Brother Bear : 5 of 5

I absolutely loved watching this movie again on DVD! I was especially excited that they preserved the effect of going to CinemaScope ratio when Kenai wakes up as a bear - even though the first 20-something minutes are boxed in on all sides. This is just a lovely film - I feel even more excited about it after reading the book that Ernesto gave me, and it really made the making-of documentary (a full 45 minutes) more interesting. The special features on this two DVD set are nice - in addition to the documentary, there are deleted scenes (including the "confession" scene that I really wanted to see without the music), an additional song, a great art overview (with excellent commentary), and some pretty good games (and now I know that my totem is the Brown Bear, too!). An ingenious addition is a full-blown commentary by Rutt & Tuke (Bob & Doug McKenzie, of course), who blab over the entire movie with some excellent improv comedy! I now have a wonderful appreciation of the fantastic backgrounds and beauty of the landscape (plus, thanks to Rutt & Tuke, I know that Denahi is the name of a primitive SUV!).
