Brother Bear...?

Brother Bear was very underrated. . . and it went through without a bang. This has to do with the new trend of Disney features. . . Disney produces so much that the word "Disney" is starting to lose its zing. The logo is used so much, for example, that it's no longer all that thrilling. And DVDs come out each week so animation is now an "expectation" and "standard" that the public can just shrug off, "We can see Disney at home."
It's losing the magic.
Anyway, that's one reason why 2-D animation is "dead," according to Eisner, and why they're out to conquer 3-D. Pixar, after all, is doing remarkably well because it has maximum one release per year! If Disney cuts back on its animation, then one day, more creative imput and talent can be made per film less often, to eventually get that public zing back.
That's why so many people didn't see Brother Bear. It didn't totally flop, but it could have certainly done better.
As for your question, the story is very Disneyesque. I find the film so entertaining, I'm going to purchase this one. (Keep in mind, the only films I've found quality enough to purchase, released since 1994, are Lion King, Fantasia 2000, Lilo and Stitch, and Brother Bear). That's a pretty high standard. "Bear" lacked in the song aspect. . . the music is very good, but the lack of traditional characters singing (in good songs, at least...I'm not counting the sequels!
) seems to make the film not 100% in my Disney book.
It's not a giant laugh every four minutes (but what Disney movie was before Hercules and Emporer's New Groove?), but VERY charming. Great characters, too. Good message. A very good Disney film I was particularly pleased in seeing.
Definitely see it. Too bad the VERY talented animators were laid off.
