Brother Bear [DVD]

Product Information

Before we see the Disney logo, Koda breaks the fourth wall in a post-credits scene. He tells the viewer that according to the state law life regulation, "no fish were harmed in the making of this film", referencing the American Humane Association warning "No animals were harmed in the making of this film." However he was proven wrong as an adult bear is seen chasing a salmon, the latter crying for help as the bear with an attempt to eat the salmon. Koda knows a gesture for cutting the camera, as he tells the cameraman "Cut!", but the camera was still rolling. He then sees that the bear has the salmon now, and this makes Koda cover the lens with his paws, so that the audience can't see the bear eating the salmon. But the fish is still heard eating, as the bear is heard burping. The movie then finally ends. According to Ruben Aquino, supervising animator for the character of Denahi, Denahi was originally meant to be Kenai's father; later this was changed to Kenai's older brother. [10] Byron Howard, supervising animator for Kenai in bear form, said that earlier in production a bear named Grizz (who resembles Tug in the film and is voiced by the same actor) was supposed to have the role of Kenai's mentor. [11] Art Director Robh Ruppel stated that the ending of the film originally showed how Kenai and Denahi get together once a year to play when the northern lights are in the sky. [11] Release [ ]

In March 2001, Joaquin Phoenix confirmed he was cast in the film exclaiming, "Oh, but forget the Oscar nomination [for Gladiator]. The real pinnacle is that I'm playing an animated character in a Disney film. Isn't that the greatest? I play a Native American transformed into a bear. It's called The Bears. Don't call me a leading man. I don't care about that. I'm a leading bear. I am content!" [7] After the filmmakers heard his audition tapes for Finding Nemo, Jeremy Suarez was cast as Koda. [1] Earlier standard-definition TV airings of the film such as on Disney Channel SD present the film in 4:3 pan-and-scan format, hence the aspect ratio shift from 1:75:1 to 2:35:1 as seen in the original widescreen version of the film is nonexistent due to the aspect ratio consistently staying at 4:3 throughout its runtime.

Disney's "Brother Bear" is more mystical and New Age than your average animated movie about animals, although it does have a couple of talking moose and a cute cubby bear. It's ambitious in its artistry, incorporating images from prehistoric cave paintings and playing with the screen width. But it doesn't have the zowie factor of "The Lion King" or "Finding Nemo," and is sweet rather than exciting. Children and their parents are likely to relate on completely different levels, the adults connecting with the transfer of souls from man to beast, while the kids are excited by the adventure stuff.

In spite of its negative critical reception, Brother Bear gained a more positive reception from audiences. The film eventually obtained a small fanbase, and is currently considered as one of Disney's most underrated feature films. On the VHS version of the film, it is was presented in the widescreen format (albeit letterboxed) rather than the pan-and-scan format. This also occurred in Home on the Range. This and Home on the Range are the only animated Disney films to be presented in the widescreen format instead of the pan-and-scan format on the VHS release (not counting the "Widescreen Edition Release" VHS of the Disney/Pixar film A Bug's Life).

Originally the film was supposed to be released in the spring of 2004 but Disney decided to release the film in the fall of 2003 because Disney thought of promoting Brother Bear on the Platinum Edition DVD release of The Lion King and due to production troubles with Home on the Range which took the spring 2004 release and ended up being one of the worst movies Disney created.
