Warning: MINOR SPOILERS
This are some of the reasons why I am a huge Disney fun.
Disney, has yet again wave its magic wand and created some wonders. Brother Bear is one of those wonders, and will go down as one of Disney's finest creations.
Brother Bear is the story of a person, a native American - Indian, desperate for revenge,who was magically transformed into a bear. The only thing that can change him back to his human form, is to go to a place where "lights touches the earth". He then began his amazing, incredible journey into finding the "lights" - and eventually finding his own self.
As every Disney film, a touch of comedy and colorful characters were added to this film to reach out the younger viewers. Contrary to most Disney's fairy tales, most of it's non-traditional movies (Lion King, Lilo and Stitch) follows a very simple pattern: Entertain and Educate. Most fairy tales are basically based on magics, princess, warriors; mainly made to entertain us and to remind us of our childhood fantasies; where a princess and his knight in shining armor overcomes many obstacles and in the end lives happily ever after. A few films made by Disney has made us laugh along the way and yet delivers a very strong message. Messages that teach us in a very entertaining way - the Disney way.
Brother Bear's message was simply the form of acceptance and understanding. Disney may have delivered it in a very unique way, but the main point of the message is still very strong. In today's society, many of us are caught up with our own ignorance, our lack or our own understanding towards others, or our own passion for revenge, usually blinds us from the truth. One of the main characters said "bears do not feel anything, they are stupid.." is a symbolic approach of how humans hate things they do not consider "normal" or like them. As the story goes along, The human transformed into a bear, saw how bears live and interact with each other. He saw a side of the bears he never saw before. He then realize that beyond the grizzly, terrifying features of the animals is just one part. His previous thoughts about how he labeled bears being "monsters" while he was still human, completely change when he saw how these animals live - a lifestyle no farther from humans.
Simply put, Don't be too quick judging others. What you see is just one part; you haven't seen the part we share together. Brother Bear, I must say, is one of the few animated film that teaches us lessons we need to learn.
Many may have given this film some very poor ratings and some may say it's not one of Disney's greatest films. Do yourself a favor and get past all the negativity. May not be one of the best, but rest assured you won't leave dissatisfied. Treat yourself for some wholesome laughter and genuine lessons.
Rating: 10 out of 10. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
