*Me:* I can't believe the Brother Bear franchise died before a proper sequel. *Brother Bear 2:* QUIT TELLING PEOPLE I'M DEAD *Me:* Sometimes I can still hear its voice!
Channel Awesome it was a great review did not see the movie I was to old by the time it came out I was born 1991 Doug love the Chicago skyline as the Disney logo
Kristopher Shafer I do enjoy a few of Phil Collins's songs as well. The main issue is that the first movie has a habit of putting Phil Collins songs over scenes that should have an emotional impact. Just watch the scene from "Brother Bear" where Kenai is admitting he killed Koda's mother. Then watch the deleted scene, without Phil Collins's song. That's the main issue Doug has with his music.
I admit Phil really didn't need to be in the first. I watch the deleted scenes where Koda finds out about his mother's death without the song and it was honestly a improvement.
Even the directors of this movie realized that Phil didn't have the sound they wanted for this film. And Phil understood and didn't take it personally but it was just sownthingbthey learned too late in the making if the Film
Well, since he's not really a Disney fan and has admitted as much himself, you kinda have to take it with a grain of salt. Disney knows what their fans like and makes their films for that audience first and foremost, so these reviews are basically looking at them from the perspective of an average filmgoer who isn't a fan. In some cases, his insights are right on the money (The Return Of Jafar) but in other cases he fails to see the appeal of films that Disney fans generally really like (The Lion King 1 1/2). I keep coming back because it's interesting to hear when he discovers something that he didn't know was good but any Disney fan could have told him.
What I don't get is why the sequel came out on top. I'm not joking, go on rotten tomatoes. One if not the most famous movie critic sites is now untrustable
me too...-I can't really tell why but there is somethingthat feels like they are all th same...you don't really get a feel for the animators behind them..like their style...
Probably will be hybrid, 3D is faster and therefore cheaper. Well, we can look forward to Don Bluths upcoming oldschool animation at least! Just a question of when it will be done..
I do too. Brother Bear had such a good message for bears/animals too. Sure Bears are powerful, dangerous animals, but like all wild animals, they still have a society. Behavior that is accepted among the other Bears, and in a sense, do have families... like the Wolves and the Wolf Pack. (always holding the safety of the Pack to the most importance, even if it means leaving behind vulnerable members)
a lot of people I know (including myself) actually really enjoyed the first brother bear, my brother and I were always quoting it along with the Emperor's New Groove. This sequel..meh, it's just kinda there, not adding, not taking, it's harmless honestly
Actually....they sorta did with Sleeping Beauty....and supposedly it was to be the first of many...see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Princess_Enchanted_Tales:_Follow_Your_Dreams
I think I've seen his movie before, except the annoying sidekick tried to put the two together instead of have them apart. And it was pretty damn good. And it was called Shrek.
Crazy Horse 9000 "Oh, God, the only thing more frightening than Slenderman ... country music." -- Marik plays The Arrival. Lol, seriously, I have a physical revulsion to most country music. It's ridiculous.
ThatOneGinge What really pissed me off about this film was how it shafted Denahi, Ditka, Tanana, and Koda's mom. They deserved to have bigger roles in this film.
unfortunately denahi's voice actor died. but they could have found someone else. denahi is nowhere to be found. neither is tanana, or sitka or koda's mom who are spirits didn't even make an appearance to give encouragement of any sort etc.
Man, I hope Doug gets to "Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin" soon. Or "The Tigger Movie"... Or "Piglet's Big Movie". For sequels, most of the Pooh movies are consistently good. And surprisingly emotional.
I love the first Brother Bear. I thought it was one of, if not THE most under appreciated animated Disney feature. It certainly had the best visuals. The transformation scene was amazing.
Brother Bear 2 was nice too. But I had a hard time getting into Kenai's voice even though I love Patrick Dempsey. It was a little too distractingly different from Jouquin Pheonix's.
It was my favourite, too. I actually got upset when some reviews said that it is a rip-off of Lion King. Why? Because a father-figure died? The story and the message are nothing alike!
I enjoyed the first movie to. Though I do agree with Doug that the saddest part did not need a song over it. It would have had more impact if it was just instrumental. Anyway.... I have mixed feelings on the sequel. I don't hate it like everyone else. Like Doug I think the animation was great, and while the story was nothing new... its not bad either. Its just been done before. I guess I would call it ok. There's a song in it I like, "It Will Be Me", that's sad but I thought was beautiful. I liked the music in general. Again nothing super amazing but it was nice. I guess that's why I feel conflicted. Everyone seems to have so much hate for this, but I think it was ok. I don't mind watching it for its music and animation and again, its a decent enough if overused story. For a direct to DVD sequel its pretty much what I was expecting. I guess I'm the only one who can stand it. To each their own and all that.
Koda is nowhere nowhere near as bad as Mushu was in Mulan 2. Yes, he gets upset but he doesn’t actively sabotage the rekindling relationship and the ticking clock element of the Equinox never comes into harsh focus like a race against time, so his behaviour doesn’t impact the journey in a negative way. He hears a conversation out of context and like the kid he is, runs away because he can’t process what it means for him and his relationship with Kenai. He even has an independent face heel turn and tries to make Kenai happy even if it means he has to be alone again.
I really loved how Koda was so scared he'd lose Kenia. And the part where he saves him and instead of getting anger at and scolding him Kenia comforts him. "What would have I done if I'd lost you." I just love that line of diolouge so much. He could have so easily have yelled and blamed Koda for what happened but he doesn't. I definitely think the really showed the brotherly love better in this one than the first brother bear.
And Koda could have done a lot worse. Trigger Kenai’s most unpleasant qualities, steal the amulet, make things horrible for Nita etc, but instead of pulling a Mushu and being the bad guy he gets upset runs off, because he’s a kid who’s afraid of losing his big brother.
I know he used to be a human but isnt it weird she's falling for ... welll A BEAR?! Kenai is a nice guy but this is not natural! at least she was turned into a bear or else this movie would be beyond creepy
At least in the Bee Movie it kind of felt like a joke. The movie wasn't actually taking itself seriously to begin with and is more angled to a comedy. This one is clearly going for a more romantic tone, so... It uh... It becomes a little more obvious... A bit more uncomfortable.
UnknownElephant ...Anime? I believe you mean movie. I'm aware anime can have movies but Disney does not make anime. However, I must agree with you that Brother Bear is really good even with a couple of misplaced songs.
How is there always a really brilliant shot for these movies that these videos always end on? I mean they're great shots but It's just strange that there's so many brilliant shots in such lacklustre straight to video movies.
Yeah, I remember when I first saw this movie, when I see a bad movie I tend to rewrite it in my head, and the first thing I thought I'd scrap would be the bickering between the girl and Kenai. I thought it would've been much more interesting to have them reconnect right away and instead maybe have the drama come from the idea that they can't be together, like have Kenai briefly considering finding a way to be human again but immediately ditching that idea because of his duty to, and bond with Koda. Maybe even have Koda like her a lot and even give him a little character growth in a talk with Kenai giving his blessing for him to try to be human again.The girl would be thinking about this other guy she's supposed to marry (if I remember right, wasn't it also a political marriage?) so her feelings of duty to her people could be a factor. Also would've totally gotten rid of the bear hunt.
I liked the first movie. Gosh I even cried when Kenai transformed into a bear. I liked mooses, too because in Finnish dub they have funny accent. :D I wached second movie and don't remember anything from it. so it was bad.
Well that’s great! I liked it a lot although the plot was a bit predictable and I felt like the end where the brother realizes the bear was his brother should have had a bit more of an emotional response from him but altogether the first movie was good
You know, when I saw this movie for the first time, I was actually pretty on board with the premise. I wasn't sure if it was going to be as cliched as I knew it would be at the back of my mind and I saw a lot of potential starting out, going through the film. I thought it could be an interesting chance for a Disney movie to show how love isn't something predestined by past experiences and that people change, quite literally in Kenai's case, so they don't always end up together for good reasons. Watching the film, I saw an opportunity to show how love can still exist between two people who don't necessarily belong together, but that's okay. But we didn't get that story. We got a cliche fest instead. I knew it was coming, but I held on to the shred of hope that the story wouldn't get wasted. It did. It sucks.
Hey, man. Doug doesnt like phil collins.... doesnt mean ANYTHING at all. If you like phil collins then thats fine, dont worry so much about peoples opinions. I hate Shrimp, imagine me cutting myself in anger because I see you enjoing a box of popcorn shrimp. Sounds stupid as fuck doesnt it? thats about as stupid as your comment sounded to me. No offense.
Note: The Fox & The Hound 2 was a joint work between Tommy Wideau, Uwe Boll and The Kazoo Kid. Remember that Dougy before you watch it. RIP Doug Walker, Plan his funeral now Channel Awesome. 😀
This movie is a disgrace, I'm a fan of the first Brother Bear movie and it's underrated, but this sequel has a horrible story, the love interest is a Pocahontas wannabe, even the animation style can't save it from being good.
when i was little brother bear was one of the few movies i owned, and i had the second too. for me i loved em like crazy, but havnt watched em maybe since like 2008? I think the second was my favourite of the two. But then again maybe i should rewatch and see how well they hold up and if nostalgia doesnt take over XD
Does anyone else notice the similarities between Mulan 2 and Brother Bear 2? Main couple fight, but really love each other. Comic relief side kick tries to break them up. Other comic relief characters get romantic love interests. Message against arranged marriage... It's not a lot, but some of the themes do feel a little too familiar.
There's a special place in my heart for this movie, but looking back and hearing you describe it, yeah... It's pretty stupid. Pretty forgettable too, all but the beginning and end have vanished from my mind.
The first Brother Bear is one of my favorites, and I thought this second one was pretty enjoyable too. They are most definitely cliche, but I always felt in a way that was done pretty well, or at least well enough to make them enjoyable. I think maybe the worse thing about Brother Bear 2 is that, once again, it really had no purpose being made. Even so, I think that fact also works in its favor. With so many sequel movies that have no reason to be made and their terribleness showing just why, I feel Brother Bear 2 shines well despite its unnecessary existence.
Cano Vea wrong. The plural word for moose is moose. The usual plural of moose is moose; compare the names of many animals, such as deer and fish, which are also invariant. Other plurals are rare and nonstandard: mooses (with the usual English plural-forming suffix -s), meese (jocularly formed by analogy to goose → geese).
I really liked the first Brother Bear, actually most of the Disney movies I really liked as a kid were some of the more unknown or under appreciated ones. The Rescuers Down Under, Brother Bear, 101 Dalmatians, and The Great Mouse Detective.
Brother Bear 1 wasn't a bomb, it was actually financially successful at the box office, but the critics just sorta thought it was meh.
Jacob Carpenter Probably why it was underrated from the start.
Gera WallStar There was also a Brother Bear
Gameboy Advance game.

Coolman Hahn Yes.
Nate Yeah. Critically it was average at best, but financially it was fine.

It's not bad
To me, it's very mediocre. I absolutely agree with the subplot with Rutt and Time being stupid.

Or maybe Nephew Narwhal.
Father Ferret, Mother Moose, Cousin Caterpillar, Grampa Goat, Aunt Antilope...
Auntie Shrew
Sister Seal exists. It's called Song of the Sea.
The first thing that Nostalgia Critic likes is no Phil Collins. Why did I see that coming?

Who else agrees the original Brother Bear is the most underrated Disney movie?
Harry Thomas Pictures Me, all the way!
ETgohome13 Thanks man, just because it didn't make much money doesn't mean it didn't deserve too.
Same! It was a good movie and so well done with the animation and especially the music.
Nah, Treasure Planet is the most underrated Disney movie for me, it was better than Brother Bear and got panned worse.
I do too. Brother Bear had such a good message for bears/animals too. Sure Bears are powerful, dangerous animals, but like all wild animals, they still have a society. Behavior that is accepted among the other Bears, and in a sense, do have families... like the Wolves and the Wolf Pack. (always holding the safety of the Pack to the most importance, even if it means leaving behind vulnerable members)
I feel like Doug has a burning hatred towards Phil Collins
No, really?
Doesn't matter if he does. It's his choice and you or me have no business with that.
I bet even Phil couldn't BEAR through this movie.. no wonder he didn't show up..
Memewalker03 That wasn't his choice.

Actually....they sorta did with Sleeping Beauty....and supposedly it was to be the first of many...see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Princess_Enchanted_Tales:_Follow_Your_Dreams
Thomas Vaccaro the live action movies are sequels to alice in Wonderland
Maybe they would've felt bad touching Snow White since it was the very first Disney movie.

Because they clearly should be turning them into kittens, I mean, look at Rockadoodle!
2003, 2006 (or 2005, I’m going off memory) and early 2010’s, yeah there’s a lot of movies where people turn into bears.*sarcasm sign*

Yes, let the sequels flow through you, Doug. Maybe next year, you will review the Disney Channel movies and you will hate everything.
Fuck that! He'd die of a stroke.

Man, I hope Doug gets to "Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin" soon. Or "The Tigger Movie"... Or "Piglet's Big Movie". For sequels, most of the Pooh movies are consistently good. And surprisingly emotional.
I loved the Tigger Movie so much when I was a kid. I seem to remember there was a book that came with the VHS. An audio book or something.
pooh's grand adventure has a subte theme of growing up and a obviously not subtle theme of discovering your true potential
wmwilson and also dull.
Pooh’s Grand Adventure is an emotional roller coaster.
It's still kind of hard to believe that Jeremy Suarez, the voice of Koda from both of these films, went on to co-star in the AVGN movie.
Wait really?
Yeah, he's cooper.
Well..I'll be damned.
He also voiced Russell in the Fat Albert movie,
Which character?
why does he hate Phil Collins??
I love the first Brother Bear. I thought it was one of, if not THE most under appreciated animated Disney feature. It certainly had the best visuals. The transformation scene was amazing.
the plural for moose is "moose". Like fish, or deer, it's both the singular and the plural.
So does fish. There are two plurals.
Brother Bear 2 was nice too. But I had a hard time getting into Kenai's voice even though I love Patrick Dempsey. It was a little too distractingly different from Jouquin Pheonix's.
I like to call this "Eight Crazy Nights" syndrome, where the animation and artwork is gorgeous but the written is incredibly dumb and offputting.
I watched all 56 disney classics
brother bear was my favourite

I actually got upset when some reviews said that it is a rip-off of Lion King. Why? Because a father-figure died? The story and the message are nothing alike!

Yeah I liked the first watched the second years ago. Didn’t like it. Watched it again last year, it’s even worse then I remember.
Road trip movie- bear style!
D: noooooo.
Funny, seeing as that was the first movie as well.
This movie seems like they took the Mulan 2 plot, and slapped a bear on it.
Koda is nowhere nowhere near as bad as Mushu was in Mulan 2. Yes, he gets upset but he doesn’t actively sabotage the rekindling relationship and the ticking clock element of the Equinox never comes into harsh focus like a race against time, so his behaviour doesn’t impact the journey in a negative way. He hears a conversation out of context and like the kid he is, runs away because he can’t process what it means for him and his relationship with Kenai. He even has an independent face heel turn and tries to make Kenai happy even if it means he has to be alone again.
"Brother Bear 2 which didn't do so well…" Well it's a DTV sequel
I think he meant that it didn't do so well even by DTV sequels standards.
So this movie is basically Shrek, except hard to bear.
☆KindredSpirit☆ Or a less creepy version of Bee Movie.

I know he's a man turnt into a bear but it's a bit stranger that she's falling in love with him in bear form
Well she does turn into a bear in the end
The plural for moose is moosen
"Many much moosen, frolicking on the greese"
Out in the woods! In the woodsen! The meese want the food in the woodenisnisn!

I know he used to be a human but isnt it weird she's falling for ... welll A BEAR?!
Kenai is a nice guy but this is not natural!
at least she was turned into a bear or else this movie would be beyond creepy
Veemon Link64 *Cough* Bee Movie *Cough*
At least in the Bee Movie it kind of felt like a joke. The movie wasn't actually taking itself seriously to begin with and is more angled to a comedy. This one is clearly going for a more romantic tone, so... It uh... It becomes a little more obvious... A bit more uncomfortable.

2:11 OMG seeing this scene of the woman riding the bear made me actually lol
Brother Bear is my favorite Disney animated movie of all time
Well that’s great! I liked it a lot although the plot was a bit predictable and I felt like the end where the brother realizes the bear was his brother should have had a bit more of an emotional response from him but altogether the first movie was good
You know, when I saw this movie for the first time, I was actually pretty on board with the premise. I wasn't sure if it was going to be as cliched as I knew it would be at the back of my mind and I saw a lot of potential starting out, going through the film. I thought it could be an interesting chance for a Disney movie to show how love isn't something predestined by past experiences and that people change, quite literally in Kenai's case, so they don't always end up together for good reasons. Watching the film, I saw an opportunity to show how love can still exist between two people who don't necessarily belong together, but that's okay.
But we didn't get that story. We got a cliche fest instead. I knew it was coming, but I held on to the shred of hope that the story wouldn't get wasted. It did. It sucks.
Cinderella 3 and The Fox and the Hound 2 should totally happen by the end of the month. :D
I named my dog after Koda from Brother Bear. Shows how much I LOVED these movies to bits.
1:47 "MOOSEN, I SAW A FLOCK OF MOOSEN!"
THERE WERE MANY MUCH MOOSEN!
Mariokemon "THEY WERE IN WOODSEN IN THE WOODSESEN EATING GRASS NO GREASE IN THE WOODSEN!"
This brings back so many memories
Brother Bear and Brother Bear 2 are probably my biggest guilty pleasures... lol
i liked the first brother bear
me too
Me three
I loved this one and think it's awesome.
Who's with me?
I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS, CRITIC! honestly thank you for taking your time making them for us :3
Ice Age of the Animals.
I need to rewatch these because I remember I loved them on release
I'm still waiting for Aladdin 4: Jafar may need glasses
"I'm not going to your wedding! bunch of a-holes" 😂😂 this is why I always come back to this channel
"No Phil Collins. Good start." Twist the knife even harder Doug because that continues to hurt.
I just don't get why this is such a big deal. Is there some sort of cult out there that worships Phil Collins or something?!
Hey, man. Doug doesnt like phil collins.... doesnt mean ANYTHING at all. If you like phil collins then thats fine, dont worry so much about peoples opinions. I hate Shrimp, imagine me cutting myself in anger because I see you enjoing a box of popcorn shrimp. Sounds stupid as fuck doesnt it? thats about as stupid as your comment sounded to me. No offense.

Trust me when I say that there are people who want to kill themselves over stupid shit they don't like.
my dad and I are fans of the first. and we loved this one too. It just takes a special sense of appreciation to like these films.
Note: The Fox & The Hound 2 was a joint work between Tommy Wideau, Uwe Boll and The Kazoo Kid. Remember that Dougy before you watch it. RIP Doug Walker, Plan his funeral now Channel Awesome. 😀
I laughed so hard at “bear wedding” that I choked
Please tell me I'm not the only one who like these two movies?
You are the only one who likes these two movies.
You're not
These truly feel like a christmas gift every day.
This movie is a disgrace, I'm a fan of the first Brother Bear movie and it's underrated, but this sequel has a horrible story, the love interest is a Pocahontas wannabe, even the animation style can't save it from being good.
The plot does feel "out there" compared to the original's plot.
I remember the scene where Kenai helps Nita overcome her fear of water and cross the river being really powerful.
"No Phil Collins"
I'd call that a negative.
Maybe one of the Disney execs at the time all the bear movies was made was Timothy Treadwell.
Last year at my school my classmates seen the preview for this movie and they were making fun of it and also fall asleep and my teacher was mad.
when i was little brother bear was one of the few movies i owned, and i had the second too. for me i loved em like crazy, but havnt watched em maybe since like 2008? I think the second was my favourite of the two. But then again maybe i should rewatch and see how well they hold up and if nostalgia doesnt take over XD
I liked both of these movies. Especially the 1st one.
Does anyone else notice the similarities between Mulan 2 and Brother Bear 2?
Main couple fight, but really love each other. Comic relief side kick tries to break them up. Other comic relief characters get romantic love interests. Message against arranged marriage...
It's not a lot, but some of the themes do feel a little too familiar.
There's a special place in my heart for this movie, but looking back and hearing you describe it, yeah... It's pretty stupid. Pretty forgettable too, all but the beginning and end have vanished from my mind.
4:00 I was expecting a PSA to come up from Canada at this point. :P Oh no, Doug is afraid of Britain now, isn't he?
The first Brother Bear is one of my favorites, and I thought this second one was pretty enjoyable too. They are most definitely cliche, but I always felt in a way that was done pretty well, or at least well enough to make them enjoyable. I think maybe the worse thing about Brother Bear 2 is that, once again, it really had no purpose being made. Even so, I think that fact also works in its favor. With so many sequel movies that have no reason to be made and their terribleness showing just why, I feel Brother Bear 2 shines well despite its unnecessary existence.
Moose in plural is just... moose. It is entirely singular, no matter how many.
Ironically, I think they brought it up in the original film.
I didn't realize how similar this was to Mulan 2.
"did one of the disney executives want to be a bar?" i thought everyone wants to be a cat? lol.
So would Brother Bear 3 have their cub wanting to be human, like Little Mermaid?
0:24 They also did it in Wicker Man which didn't do so well. And, that wasn't even a Disney movie.
Moose. Meese. Mooses.
Those are the actual plural forms of moose. Seriously.
Cano Vea What about moosen?
I've not heard of that one, but it isn't like I'm the authority.
@Marco Hidalgo
"Alright Bryan, what is the plural for Moose?"
"MOOSEN!"
Can we can the semantics?
Cano Vea wrong. The plural word for moose is moose.
The usual plural of moose is moose; compare the names of many animals, such as deer and fish, which are also invariant. Other plurals are rare and nonstandard: mooses (with the usual English plural-forming suffix -s), meese (jocularly formed by analogy to goose → geese).
I really liked the first Brother Bear, actually most of the Disney movies I really liked as a kid were some of the more unknown or under appreciated ones. The Rescuers Down Under, Brother Bear, 101 Dalmatians, and The Great Mouse Detective.
Ok Disney, what is Pocahontas doing in Canada? Fucking bubbles?
FUCKING BUBBLES!!!
"One: there's no Phil Collins. Good start!" lol that made my day Doug
1:45 The plural for moose is meese.
Example: "Look at all those fucking meese!"
