Super RTL dared to bring this shame of a sequel again. Brother Bear is my fav Disney right after Mulan. And it has like... only 9 fanfics.
I need to change that :<
However... Gosh I hate Nita. She is the perfect definition on a Sue and the ending of the movie was SO obvious.
And yet... I gotta admit that I think... in comparison to SEQUELS, BB2 is one of the better. I didn't want to see this movie when I saw the trailer.
But my Mom wanted and she BOUGHT it, I had no other choice than to see it and back then already I was... positively surprised.
I didn't like it, but it didn't turn out as bad as I had expected.
The animation is for a sequel actually reall neat and could still fit with that of the main movie.
Kenai looks a bit irritating a few times. I guess it's because of those lines below his eyes that make him look old and less chubby, but other than that it looks fine to me.
Kenai basically remains the only character they raped imho. I don't really give much for Rutt and Tuke either way. And all the other loveable characters from the first movie were just LEFT OUT.
Looking back on other sequels I don't think there are a lot more that leave out characters so much because new ones have to be added. Even Mulan 2 only removed... Chi-Fu? Yes I think he's the only one (aside from the villain of course).
Pocahontas 2 might be the next up in the line with Smight being gone for most of the movie and the only other familiar characters beeing Ratclife and the sidekicks. Yes, maybe Pocahontas 2 is even worse.
Now for the songs. I still prefer Phil Collins and generally all songs of the first movie, but the second movie has songs to just... feel good. I like to listen to them without regards of the movie =)
I even made a Mulan/Mushu video once for "It will be me" because it's beautiful and it kept coming straight back to my head ;D
I think what bothers me most (besides Nita) is that this movie seems like a retelling of other Disney movies. Not just slight little cameos or references, no whole sections that basically make the whole film.
Today the finale reminded me all about Lion King with Koda up on that tree surrounded by humans and Atka throwing that fire at Kenai to pounce him off the cliff (YES?)

There's not much to say about the plot. It's basically Mary Sue tries to smash all the things they had to teach in the first movie.
What I do like in the movie though because of that are... most of the Koda scenes. And the sequel reusing stuff from his own MAIN movie there, actually gave me a little sting in my heart, even though it's a sequel.
"Hide, Koda" would be the magic words there - Déjà Vu?
I am motivated to write a Koda fanfic now... and Nita will not exist >
I just dunno about what %D
