Dinsey's next animated feature film is "Brother Bear" (Nov '03)

Official Brother Bear teaser site...

Saw this on the Jungle Book 2 DVD and looked on Disney's site.

According to the trailer, it contains 5 new songs by Phil Collins (Tarzan).

The two moose that you see in the site and in the trailer are voiced by Rick Moranis (Tuke) and Dave Thomas (Rutt); just imagine the McKensie Brothers with antlers!

The principle voice actors are Joaquin Phoenix (Kenai), a 'Native American' who is magically transformed into a bear, and Jeremy Suarez (Koda) - the little kid Jordan on Bernie Mac - as the little bear cub who befriends him.

Michael Clark Duncan also voices the leader of the bears.

Since I'm a Disney fan-boy, I'll be there to see this over Thanksgiving Holiday.

More anthropomorphized animals from Disney, wow how daring.

This looks like an animated remake of Annaud's The Bear

The movie looks good. I went on a behind-the-scenes tour 3 weeks ago at Disney-MGM Studios where they were working on this film. It looks phenomenal.

No interest in this from me at all, although i've been pleasently surprised with Treasure Planet, Lilo and Stitch, Emperor's New Groove, and Atlantis... seeing all of those outside of the theater and coincidently owning them all on DVD

Rick Moranis? Wow. He's been out of the picture for several years. Good to see him acting again.

The trailer I saw of this this past weekend looked pretty interesting to me.

It looked decent. I thought the "If you only see one movie this year" part was pretty funny.

Very much looking like The Lion King. Nevertheless, I'll be there. I don't know where Disney gets a March 2004 dvd release date though.

The McKensie Brothers gimmick seem to be the only good thing in this film and I'm guessing you won't see to much of them.

I think I'll pass on this one

I read that this has a Saturday release date, which is kind of cool. Have any other films ever done that?

I'm not interested in this at all. When I first saw the display at the theater, I thought it was for Ice Age 2. The characters look identical at first glance.

Saw it on the Treasure Planet DVD, saw it in the theaters with Nemo. It just didn't do anything for me. Right now I'm passing.

I'm actually very excited to see this movie. I knew I had seen the trailer somewhere before. When I went to see Finding Nemo--the funny moose told everyone to leave the theatre to come see Brother Bear-I thought that was very clever. It was very funny and me being my old age I still laughed! I will definitely go see this movie.

When I saw the trailer I thought it looked like they were trying to draw oil from a previous success of thiers.

Which success? Lion King? I see some similarities here, but overall the story will be much different, as will the animation. REALLY glad they tapped the McKenzie Brothers for this.

Why a Saturday release? Why?

This looks like it will stink on ice. Disney will blame CGI animation for killing 2-D, but the truth is their awful stories and cliche plots killed 2-D animation.

"Why a Saturday release? Why?"

They realized they were releasing a children's movie on Halloween and wondered what they were doing. Moving it back a week would put it into Matrix territory, so that scared them a bit, so they just moved it back a day.

I think that's what happened.

Interesting about a friday release. sure you might get crap for returns but something is better then nothing. I would have just let it fly on that friday.

But I bet they get more press coverage with it being released on a Saturday since that's unique. I think they chose the Nov 1 date because of Halloween, recognizing that so few families would be in theaters that night.

they have this up at Animated Bliss, which is pretty interesting:

One of the most innovative aspects of “Brother Bear” is the aspect ratio itself. The film starts off in the standard 1.85:1 format commonly used for most of today’s releases. One third of the way into the film, when Kenai discovers that he has been transformed into a bear, the screen opens up to a widescreen Cinemascope or 2.35:1 format.
