Brother Bear Page #2

Synopsis: Kenai, a man who resents bears after a fight with one kills his older brother, is turned into a bear so he can see life from a different perspective. He is visited by the spirit of his older brother, and is told that, if he wishes to be changed back into a human, he must travel to the place where the lights touch the Earth, in other words, the Northern Lights. Fueled by hope, Kenai sets off on his long journey, and, along the way, encounters a younger bear, Koda, who is a chatterbox and a fun-loving spirit; Koda is trying to find his way back to his home, the Salmon Run, which, coincidentally, is right next to where the lights touch the Earth. Koda and Kenai team up, but are hunted by Kenai's other brother, Denahi, who fears that the bear has killed Kenai as well. Along the way, the two bears meet other friends, including two moose, some rams, and some mammoths, with whom they hitch a ride. However, Kenai discovers that he likes being a bear, and realizes that humans aren't only afraid

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?

For going after the bear.

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?

You really think love

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 here

and do nothing.

So, Kenai,

you've decided to join the living.

Ooh-hoo.

That's quite a bump you've got.

That must have been one heck of a ride

down the rapids.

Tanana?

Ooh.

Nana, you won't believe this.

I was at the top of this rock,

and all of a sudden...

Kenai, honey. Shh-shh-shh.

I don't speak bear.

No.

No, no! No!

All right! All right! All right!

Would you settle down? Settle!

Kenai! Kenai...

Kenai. Kenai. This isn't going to work.

Kenai, listen to me. Sitka did this.

Strange. Spirits don't usually

make these kind of changes.

Oh. Oh, my, my, my, my.

Sitka must have something really big

planned for you. Yep, yep.

You are going to get

a whole new perspective on things.

Oh! Do you see

in black and white or colour?

Hey. Listen to me.

You got yourself into this mess.

If you want to change,

take it up with your brother's spirit.

You'll find him on the mountain

where the lights touch the earth.

He'll help you make up

for what you've done wrong.

But I didn't do anything wrong.

Tanana? Tanana!

Wait. I didn't do anything wrong.

- I don't even know how to get there.

What happened to them?

I don't know.

They were here.
