Official Site


"Brother Bear"
In Theaters November 1

Driven by the emotional and joyous rhythms of five great new songs from Academy Award® winner Phil Collins, Brother Bear is Disney’s exciting new animated holiday adventure. Set against the majestic natural splendor of the Great American Northwest, the film tells the story of a boy named Kenai, whose life takes an unexpected turn when the Great Spirits transform him into a bear -- the creature he hates most. Befriended by a bear cub named Koda, Kenai sets out to regain his human form while his brother (who doesn’t realize Kenai is now a bear) pursues him on a mission of revenge and family honor. With breathtaking animation, powerful emotion, and humor, this film introduces a memorable cast of characters and paints an unforgettable tale of courage, honor, and self-discovery.
