Disneynature: Bears (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Let me start by stating what this is not: It is not David Attenborough and although made by the BBC nature team it is not at all like a BBC nature documentary. It is a fun film aimed squarely at the 3 - 13 age bracket with a good overlap into mums and dads. No animal gets hurt apart from some salmon who are eaten and there is lots of light dialogue that manages to avoid the cheesy levels many previous Disney films descended to. It is a delightful film about a mother bear and her two cubs during their first year and it is most beautifully filmed. The extras are good two. My only active dislike was the ghastly song used in the film but then I am almost certainly the wrong generation for that! This is a perfect film to use to introduce young children to the great outdoors. My copy heads for my grandchildren and I know they will love it.

awesome movie. I want to see it in the theater with my 4 year old and he loved it and then I bought it online here on Amazon and my 4 year old has watched it 5 times and loved it even better every time he sees it and I have had guests come over and watch it and they thought that Disney did a great job with making the film. I highly recommend it and the violence and it is not a big deal there are a couple scenes where a beer goes at it with another beer but they quickly do a change over so there is really no bloodshed of violence for your child to worry about. I highly recommend you buy it from Amazon for a 4 year old and up even adults love it I have seen it a few times and it is a great movie

Growing up in the 60's on the Navy base at China Lake,Ca. My family and I would go camping and fishing a lot in the Eastern Sierras.. Sometimes we would see a bear or two.. I was always intrigued by all wildlife.. This movie brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. Parents, if you have the money and time PLEASE take your kids to Kernville, Lake Isabella, Lone Pine, Bishop and other nearby areas. Show them that we need to protect the areas that man has not destroyed. Then these wonderful animals will not disappear and our kids can pass on the type of thinking that will allow some parts of our planet not to become another " Cement Jungle "...

A delightful film by Disney. Filmed in Katmai National Park, Alaska, it follows a mother bear and her two cubs who emerge from their den in the spring and then proceed to make their way to eventually partake in the annual salmon run which in a few short weeks time, feeds the bears and provides sustenance for them to make it through another winter. The cubs are given personalities, in true Disney fashion, and given kid's voices with which they communicate throughout their travels and troubles. They are never in extreme danger and.....SPOILER ALERT......everything is ok in the end. Enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the bears. Children will love this. Many adults will too. I know I did.

This is the first wildlife documentary I've watched that focused on bears. I mostly watch big cat documentaries, so I thought it would make for an interesting change to watch this one. I'm very glad that I decided to give it a shot and I truly did enjoy learning more about bears and how they raise their cubs. For me the only downside was their choice of narrator. John C Riley has a distinctive voice, which is great for a documentary. The downside is that he's a comedian, his tone conveys humor frequently and I had a hard time taking the film seriously.I've come to love the presentation of Big Cat Diary that mixes a small amount of humor with a more serious and educational approach. There are certainly times where he would talk about bear's habits and behavior, but I would have preferred an expert on the subject narrate instead. Perhaps they only needed to tweak the script a bit, but it just wasn't nearly as good as African Cats for me.

I can't say enough good things about this movie. My 4 year old daughter is not interested in TV much but she loves shows about real animals (not cartoons). She and I both love this movie! It is the story of a bear family in Alaska and what they do every day to find food and stay safe. It is absolutely appropriate for preschool aged kids, with just a few parts with loud bear roaring. The narration by John C. Reilly is excellent - easy to hear and funny at times. The scenery in BluRay is stunning, right up there with the Planet Earth series. Get this and watch it with your family!

I was really excited about puchasing this video for the family. We all enjoyed the trailers very much and were looking forward to seeing the whole movie. The cinematography is beautiful but I found the narration ridiculous and it detracted from the entire experience. Other people have reviewed how funny and enjoyable it was but, for me, it bordered on silly at parts and the way in which they manage to depict the mother bear, it's a wonder that she and her cubs could survive. I mean for the better part of the movie she couldn't catch a fish if they were jumping into her mouth and supposedly her poor cubs were in danger of starving and thank goodness they finally found their way to the 'Golden Pond' in time. I had wanted to love it and enjoy watching it more than once but unless my 5 year old asks, and she hasn't, I'm not rushing to put it back on.

Love this movie. I am a senior and I have always been fascinated by bears. This was such a sweet movie. My granddaughter loves it as well. One of Disney's best and none of the animals get killed or die. It's a happy movie with a beautiful ending of the bears going back to their den together for the winter. I highly, highly recommend this movie for children or any age, and the adults will also enjoy it, if only for the beautiful scenery.

My wife insisted on buying this movie. She watched it with the kids when it was free on demand and she says it's great for helping the kids fall asleep. I guess our 5 year old and 2 year olds boys are interested in the Bears, however the nature scenes and noises are calming to them.

N'ayant pas vu ce superbe film au cinema, je l'ai cherché et ne l'ai trouvé que sur DVD en Allemagne. Par contre, sur Amazon.fr, le film sur Blu-ray est encore en vente et contrairement aux informations données: Région A/1, j'ai pu regarder le film en Europe (Allemagne). Il y a donc une erreur que je tiens à signaler puisque la version française se trouve sur ce Blu-ray. Par contre, il m'est impossible de dire s'il en est ainsi pour tous les disques et recommande de contacter le vendeur avant l'achat du film afin de s'en assurer!

La película es buenísima... pero el disco no es compatible con los aparatos reproductores españoles, al final la tuvimos que ver en el ordenador cambiando la configuración del país!!

wow, les images sont à couper le souffle.... aux amoureux de documentaire sur la nature, n'hésitez pas....Bravo à Disneynature pour ce (encore merveilleux documentaire)

This is unique in that it had a story told from the bears' point of view instead of the usual narrated nature DVD's. Great photography. Some parts were quite comical and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
