Brother Bear
This is a story from long ago,
when the great mammoths
still roamed our lands.
It's the story
of my two brothers and me.
When the three of us were young,
we were taught
that the world is full of magic.
The source of this magic
is the ever-changing lights
The shaman woman of our village
told us that these lights
are the spirits of our ancestors,
and that they have the power
to make changes in our world.
Winter turns to spring.
into another.
But the greatest change I ever saw
was that of my brother,
a boy who desperately
wanted to be a man.
- Get down.
- What?
Get down! Get down!
Kenai.
Never try to milk a caribou.
No. No, don't. No. Come on, don't. No.
Hey. Will you two knock it off?
That's all right.
After today, he won't treat me like that.
Oh, right, the big manhood ceremony.
Doesn't matter what the spirits say,
you'll always be our baby brother.
- Well, wait till I get my totem.
- Baby brother.
Hey, I said knock it off.
The quicker we get these fish,
the faster we get to your ceremony.
Let's all just try and get along
for a few hours. Okay, Denahi?
- Whatever you say.
- Okay, Ken...
So, what are we waiting for?
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
When the Earth was young
and the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the great beyond
With its many paths
Man and nature lived side by side
In this wilderness of danger and beauty
Lived three brothers bonded by love
Their hearts full of joy
They ask now for guidance
Reaching out to the skies up above
Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls
with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
in this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same
Give us wisdom to pass to each other
And give us strength so we understand
That the things we do
The choices we make
Give direction to all life's plans
To look and wonder
at all we've been given
In a world that's not always as it seems
Every corner we turn
Only leads to another
A journey ends but another begins
Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls
with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
in this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same
- Kenai's back.
- Kenai.
Kenai, are you excited
about getting your spirit rock today?
It's not a rock. It'll be my totem.
Ooh!
I'll probably get a sabre-tooth tiger
for bravery,
or strength, or greatness.
- Something that fits me.
- A mammoth for your fat head?
- Make sure you get that basket tied up.
- Don't worry.
No stupid bear
is gonna get near this fish.
Just tie it up.
Just tie it up.
She's back. Tanana's back.
- Come on.
- Come on, Kenai, let's go.
- Come on.
Tanana's got your rock.
Come on.
Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls
with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
in this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same
Brothers all the same
Nana.
- Hey, Nana.
- Well, hello there, sweetheart.
What a big girl.
When each of us comes of age,
the great spirits reveal to us a totem
that helps guide us through our lives.
Some of us use courage to guide us.
Others patience.
And some of us beauty.
Kenai.
- You nervous?
- Excited.
You should be.
It's a good one.
Kenai, I have been to the mountain
where the lights touch the earth,
and the great spirits
have revealed to me your totem.
To become a man, your actions
must be guided by one thing.
Your totem is...
Love.
- What?
- Yes, love.
The bear of love?
A love that connects
- Who wants to trade?
- There is no trading.
Oh, Kenai,
love is the most precious of totems.
It reveals itself in unexpected ways.
Let love guide your actions,
then one day you'll be a man,
and we'll place your mark
next to those of our ancestors.
Oh.
There he is.
Come here, lover boy.
- Leave me alone.
- Kenai, wait.
- I'm sorry.
- What?
Your totem, I think it's really great.
- You do?
- Yeah. And I made you something.
Really?
Now when you skip around
loving everybody,
you'll smell so sweet.
Well, isn't this nice?
Instead of fighting,
you're giving each other flowers.
Yeah, isn't it lovely?
He's so in touch with his totem already.
Hey, dog breath,
go take care of the fish.
Sure. Kenai loves me, he loves me not.
Kenai loves me, he loves me not.
Kenai loves me, he loves...
- Kenai.
- He's just such a...
- Hey, bonehead.
Just because his totem is wisdom
doesn't mean he's wise.
- I mean, look at him.
- Kenai loves me, he loves me not.
Hi, Denahi.
- Oh, hi.
Let go!
on both of our totems.
I felt the same way
when Tanana gave me mine.
- Get out of here.
- No, really.
I said, "The eagle of guidance?
What does that mean?"
But now that I'm older,
I know it's about being a leader
and keeping an eye on you two.
I just want to get my handprint
on that wall.
Just be patient, Kenai.
When you live by your totem, you will.
- Really?
- Guarantee it.
But come on, the bear of love?
I mean, a bear doesn't love anyone.
They don't think. They don't feel.
I mean, they're...
- They're thieves.
- You didn't tie it up, did you?
Uh...
You should get the totem of pinheads.
Knock it off.
- We'll just make another basket.
- We?
Oh, no. It took me two weeks
to make that basket.
Get lover boy to do it.
He's the one always messing things up.
- Typical Kenai.
- All right, I'll go get your basket.
Kenai, wait. Kenai!
What?
Kenai!
Kenai!
- Where'd he go?
- If we're lucky, far away.
Kenai!
- Kenai.
- Sitka, no, you gotta get out of here.
- What?
- The bear. Behind you.
Hey, bear, come on. Over here.
Come on, bear, come this way.
Denahi!
- Hold on.
- Pull.
Sitka. Sitka!
Sitka.
Come on!
- Sitka!
- Sitka!
Sitka. Sitka!
- Sitka?
- Sitka, where are you?
Kenai.
No.
Sitka!
Sitka!
Denahi, let's find him!
Sitka.
Sitka, where are you? Sitka!
- You ready?
- For what?
I know what you're feeling,
but killing that bear is wrong.
Wrong? Our brother is dead
and it's because of that monster.
I don't blame the bear, Kenai.
- I see.
- Killing the bear won't make you a man.
Now you're trying to be wise.
I'm trying to follow my totem.
Why can't you?
has anything to do with being a man?
A man wouldn't just sit here
and do nothing.
Kenai. Don't upset the spirits.
Spirits.
Thanks for your wisdom.
I've got to stop him.
You left too soon, Sitka.
Your brothers need your guidance.
Ha!
Kenai.
What?
Sitka.
No.
I don't blame the bear, Kenai.
KENAl:
A man wouldn't just sit hereand do nothing.
So, Kenai,
you've decided to join the living.
