Episode 68: Brother Bear (2003)

Happy New Year! To kick of 2024 we’re reviewing Disney’s Brother Bear (2003), the story of a human learning to be nice to animals by being forced to live as one. This is low-key a stone age movie – it’s set in Beringia during the Pleistocene, but other than some mammoths and glaciers, it doesn’t shove its stone-age-ness in your face. In this episode we talk cave art, megafauna, and, as always, Canadiana.
