Kenai! I'm sorry but I just love his original form too much... also it was made in medibang

Joaquin Phoenix went from playing a main character who learns a lesson about maturity and then years later plays a bleak, edgy clown character that only manchildren would like

Now that is irony

Brother bear, Kenai and Koda

The 90s/early 2000s was the best Disney era for male protagonists

This isn't all of them, but these were the best of them, imo. And this is just the characters; how I felt about their movies varies. I hope more Disney films in the future feature male leads--especially musicals! Aladdin, Hercules, and Quasimodo are the only human male protagonists in a musical where they sang substantively (thus eliminating Tarzan, Mowgli, Simba, and Arthur).

If anybody was wondering like I did, the transformation song in "Brother Bear" had deep meaning.

Thinking about Brother Bear and how much I love the complexity of love in that movie.

How love is both the main character and the antagonist, and how it drives the plot from the beginning. Sitka wouldn't have died if he hadn't loved Kenai because he wouldn't have gone to save him. Koda's mother wouldn't have died if she hadn't loved Koda and wanted to protect him at any cost or if Kenai hadn't loved his oldest brother. Kenai and Koda wouldn't have had to worry about a hunter pursuing them if Denahi didn't love his little brother.

Love is the antagonist since it's Kenai and Denahi's love for their brothers who make them want revenge and it's what at the same time drives them away from their loved ones (Kenai in Denahi's case and Koda in Kenai's one).

But at the same time, love is the main character since it develops and changes from the beginning to the end along with the characters. You see how it's love what helps them grow, mostly on Kenai's case.

The movie doesn't work if the characters didn't care deeply about each other since familial love is the core of the movie and I'm obsessed with that.

Quotable Disney Round 1 Group 1 Poll 7/8

***Please vote on the content of the quote not the format of the picture***

Kenai:

Severely underrated movie. I chose this quote because this is the scene where Kenai (who, after killing a bear, is turned into one to learn empathy and to treat all life like equals) tells Koda (the bear's cub), that he killed his mother. I think I've cried to it about a thousand times.

Ben Franklin Gates:

ok at first it looks like just a funny thing to toast to, but the guy literally is about to commit treason/steal the declaration of independence in order to avoid it being destroyed by Sean Bean's character, so he's going to do what is considered wrong in order to do what he knows is right. The foreshadowing doubles as something else since he uses the fingerprints left on the glass she toasted with by his love interest to access the restricted areas and steal the whole thing.

"Well, it's kind of about a man...and kind of about a bear. But mostly it's about a monster."

~Kenai, Brother Bear (2003)

"A toast, yeah? To high treason. That’s what these men were committing when they signed the Declaration. Had we lost the war, they would have been hanged, beheaded, drawn and quartered-Oh! oh, my personal favorite; had their entrails cut out and burned. So, here’s to the men who did what was considered wrong, in order to do what they knew was right."

~Benjamin Franklin Gates, National Treasure (2004)

Happy 21st Anniversary, Brother Bear

Today is the 21st anniversary of

Brother Bear!

It has been 21 years since we seen Kenai become the new brother of Koda after his accidental killing of his mother, trying to avenge his brother,

Sitka, who had become an eagle of guidance, according to his totem.

His brother, Denahi was going to avenge Kenai, but he realized that he was fighting Kenai, in bear form. After that, Kenai lived with Koda, to look after him, as the bear of love, just like his totem!
