Disneynature’s Bears Film Review

It’s been a little bit since my first Disneynature post of Chimpanzee.  Amazing how far my blog has come, since that was one of my very first posts.  I remember even then being mesmerized by the beauty of the film, from the story to just the cinematography of the rain forest where it took place.  Bears is just as good!

In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure “Bears” showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons.  Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold.  The world outside is exciting—but risky—as the cubs’ playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches.  As the season changes from spring to summer, the brown bears must work hard to find food—ultimately feasting at a plentiful salmon run—while staying safe from rival male bears and predators, including an ever-present wolf.  “Bears” captures the fast-moving action and suspense of life in one of the planet’s last great wildernesses—Alaska!

The movie begins with amazing footage from INSIDE the mother’s den.  Shots of the little cubs shortly after being born all snuggled up with their mom, Sky.  She’s a first time mom, and we learn quickly that raising two tiny cubs on her own can be pretty overwhelming as she sets out on her journey with her cubs, Scout and Amber, to put back on the weight that was lost to sustain another long Alaskan winter.

Meet the cubs.

AMBER is a mama’s girl.  This young cub likes to catch a ride on Sky’s broad back or curl up next to her for a cozy nap.  Amber’s habit of hanging close to mom might make her look timid, but make no mistake: Amber is watching mom’s every move and learning the tricks to surviving in Alaska.  Smart bear.

SCOUT is all about adventure.  He’s a curious cub who relishes the new sights, sounds and smells his family’s journey reveals each day.  But Scout’s penchant for exploration gets him into some trouble.  Bold is good if you’re a big bear, but little Scout best keep one eye on mom at all times.

Two very different personalities, yet I fell in love with both of them the same.  They are so cute and really make the story fun to watch.

Narrated by John C. Riley, he adds the perfect voice to tell the story of Sky and her cubs as they endure the real life dangers of the trek of the Alaskan terrain.

    • As usual, I feel better after having read one of your posts. I am still having a hard time with my mo7#tr&h821e;s death, but this helps. Besides that, death is one of those mysterious, complex things. It’s not a shared experience that we get to have while alive, and then talk about. (Although of course, some people supposedly die and come back.) So I appreciate your thoughtful musings on the subject.

    • Hi Jaime … To answer your qu8#eions&st230;I don’t use pencils at all and colors reproduce equally well as far as I can tell. You can have fun using any you like and even make up your own! Usually when you see my art, especially in all of my books, it was painted to that exact size. I can enlarge it later, or reduce it for other uses, such as calendars, fabric or cards, but the books are printed with the art just as it was painted. I was 39 when my first book came out . . . you have plenty of time! Good luck!
