#235 - Brother Bear

Over two decades later, we recruited a special guest to revisit Disney Animation's Brother Bear, a deeply nostalgic childhood favourite that most of us haven’t seen in many years. The film follows Kenai (voiced by Joaquin "Wacky" Phoenix), a young man transformed into a bear as punishment for his ignorant actions, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and brotherhood alongside the adorable/semi-annoying little bear Koda. While the moose duo, Rutt and Tuke (voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas), deliver some quality laughs, we must admit Wacky Phoenix’s performance feels oddly out of place at times. But as one of the last traditionally hand-drawn animated films from Disney, Brother Bear certainly stands as a relic of a bygone era.
