Bears (2014) [Movie Review]

When I noticed that John C. Reilly was narrating Disneynature's next movie, Bears, I was quite surprised. It did not strike me as a movie he would be interested in working on, but his involvement definitely made me interested in this movie. This documentary follows a mama bear and her two cubs over the course of a year. It shows the dangers the bears face and generally informs the viewer of the various obstacles the animals face.

John C. Reilly was a great narrator in this. In addition to the normal narration, he gives life to the animals by 'talking' for them. Just about every time he impersonated the bears, I was laughing. It was good, clean fun that fit perfectly with the film.

If you have kids, I highly recommend taking them to see this movie. If you don't have kids, I highly recommend you take yourself to see this. Any tickets purchased opening weekend (which is any time between now and April 24), Disneynature will make a contribution to the National Park Foundation to protect wildlife and wild places across America’s national park system.

Rating: 8/10
