Review of Brother Bear

Brother Bear (2003)
4/10
From a Disney animation fan: No.
30 March 2004
This movie really has no soul, none of the wit and charm of Lilo and Stitch, none of the spark of Beauty and the Beast, really nothing that makes it anything worth watching. Everything is clichéd and easy, which would be okay if it was funny (for an adult, at least), but it is not.

It does have a few moments at which I chuckled, but mostly I rolled my eyes or grimaced. A special raspberry for the music: yes, it was a decent soundtrack, but its forced in and seems to grate rather than blend. Why the taboo against character's singing like they did in the good old days?? Music was at the heart and soul of Disney animation, and now its gone.

No charisma, no spark, no charm.
