Who bought Brother Bear blind because of Bob & Doug McKenzie?
 

I can't be the only one who did this. Let's hear it....

(sub question): Who still actually owns the Bob & Doug McKenzie album, Great white North?

...feeling lonely yet? -wink-

I didn't buy Brother Bear, but I do still own the Bob and Doug LP! And the '45: Take Off!

I'm with Exister . . . I don't own Brother Bear, but I do have the Great White North album on LP and CD. :up:

I bought Brother bear for my kids and was pleasantly surprised when I recognized the voices. I started laughing my head off and my kids could not figure out what was so funny.

Bought it for my sons...will watch it (with ocmmentary) because of Bob & Doug.

And yes, I've got GWN on CD & vinyl, and the Strange Brew soundtrack on vonyl.

I've got GWN on CD and Strange Brew on DVD, of course. Would love to see them in Brother Bear, but not willing to do a blind buy for it. Maybe a rental.

What's a CD? :hscratch:

I didn't buy it for that reason only, but Strange brew is one of my favorite comedies. The commentary on brother bear is hilarious, I fell of my couch at one point.

So what would be the verdict for someone who:

- Didn't think much of the trailers
- Has no children
- Is only a passive Bob & Doug fan
- Is looking for some nice eye candy with a decent story and kind of likes the idea of the aspect ratio switch?

Josh, pick it up as a rental then. It's a cute flick, but formulated, with some good Phil Collins music, but the Bob & Doug stuff isn't enough. 9.99 or less, grab it.

I would expect that you will enjoy it very much. I thought the commentary was one of the best I have ever heard. For me that was worth the price of owning it. If you are a fan of them at all, there is a lot to enjoy. IMHO of course...

But I will add that I do have children and took them to it, and would have purchased it either way with or without commentary.

I would think that it would make a very good rental for you. The picture and sound are fantastic.

"Hey Bob, you know what?"
"Hey Bob, you know what?"
"Hey Bob, you know what?"

"What, Doug?"
"What, Doug?"
"What, Doug?"

Being a big Bob & Doug fan, I'll eventually pick this up... used!

I took my daughter to see this in the theater, not because she really wanted to, but because I heard Bob and Doug did the voices - Does that count ?

When I mention the movie, the first thing my daughter my daughter remembers about it isn't Koda, or Kenai but
"Tree"

TBFL

missed the sub question....
 

I own GWN and the Strange Brew soundtrack on original vinyl.

If they made a SCTV compilation DVD of nothing but Bob and Doug sketches, I'd probably buy that too...

Out of curiosity, does anyone else own the Bob & Doug action figures that were released by MacFarlane a few years ago?

They are the only reason that I will watch that movie someday... I had no interest in Brother Bear until I saw them in the commercial. And yes, I have the figures... I love how it had voice chips in it. "Its a jelly!"

Don't even know who they are.

I bought Brother Bear almost entirely because of Bob & Doug. I never caught it in the theater and while I do like to collect Disney DVDs, if it wasn't for Bob and Doug, this one looked a even little corny for my tastes. Still haven't watched it but I can't wait to check it out and the special audio commentary they do.

koo loo koo koo koo koo koo koo

Beauty.

Gotta go have some back bacon, eh?

Then why waste your time posting?

I just ordered Brother Bear for that very reason. I wish they would hurry up with their proposed animated series!!

Because the topic asked. Duh.

From SCTV and Strange Brew, eh.
