Brother Bear
Brother Bear is a 2003 American animated comedy-drama film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 44th Disney animated feature film. In the film, an Inuit boy named Kenai pursues a bear in revenge for a fight that he provoked in which his oldest brother Sitka is killed. He tracks down the bear and kills it, but the Spirits, incensed by this unnecessary death, change Kenai into a bear himself as punishment. In order to be human again, Kenai must travel to a mountain where the Northern lights touch the earth. On his way, Kenai is joined by a bear cub, and learns to see through another's eyes, feel through another's heart, and discovers the true meaning of brotherhood.

- Phil Collins performed "On my way", "No way out", and "Welcome" in Italian, French, Spanish and German, "Look through my eyes" in French, and "No way out" in Japanese.
- Several of the bears in the salmon run strongly resemble The Country Bears from the eponymous movie.
- The only one of the major animated Disney movies (which do not include Dinosaur (2000)) to include the black and orange Disney Pictures logo in its initial release. The black and orange logo was first used in 2000 and only lasted until 2006 when an elaborate CGI logo was unveiled during the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006).
- The leader of the bears in the salmon run is a clear caricature of his voice actor, Michael Clarke Duncan.
- Sitka's spirit can be seen throughout the movie after Kenai was changed into a bear. 1: After Kenai wakes up after being changed into a bear, an eagle sitting on a tree branch watches him then flies off. 2: When Kenai and Koda are riding on the mammoth's tusks, after Koda says "I always wanted a brother" and the scene movies upward an eagle is seen sitting on a tree branch watching the bears. 3. When Kenai and Koda are going through the "lava path" after Koda and Kenai walk off screen (before Koda scares Kenai), an eagle flies after them. 4: an eagle meets up with Denahi on the mountains. 5: During Kenai's ceremony at the end of the film, just before the screen goes black an eagle is sitting on a tree branch watching the ceremony then flies off.
