kill the bear he lays down on a tree trunk and gives an amazing death stare. He truly was an incredible actor! What an achievement and legacy.
When I let a huge dog's powerful jaws near my face I can't help but think about how they can just kill me at any moment. This guy is on another level of trust. Love it.
I really love Bart. I was so fascinated by him in the movie "The Edge!". Such scary scenes in that movie being stalked by a grizzly like that. If animals get Academy Awards, Bart really deserve one for this picture. While looking him up I was very sorry to hear that he's no longer with us.
Bob Liggett Animals do get "academy awardds". They're called "Cleo Awards". I'm not sure when these awards were started. But, Bart certainly deserved a few. :)
Bart died 19 years ago. It was so long... At that time I was a child and when I knew about this story... I cried... R.I.P. Bart... You were a good boy! P.S. I am from Russia but it is very sad for me.
I had the most awesome experience of meeting Doug and Bart, just before Bart died. I will never forget that day. It is one thing to hear about a beautiful animal so large and majestic. It is another thing to meet and see him face to face. I still remember his favorite toy......a Rubbermaid garbage can, Thanks Doug and Bart.
I know EXACTLY the feeling that you felt when you lost him. People say, " I will never have another animal or whatever in my life because it is too painful" but life isn't worth living without them.
This video is so moving. They loved Bart so much and he loved them. I am astounded how he is able to train bears. I didn’t think it was possible. Beautiful
I would rather have a man speak the truth then sit there and tell me things to make me feel good but they are not true. He had a special bond with a bear that some of us could only hope for in a lifetime.
A love story, A story of happiness, A story of joys, A story of father and son, A life story... Bart will never be forgotten,because Bart will always be unique. Congratulations on taking the vídeos to the world showing how a bear can live in society and love a man. Unforgettable love story.
Bart was my favorite heroe - being a cancer survivor is no peanuts but hardcore. I'm so glad you found two orphans to care for. God bless you for your immense work for preserving wildlife - bears are my closest favorites in the world 💓🐻
Gosh, seeing him greiving over Bart's last breath was really sad and moving. There was such a closeness, and I am sure it must have been almost near the level of losing his child. My heart goes out to them. Bart really had a great legacy, "starring" in many movies! Many thanks to Doug Suess! Thank you so very much for this video.
....I've never cried so hard in my life, I've had friends that were animals, A dog named Molly..and tabby cat named Angel.. and Rouger.. Another dog, a chocolate lab at that.. and When knew he was gonna die.. He did the same thing Bart did....It was like he was giving me his essence.. his entire soul.. It's hard living without a good friend. more than a friend. My Brother.
Doug & Bart were simply put amazing & now he has Bart 2 & Honey bear. The work he has done with these bears is unequaled. This man is like 72 years old & still rough housing with Bart 2. It will be a sad day when we lose not just those two beautiful animals but Doug & his wife also.
Bart the bear was the most remarkable bears ever. One of my favorite movies is The Bear. Beautifully filmed and directed, it moved me deeply. With refrain from a lot of dialog, one can watch and admire the lives of bears vs man. Very moving!
Die Szenen mit dem Bär wirkten so phantastisch echt gruselig danke vielen Dank an den Bären und die amerikanische Filmindustrie USA wir lieben Eure Filme greetings from germany
You will never be forgotten, Bart the Bear!! I actually came here to see if it showed Bart was in the movie 12 Monkeys, but sadly learned of his cancer & death ~brought me to tears ~ Thank you Doug & Lynne Seus
THIS MAN , A HUMAN BEING WITH A LOVING HEART AND SOUL ITS AMAZING WHAT HE DID WITH BART AND THE OTHER BEARS. GIVING LOVE AND RESPECT AND LOVING DISCIPLINE!!! WOW ALOT OF PARENTS SHOULD HAVE TAKEN NOTES FROM THIS MAN!!! ❤🙏 💪
Wow. 😢😢😭😭❤️❤️❤️ my heart explode after seeing this. And nowadays, we seen more people took there life’s in a sketchy moment, we’re they love to raise wild animals. It’s amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very emotional it made me cry as if I had known him for a long time thank you for sharing your story with us. He was indeed a beautiful bear. R.I.P 🐻🥀💐🏵️🌹
the very last part of him trying to introduce himself and bart, bart sat on him and had a look in his eye as to say "sorry doug can't talk right now" he looks soo happy and playful with his owner. mr sues, thanks for taking care of those wonderful bears:)))
Amazing bear and care takers. Enjoyed his ( barts ) movie. But I watched in the past and still do today, the bond and dedication with Bart is just plain amazing. Hats off.
All bears are beautiful.. Parsley and her cub , her nemasis, Van... another great Alaskan bear love story. Thanks to all bear and wolf conservationists. Amen
Wow, every time I watch this beautiful video I can't stop crying 😢. I strongly believe that Doug's and Bart's influence through iconic movies led to December 2017 complete hunting ban on grizzly bears 🐻 in British Columbia. That was a very special day for me. I absolutely love bears and respect their space. Through years I've been watching for hours at the time at a local Vancouver mountain 2 beautiful grizzly bears on 5 acres fenced natural habitat. What a intelligent creatures, Grinder "interior grizzly" would recognize me instantly, since I've been visiting for last 15 years. God bless Mr Seus and Bart and other actor bears. 🙏
Beautiful story. What a talent the bear was. I like hearing about his friendly relationship with Anthony Hopkins. Two awe inspiring thespians, who couldn’t be more different, working together.
You guys are great people. I saw you on Animal Planets Growing Up Grizzly and I could see how much love you had for these bears and how much love they have for you. I couldnt believe what i heard about how few grizzly bears there are left in North America. I was heartbroken. Theres hope though if there are people like you left in the world...if everyone had the heart that you guys have I can only imagine how great this world would be.
I love seeing things like this. It shows that there really is a profound connection between humans and nature that is lost upon so many. I don't work with bears (and quite frankly would be quite nervous around even the tamest of them) but I do work with animals. Mostly parrots (They don't bite as hard :-) But I love seeing people forming such wonderful relationships with any animal. Bart was to Doug what my Maggie (a blue and gold macaw) is to me :-)
Thank you for this post. If I could only have one favorite this would be the one. Fresh wind to the heart and soul. Tears mixed with laughter from 7:03...to end. To Doug&Lynn and all involved,credited or uncredited-well done,well done indeed! How could anything that powerful be so gentle? Seeing the love between Doug and Bart three words surface-(pure-undiluted-envy).
I hope everyone realizes how truly amazing this is... brings tears to my eyes. thank you so much Doug for the dedication and loving what you do! its what you do and its absolutely amazing and beautiful. I love people like you amazing! the heart is full ❤💯
This made me cry. I'm still stunned and I can barely find words to say. Doug Seus is one special man. This video did more than put a lump in my throat, it made me almost jealous that I wasn't there to play with Bart too! Five stars, as if I have to say that!
The Bear is one of my most treasured childhood movies. i watched it just recently again and i still love it just as much. my kids will definately be shown that movie as well. Bart was a beautiful creature.
I remember sitting at my computer and reading that Bart had passed. I cried for hours. I still cry when I see videos of him or watch his movies. Yeah, they were his movies, He was the star in all of them. It breaks my heart to see Doug in such anguish from his loss. We were lucky to have been around to see just how spectacular Doug and Bart were as a team and family. While just watching these videos, it occurred to me just how similar my dog, a 135lb Great Pyrenees, and a bear play. it brings a smile to my face. Thank you to Doug and Bart for some great times in my life. Yep, I'm crying again.
Doug, Lynne if you read these few words from France...I'm totally in admiration for your way of life and your way of bein in love with the AWSOME "little" Bart...I'm a great fan of him in every picture he played.... I have been so sad in 2000...but I m sure he is really in peace...you gave him a life in peace and harmony... RIP little Bart... And for you Doug, Lynne...you' re two humans beings like I never saw...two prophets.... The great suffering that I'm feeling now is too see all the little bears who played in the movie 'The Bear" 28 years after, they're in awful zoos and I don t know where they are all !...I'm sooooo sad about that... Take a look at this link..... Doug, Lynne....I should be so honored simply if you could read these few words (sorry for the faults !!!) and if you just could doing a little "Hello" from your so far away mountains....I should be so proud and happy... God take care of you two and Bart too...he's now your "litlle" Angel..... Peace, an excellent health and happyness for you for ever and ever... www.mesopinions.com/petition/animaux/transfert-certains-animaux-vers-refuges-rennes/19909
I can't believe how enormous of a loss a Grizzly bear like Bart was. How many of them do you think are capable of living their whole life with a human and not killing him/her? Too few. I only hope his new bears can be just as good. I believe in them.
Well there are more capable of doing that than you might think. There wasn't really anything special about Bart, it's just that he was adopted and trained from a young age. Bears are very intelligent as we know. Certainly you're far more likely to get a human killing a bear than vice versa. In China, they keep them in tiny cages they can't even turn around in, for up to 20 years, and milk them daily for their stomach bile for their useless traditional medicines. It's a torturous process. Bears suffer enormously at the hands of humans, as do many animals. It's heart warming to see the bond between Bart and Doug :)
@@alasskaluna2446 he wasn’t special in the way that he was tame but that he knew how to perform on screen. He knew when the camera is on and that’s something you can’t expect from most bears
I loved Bart in the Great Outdoors. He made such an awesome movie even better. R.I.P Bart! :( My deepest sympathy goes out to Doug and Lynne Seus as their love for him is as strong as it gets.
When I see someone like you giving back so much love and time makes me wish I could do something. But as a retiree and living on structure money there's just not enough. But you rejuvenate my faith in mankind. I'm glad to know there's someone like you in this world. Keep up the good work.
I'm really touched by this story... I loved this bear since "The bear" movie, and still love him in "Legend of the Fall" and "The Edge". Sometimes I think that Bart was not a bear at all, but he had such an human part... We miss you pal, I hope to see you at Rainbow Bridge :)
I fell in love with Bart the Bear when I saw him in THE BEAR and it broke my heart when I heard of his death. This is such a touching video of Doug and Lynne speaking about Bart. I understand EXACTLY what Doug meant when he told of Bart's last breath in his face. Three years ago, I lost my 14 year old Australian Terrier to cancer. She put up a good fight, but let me know when it was time. I truly believe that until a person has loved an animal, a part of their soul remains unawakened.
Aren’t they the same just from different parts of the country? I always thought Kodiak bears lived on Kodiak island and work coastal bears that grew much larger because of the food they had readily available but thought they were all technically grizzly bears please correct me if I’m wrong
Genetically they are the same animal. Brown bears are simply grizzlies that live near the coast which gives them access to salmon, thus giving them much more size than the inland bears who have to hunt down elk and moose for all their food. Bart was raised in captivity and thus had access to all the food he wanted/needed, which gave him his great size.
Skeleton of kodiaks is lightly bigger and more massive than of a grizzly, comparable to polar bears. Also there are distinct differences in appearance. Depending on food ressources grizzlies and kodiaks can reach almost equal size and weight though. Interestingly the monstrous kodiak bears are supposed to be less aggressive than grizzlies as they established a kind of peaceful coexistence within the rather small territory of Kodiak Island during recent millenia.

+1979WSchamps absolutely agree, you can see mutual respect
There are for both Doug and Bart. Bart won't be the only ambassador bear.
They are heroes 🐻🥰🥰
For caring about animals?
Bart was crazy about him
You already know you're a succesful man if you raised a bear, watched it become your best friend, and saw it die alongside you.
What a devastating loss to the world, Bart was an incredible and beautiful creature. Doug Sues is amazing himself.
- I believe all animals are precious.

What about bart 2

I’m not sure if Brutus the Bear was a bear actor but maybe he technically was, he would be a close second.
No cgi will ever replace Bart the bear. Rest in peace big guy. 🙏

no for 1988 the bear

Me too!!
that man gave him a good life. such a loving man.such a great bear
Yes. And it goes to Show, that even a big bad bear can be as gentle as a puppy under the right circumstances. Doug is a Shaman.

He was a hell of a bear! Watching The Edge now and it is amazing how good he was!
Ya. Too bad he didn't eat alec baldwin.🥴👋👏👏👏👏👏😎
Just finished watching the edge.
Was blown away *spoilers alert*
When they kill the bear he lays down on a tree trunk and gives an amazing death stare. He truly was an incredible actor! What an achievement and legacy.
Bart was a Grizzly and grew to be 9'6 and 1,800 lbs and a great bear-I'm glad he had the Suess' to raise him. RIP Bart, we miss you!!

Loved his work in "The Edge".... RIP sweet Bart xxx
In this film he was amazing and creepy. RIP Bart and Jerry Goldsmith.
Doug Seus is alive and well!
I got to meet Bart and after that they sent me postcards! So sad he's gone
Loved ALL his movies.
Scenery isn’t really alive without wildlife, great line so true.wish I could visit you two
I thought the Same thing. What a Great Statement. 👊 and True.
Truly Amazing ... I had the pleasure of 'meeting' BART many years ago at The Sportsmen's Show in Toronto. What a beautiful animal ...
This video is so moving. They loved Bart so much and he loved them. I am astounded how he is able to train bears. I didn’t think it was possible. Beautiful

A love story,
A story of happiness,
A story of joys,
A story of father and son,

While just watching these videos, it occurred to me just how similar my dog, a 135lb Great Pyrenees, and a bear play. it brings a smile to my face. Thank you to Doug and Bart for some great times in my life. Yep, I'm crying again.
will always think of him while watching The great outdoors, Legends of the Fall and The Edge!!!!!
What a great couple!! I can't stop crying.
Just watched The Edge and was smitten with his performance. Great job and what a beautiful creature. Thank you for making him part of all our lives.
Doug, Lynne if you read these few words from France...I'm totally in admiration for your way of life and your way of bein in love with the AWSOME "little" Bart...I'm a great fan of him in every picture he played....
I have been so sad in 2000...but I m sure he is really in peace...you gave him a life in peace and harmony...
RIP little Bart...
And for you Doug, Lynne...you' re two humans beings like I never saw...two prophets....
The great suffering that I'm feeling now is too see all the little bears who played in the movie 'The Bear"
28 years after, they're in awful zoos and I don t know where they are all !...I'm sooooo sad about that...
Take a look at this link.....
Doug, Lynne....I should be so honored simply if you could read these few words (sorry for the faults !!!) and if you just could doing a little "Hello" from your so far away mountains....I should be so proud and happy...
God take care of you two and Bart too...he's now your "litlle" Angel.....
Peace, an excellent health and happyness for you for ever and ever...

I can't believe how enormous of a loss a Grizzly bear like Bart was. How many of them do you think are capable of living their whole life with a human and not killing him/her? Too few. I only hope his new bears can be just as good. I believe in them.
Well there are more capable of doing that than you might think. There wasn't really anything special about Bart, it's just that he was adopted and trained from a young age. Bears are very intelligent as we know. Certainly you're far more likely to get a human killing a bear than vice versa.
In China, they keep them in tiny cages they can't even turn around in, for up to 20 years, and milk them daily for their stomach bile for their useless traditional medicines. It's a torturous process. Bears suffer enormously at the hands of humans, as do many animals. It's heart warming to see the bond between Bart and Doug :)
He was one of a kind💜 🐼📼
@@alasskaluna2446 he wasn’t special in the way that he was tame but that he knew how to perform on screen. He knew when the camera is on and that’s something you can’t expect from most bears
Thanks for caring for my favorite animal s God will bless you both tha. Ar prachus to me
I loved Bart in the Great Outdoors. He made such an awesome movie even better. R.I.P Bart! :( My deepest sympathy goes out to Doug and Lynne Seus as their love for him is as strong as it gets.
Came here after watching The Edge....love to this couple who loved Bart. I love him now...RIP Bart.
When I see someone like you giving back so much love and time makes me wish I could do something. But as a retiree and living on structure money there's just not enough. But you rejuvenate my faith in mankind. I'm glad to know there's someone like you in this world. Keep up the good work.
So grateful you are so real that you shared that oneness soulmate bond. Weeping with you still.
I'm really touched by this story... I loved this bear since "The bear" movie, and still love him in "Legend of the Fall" and "The Edge".
Sometimes I think that Bart was not a bear at all, but he had such an human part...
We miss you pal, I hope to see you at Rainbow Bridge :)
I fell in love with Bart the Bear when I saw him in THE BEAR and it broke my heart when I heard of his death. This is such a touching video of Doug and Lynne speaking about Bart. I understand EXACTLY what Doug meant when he told of Bart's last breath in his face. Three years ago, I lost my 14 year old Australian Terrier to cancer. She put up a good fight, but let me know when it was time. I truly believe that until a person has loved an animal, a part of their soul remains unawakened.
I really think this is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Mr. Suess we need more people like you in this world
The fact they both land is so beautiful thank u
He was the greatest animal actor in the history of film
Grizzly bears are the smallest of the brown bear family. Bart was a Kodiak brown bear - the largest of the brown bear species. He was huge....
Aren’t they the same just from different parts of the country? I always thought Kodiak bears lived on Kodiak island and work coastal bears that grew much larger because of the food they had readily available but thought they were all technically grizzly bears please correct me if I’m wrong
Genetically they are the same animal. Brown bears are simply grizzlies that live near the coast which gives them access to salmon, thus giving them much more size than the inland bears who have to hunt down elk and moose for all their food. Bart was raised in captivity and thus had access to all the food he wanted/needed, which gave him his great size.
Skeleton of kodiaks is lightly bigger and more massive than of a grizzly, comparable to polar bears. Also there are distinct differences in appearance. Depending on food ressources grizzlies and kodiaks can reach almost equal size and weight though. Interestingly the monstrous kodiak bears are supposed to be less aggressive than grizzlies as they established a kind of peaceful coexistence within the rather small territory of Kodiak Island during recent millenia.
