It is encouraging to find DTS reappearing on R1 US discs after a long absence, it appears Benny Vista is now taking into account the success their R2 counterparts have had in the UK. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved.

This transformation tale of viewing events and conditions through different perspectives is an entertaining film experience. However vile and mundane Brother Bear may be, it actually demands to be seen in its original widescreen: after 20-odd minutes (precisely when Kenai turns into a bear), the film’s aspect ratio expands. Though Kenai insists that Koda "keep all the cuddly bear stuff to a minimum," it is not long before the feisty and adorable cub inspires a change of heart in Kenai.

Surprisingly, Brother Bear's DVD is not housed by a cardboard slipcover the way other recent 2-disc Disney releases have been. LFE effect are strong and deep helping to set the tone and pull you into the movie with thunder storms and the heavy feet of woolly mammoths.This perpetuates a series of whoopsy-daisy misunderstandings that only serve to reinforce the notion that the earth gods are vengeful.

This, nonetheless, allows a submenu to give the option to watch any portion of the documentary by itself, breaking it up into 12 short segments which each run a few minutes long (like last fall's disappointing bonus disc of The Lion King). This outtakes reel, hosted by Koda, does feature the obligatory bodily humor, but also a cool Stitch cameo.

In "Bone Puzzle", you select from a pallette of uniquely-shaped bones to fill in the prints of various animals. Unable to communicate with his human brother, Kenai teams up with Koda, an irrepressible bear cub, and sets out on a courageous journey of self-discovery. If that doesn’t interest older kidlets, there’s always the “On My Way” sing-a-long and the creepy “Bear Legends: Native American Tales” (so that’s where bears came from!

Why I hear you scream, well it has to do with the story of the film and the main character, when he is transformed into a bear his vision changes, hence the wider ratio and more colourful image, it symbolises the characters change and that he is looking at the world and his life differently. Koda's Outtakes (2:45) present Disney Feature Animation's attempt to create a series of bloopers which treat the film's characters as actors.
