Bears Reviews

Christy Lemire
"Bears" could have used a lot more science; more substantive information in the place of wacky one-liners. Still, the images trump everything.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
As with all of Disneynature's features, there's astonishing documentary work on display in "Bears" - but a leaner, less conspicuously structured view of the wild might have had even greater impact.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
There are grittier nature documentaries out there, but "Bears" is simple and effective, and delivered with that friendly Disney touch. Its intent is to make you say, "awww," and it does its job well.
Entertainment Weekly
Adam Markovitz
If the sight of bear cubs prancing through wildflowers doesn't make you smile, then you probably won't like the new Disneynature documentary Bears. You also probably aren't human.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
An enjoyable and visually stunning romp through the scenic Alaskan wilderness with a small family of bears.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The "nature" aspects of Bears are undercut by the need to turn this into a live-action Disney cartoon, complete with cuddly heroes and nasty villains.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
A formulaically entertaining combination of gorgeous cinematography and unapologetic anthropomorphization.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
Don't look for Disneynature's "Salmon" anytime soon.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
There's only so much editing can do to make a bear story seem like a human one, and the filmmakers (Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey directed) also go to unfortunate lengths to give human characteristics like laziness to the bears.
Washington Post
Sandie Angulo Chen
As with Fothergill's previous nature documentaries, "Bears" is a story of triumph and family.
Orange County Register
Michael Sragow
The astounding footage of a mother bear and two cubs fishing, fighting and hanging tough through a challenging year of foraging transcends the folksy narration.
CinemaBlend
Kristy Puchko
Bears works very well as an emotional story of survival and family. But at 77-minutes, it felt a little overlong.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The devotion and persistence of these animals is a powerful reminder that family connections link all species. With this peek into their world, we are more aware of our own.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
Sincere and unexpectedly good, the film happily reintroduces another element of classic kids' movies: a tidy 77-minute run time.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Bonus points for all but eliminating the easy scatological humor. Does a bear (poop) in the woods? You won't find out watching "Bears."
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Despite the bracing beauty of the wilderness, and the respite provided by cubs at play, the movie is primarily a sobering treatise on survival.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
Amid its heaping serving of cuddliness ... the film doesn't sugarcoat the harsh reality and unforgiving elements with which the bears have to contend.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
The Disneynature movies shouldn't be mistaken for traditional documentary, but if they act as a gateway drug for young children to learn more about the animal kingdom, then the films are serving a real purpose.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
It may be rated G, but for the most part this is serious stuff, as potentially traumatic for younger viewers as the death of Bambi's mother.
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Another typically engaging, vividly shot entry in the successful Disney wildlife series.
