I knew right off the back that I wasn't about to watch a masterpiece; as of late, Disney has failed to pull in quality work, and beneath the acting and cheesy creature effects, this is simply an hour and a half commercial for their ride at the park. The creature effects for this is probably the worst the I've ever seen as the actors in the bear costumes literally seem to fumble around desperately and it all looks so sloppy. People walk around them and interact with them like normal never worrying they might maul somebody to death. The character Beary is annoying and often times the situation with he and his family is irritating. How did he never notice he was different from humans? Didn't he notice his large body fur and snout?

How is it no one ever brought it to his attention except for his brother? Is it really possible to take a baby cub from the wild and train it to walk and talk and sing and dress like humans? If so, I better go hunting! Who knew bears had such good word pronunciation? The filmmakers seem to insult the audiences intelligence by creating these improbable and completely ridiculous plotlines that are even too dumb for five year olds to believe. Many of the child audience will cringe at the annoying musical numbers that attempts to bring life to this dead in the water children's movie and tries to reach the older audience by having cameo after cameo of musical stars. Often times I found myself now understanding why this attraction was so unpopular with many Disney visitors nowadays but could never understand why anyone would make this into a live action movie.

An obvious ploy to increase popularity from Disney's lagging attraction's this is a sub-par movie that talks down to kids rather than involving them in the story. It has a lot of potential but fails big time.
