In the “Making Of” feature, he jokes that he was a bit nervous because he had to replicate the success of Tarzan while still keeping it fresh and new. Phil Collins also wrote the songs for Brother Bear, and he was excited to be a part of another Disney film. I realize that I’m talking about realism in a film where a boy is turned into a bear to learn about love, forgiveness, and the bonds of brotherhood, but tomayto tomahto. Most of the other songs are performed by Phil Collins, although Jeremy Suarez, who plays Koda, sings part of “On My Way.” In the same way that he performed the music in Tarzan, using Phil Collins as a singer over the film allows the story to maintain a feeling of realness. It was translated by a native speaker, and the song captures the haunting and magical quality that the moment calls for. The opening number, “Great Spirits,” is performed by Tina Turner, and it’s exactly the kind of song I expect from the woman who brought us “Proud Mary.” “Transformation” was performed by the Bulgarian Women’s Choir in Inuit. In Brother Bear, Disney continued the trend of not having the characters sing the majority of the songs. If you’re wondering why I haven’t included Home on the Range in this time frame, and instead ended my era in 2003, we’ll get to that film (and Chicken Little), next time. I would argue that there were some really creative things, artistically and technologically, coming out of the Studio during the early 2000’s, and people seemed to like the films, overall (and there was some critical appreciation too). The Disney Renaissance, you see, “officially” ends with Tarzan. I think of them as “The Experimental Early 2000’s,” and if Disney had asked my opinion, I probably would have stretched out the Renaissance to include them.
Personally, and I might have said this before, I think that the seven films made between 19, ( Fantasia 2000, Dinosaur, The Emperor’s New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Lilo & Stitch, Treasure Planet and Brother Bear), are really not given enough credit. The two are currently set to direct what is described on IMDB as Untitled Disney Animation Project, set for 2020 (Get excited!).
Walker had previously worked on The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Mulan, and Lilo & Stitch.
Blaise had previously worked as an animator on The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, and Mulan. The direction team was made up of Disney Veterans Aaron Blaise and Robert Walker. It wasn’t The Lion King, but it was nominated for the 2004 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. And, of course, if you have any thoughts, burning or otherwise, please share in the comments! BACKGROUND OF BROTHER BEARīrother Bear was released on October 24 th, 2003, and it didn’t do terribly at the box office.

NE = Not Evaluated - which has been categorized under the IUCN Red List of threatened species as not yet having been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.ĭM = Domesticated - a sustained multi-generational relationship in which one group of organisms assumes a significant degree of influence over the reproduction and care of another group to secure a more predictable supply of resources from that second group.Welcome to Revisiting Disney! This week, we’re looking at a Disney movie that makes me cry every darn time, Brother Bear! Like always, I have labeled each category so if you want to skip to the parts that interest you most, feel free. VU = Vulnerable - The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.ĮN = Endangered - The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.ĬR = Critically Endangered - The species is in imminent risk of extinction in the wild.ĮW = Extinct in the Wild - Known only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized populations well outside its previous range.ĮX = Extinct - No reasonable doubt that the last individual has died.ĭD = Data Deficient - There is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species. NT = Near Threatened - The species does not meet any of the criteria that would categorise it as risking extinction but it is likely to do so in the future.
LC = Least Concern - There are no current identifiable risks to the species. This is the species of Alaskan animals found or mentioned in Brother Bear (2003) & Brother Bear 2 (2006)
