Brother Bear 2 [HD]

Once you love someone...They stay in your heart forever!
I had the opportunity to go to an advance screening of this film and for those who may be skeptical about the quality of sequels to modern animated works, it is hoped that you will give this feature a try. Quality children's programming is rare and this effort tries to impart messages that focus upon the power of friendship and that real strength and beauty comes from within. If you enjoyed the first film, the returning characters of Kenai and Koda are still as engaging and the moose, Rutt and Tuke, effortlessly steal every scene they are in. The new character additions also add great levity to this unique family treat!

Excellent Direct-To-DVD Disney Fare
In the past, Disney has always seemed to have a considerable drop-off in story quality with their direct-to-dvd sequels. "Lion King 2" is a prime example of this. However, Disney's recent DVD sequels such as "Return To Neverland," "Tarzan 2," and "Lion King 1 1/2," have all been very good. Add "Brother Bear 2" to that group.

Love is in the air in this sequel to the underrated "Brother Bear." Joaquin Phoenix' role as Kenai has been gamely taken over by Patrick Dempsey. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas reprise their roles of Rutt and Tuke, the moose brothers. Jeremy Suarez also returns as Koda and Michael Clarke Duncan makes a brief appearance as his character, Tug, from the original film. Joining the cast in new roles are Mandy Moore as Nita, Wendie Malick as Aunt Siqiniq and the hilarious Wanda Sykes as wise-cracking and wisdom-filled, Innoko.

Kenai and Koda have been together for a long time, and their brotherly love is strong. However, when one of Kenai's...

A great sequel which follows up a nice movie
Most of the reviews have already gone thru the movie's story, so I won't go there again. Just wanted to say that this was a very nice movie, which continues the story of "Brother Bear" in a great way. Not only Melissa Etheridge's songs are nice, but the score for the whole movie is truly enjoyable. All the original characters are back to interact in this story so you won't miss any of them.

After watching this movie, my only question is: why did Disney decided to screen "The wild" in theatres, when they had an excellent movie here which they decided to release in a "straight to DVD" version?
