Rated G
Narrated by John C. Reilly
Directed by Alastaire Fothergill and Keith Scholey
The Story:
In the latest DisneyNature documentary, John C. Reilly narrates the adventures of an Alaskan brown bear over the course of a year as she protects and raises her two newborn cubs.
If you've seen any of the other DisneyNature documentaries, you know what to expect.
Reilly does his best narrating a story with gorgeous scenery, but many of the lines fall flat, or deliver eye-rolling groans of "who writes this stuff?"
However, they're making these for the kids, so I guess you have to take what you're given.
The film chronicles the life of Skye, the mother bear as she raises her two cubs Scout and Amber. She must work hard to keep the cubs alive and safe from other bears who would like nothing better than eating her babies for a snack while they wait for the salmon to arrive.
The scenery is nothing short of amazing.
At a little over an hour, it's not too taxing on you either.
Final Grade: C, maybe a C+ on a good day.
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I'd have to pass on watching this one again. Cute once, but that was plenty.
