An old friendship is renewed and new bonds are forged as Kenai and Nita set out on the adventure of a lifetime in this animated, direct-to-video sequel to the 2003 Disney hit Brother Bear. When Kenai ... read more read more...emerges from his first hibernation with a hearty appetite and a craving for the best spring berries around, he takes his younger brother Koda to Crowberry Ridge for a delicious feast. As Rutt and Tuke scour the landside looking for some female companionship, Kenai is surprised to find his childhood friend Nita venturing into the wilderness with a pressing problem that only Kenai can solve. It appears as if the amulet given to Nita by Kenai has much greater power than either of them had previously thought, and in order to marry, the old friends must travel back to Hokani Falls to burn the amulet together. Now, as the pair travel over icy mountain ranges and down raging rivers, the plan set into motion by the Great Spirits for Nita and Kenai slowly begins to come into focus. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Even though the movie lacks a good story, it redeems itself with lovable characters, a short running time so it doesn't take up alot of your time, and alot of fun action scenes. A great family film. Overall Rating:68

    It was a great Disney sequel. It had great animation, music, voice cast, backgrounds, characters, adventure and a good storyline. I like this one better than the first one. I'd recommend this movie for all ages.

    I wasn't too crazy about this one, but it was still pretty cute. I wouldn't watch it again. The first one is much better.

    Not as good as the first part but still funny and sweet.
    It's great how a movie can teach us how important it is to love your family, how important bond is and how much you can mean to one person.

    The sequel actually turned out to be pretty good although the whole child storyline was kind of taken from the Ice Age film.

    I liked this one a lot better than the first for some reason. Maybe it was Patrick Dempsey? Or maybe because it wasn't as sad....

the return of Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis as the idiot moose is nice, if not a little forced Full Review

... triste constatar que a magia e a sensibilidade do primeiro filme foram substituídas por clichês, uma história ridícula e sentimentalismo barato.

Sequels are often disappointing, but 'Brother Bear 2' is a keeper, mostly because of its charming story and extraordinary background music. Full Review

While not nearly as memorable as its predecessor, Brother Bear 2 has plenty going for it. Full Review

...does not quite compare to some of Disney's finest animated work in terms of story or character, but it surely holds its own in terms of artwork and sound design. Full Review

The texture and polish is deeply missed, but the characters are so strong and engaging, it still entertains. Full Review
