Bären (2014)

Bären: Directed by Alastair Fothergill, Keith Scholey, Adam Chapman. With John C. Reilly. A documentary that follows an Alaskan bear family as its young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons.

“The photography deserves superlatives that havenu0026#39;t been bastardized, cheapened and ground down into nothing, but I donu0026#39;t know any.nSo, simply, the imagery is just stunning.nJohn C. Reilly as narrator was a weak choice and his narration is definitely geared to entertain young folk, but it is good-natured enough to be excused, although the movie would have worked just fine without any narration at all. As it is, he provides all of the anthropomorphic fantasy you expect in a Disney flick.nu0026quot;Chimpanzeeu0026quot; still stands out for me as the pinnacle of Disney Nature (anthropomorphic fantasy) films.”
