When an impulsive boy named Kenai is magically transformed into a bear, he must literally walk in another's footsteps until he learns some valuable life lessons. His courageous and often zany journey introduces him to a forest full of wildlife, including the lovable bear cub Koda, hilarious moose Rutt and Tuke, woolly mammoths and rambunctious rams.

Top Critics Reviews

Give one chef eggs, cream, and sugar, and he'll produce creme brulee. In another kitchen, you'll get plain old vanilla pudding. What we have in Brother Bear, for all the potentially tasty ingredients, is pudding.

It feels like a project that got quietly pushed through the pipeline while the studio gears up for bigger and better things.

A lame duck of a movie.

Brother Bear is a very mild animated entry from Disney with a distinctly recycled feel.
