Brother Bear sits, statistically, as the 5th worst Disney animated film ever, which, according to Rotten Tomatoes, places it 69th out of 73 Disney animated films with only 37%. Ideas of unoriginality and poor writing plague Brother Bear, even if it was an academy-nominated tale, but most agree the critics may have gotten this one wrong.
The rest of the cast in this film is fantastic. My own dog is named after Koda in this film, because of how damn loveable that little bear is, as he walks the line between a little annoying sibling, but also someone most anyone would die for. The rest of the characters in this film all make for great comedy, from the Canadian moose, to the arguing goats and other sidekicks.
1 Phil Collins Brings So Much Joy and Pain to ‘Brother Bear' Phil Collins’ score is fantastic throughout, and really works for the upbeat yet melancholic feel of the entire film, mixing love and death so closely. Something that makes it more effective than previous Disney musicals is the fact that the characters themselves mostly don’t sing, which makes the film never feel like it is breaking out of the emotion of the scene, as spontaneous singing can risk doing.
Brother Bear may have gotten some things wrong off-screen, but on the surface, it is a solid Disney animated film. With actual consequences to character actions that force them to change their outlook on life, as well as great comedy, Brother Bear feels like a film dreadfully underappreciated and perhaps an example of good execution, but wrong timing.
