Disney doesn’t make them like they used to. Its a good nostalgic movie with impactful messages hidden throughout it. Brother bear makes me cry and stare out my window pondering life.
I mean who can really hate this show? You got three lovable bears who were adopted together and the chemistry is *perfect*. Outside of the problems that they have to endure, I just love the welcoming atmosphere that the world has. The non-essential characters and citizens in the “in world” are incredibly friendly to each other and it just feels like a world that we /could/ have in the present, like it’s in arm reach but we aren’t there yet. There is such a blanket of trust that envelops this whole show that occasionally challenges us that there are real and present dangers in the show’s reality but never punishes the viewer too harshly because we know that these three bears got each other’s back no matter what. As much of the episodes happen during the day, this is what I would consider a perfect night time show. It’s the last cartoon that I watched from top to bottom in the past five years.
You will be surprised at how many of them are edible. Kahikatea trees (one of my fav trees) produce edible berries. They are some of the tallest trees in the forest, and yet maōri would climb them to hights over 200 ft were they battled with birds to collect these berries!!! It’s also good to learn invasive plants, but this can be a deep rabbit hole that depresses you - my friend is currently battling with an invasive plant known as moth weed and it haunts her every waking minute
