Cyrus K @Keyflame626 01/04/2023 Disney nature knows how to make really good documentaries. See more 11/23/2020 I loved this film!!!!! FIVE STARS! The documentary Bears follows a family of bears in the Alaskan wilderness. The story begins with incredible footage of the cubs being born. I had no idea cubs were so small the first few days of life, they almost looked like little puppies. In my opinion, Disneynature did an exceptional job at really showing its viewers the true battles certain species face in order to survive. Following the birth of mother bear Sky's cubs, she begins her tedious journey across miles and miles of deep snow, passing through dangerous avalanches and avoiding potential enemies. It amazed me to watch the cubs follow momma bear so intently and really loved watching the two cubs blossom into two such different personalities. Male cub Scout had a far more independent and adventurous attitude, whereas his sister had a tendency to stick close to mom and avoid as much danger as possible. The relationships were very strong between this family and the close-nit unit is what kept them alive in certain situations. No matter the challenge this little family of three were faced with, momma bear was always there to protect the cubs from danger. It was made clear from the beginning that the voyage up and down the mountains were in efforts to reach fresh water, where they had access to the seemingly everlasting food bank. Although there was a surplus of salmon for all to enjoy, the bears still broke into fights over the silliest of things. What was really interesting was seeing the behavior die down after bellies were full and competition subsided. Even the worst of enemies were seen hanging out side by side. It amazed me to see such close-up shots of such incredible animals. This documentary does an amazing job at really showing what the first life of a cub and mother bear can look like.
