I'd Like to be a Brown Bear

Today I watched "Bears" the Disney movie, which is one of the best choices I've made in a while. This movie is so damn cute I could barely contain myself. Big mama Sky is hibernating while she gives birth to two baby cubs that are tinier than human babies (which I don't see how that's fair). One little lady named Amber and a little dude named Scout, of course I fall in love immediately because they're tiny little semi-bald, semi-fuzzy baby bears. The story chronicles the first year together as it's the most dangerous- we're wrapped up in a tale of mother's milk, predators, rising and waning water, travel, and the salmon… GOOD GOD THE SALMON! We see baby bears awkwardly prance along the coast, get clams caught on their paws in the most charming way you can imagine, and evade this super dick bear: Magnus.

The movie is narrated by the always funny John C. Reilly and gave a very entertaining play-by-play of the on-screen happenings, however, as someone who asks 3,000 questions, I would have liked more information. I spent two hours after the movie Googling things like, 'Why do mother bears force their cubs to leave?' You can see below where that got me. Overall, it's lovely and sweet and makes you wonder why you don't have a pet bear or why you don't live with bears.




Brown bears are religious zealots, known specifically
for their proclivity to force their views upon others.
