About
You can stream Brother Bear (2003) on Disney+ with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
When an impulsive boy named Kenai is magically transformed into a bear, he must literally walk in another's footsteps until he learns some valuable life lessons. His courageous and often zany journey introduces him to a forest full of wildlife, including the lovable bear cub Koda, hilarious moose Rutt and Tuke, woolly mammoths and rambunctious rams.
Forget the standard talking-animal tropes for a visual journey defined by breathtaking, hand-drawn landscapes and a soaring, percussion-heavy soundtrack. This transformative odyssey trades typical slapstick for a profound look at empathy through the eyes of a predator.
