Two More Bears



Pixar’s Brave comes out on DVD in eight days. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, but the movie critics were underwhelmed. They said it fell short of the high standards set by Toy Story and its sequels. Their chief complaint was that Brave leans too heavily on the Disney movie Brother Bear from nine years ago. Okay, so both movies have human characters that turn into bears. I’ll bet none of them will dredge this up next month when The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey hits the theaters. You don’t remember the fellow in The Hobbit who turns into a bear? Maybe you should reread it. Personally, I think the ability to be a bear from time to time could come in handy; particularly at this time of year. I could bulk up and find a comfortable hideaway somewhere. A few months later I’d wake up thinner and it would be spring!

  1. Personally I would like to be a bear while pregnant, picture this - you're pregnant 4-6 months, give birth to a 1-2 pound baby - while you're asleep, and wake up to a bouncy baby bear, maybe 2.
    And any chance they'll skip Beorn? They skipped Tom Bombadil.

  2. What did we do before there was IMDb.com? According to the website, Beorn will make an appearance in the new movie. It's a shame they weren't able to include Tom Bombadil in The Fellowship of the Ring. I guess they figured that at 178 minutes it was already more than long enough.
