Bears
In this documentary, filmmakers Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey follow an Alaskan brown bear named Sky and her cubs, Scout and Amber, through a full year. Their journey begins as the bears emerge from hibernation at winter's end. As the seasons unfold, the bear family must cooperate to forage for food and defend themselves against predators, notably other bears. Although their world is thrilling, it is fraught with danger, and the cubs' survival hinges on family unity.

> A mom and her three cubs' life journey. One of the latest Disneynature's documentary ventures. There's nothing wrong to call it a grizzly version of 'To the Arctic'. Because both films are about the mother bears and their new born cubs' first year of survival in the wilderness, but the differences are the fur and habitat. Shot in Alaskan coast side, the film crew followed the bear family for one circle of a year's season to capture the beginning of the life journey of newborn cubs with their mother. Like the Disney films famous for fairy tales and children friendly, Disneynature films as well not too far behind. Their films are not like we watch on Animal planet and Nationa Geography, the uncut and harsh version of animals' survival in the jungle. But a cute and enjoyable little epic tale. This film was narrated by our own jolly fellow John C. Reilly. Some of his lines were too good for kids and family, I mean comical. Like other Disneynature films is a must see for children. Hope along with kids, the adult would have a nice time. 8/10
