Brother Bear no Hoser!

I'm relieved: I finally checked and was able to confirm that the moose-characters are indeed being voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas! I was afraid they had just ripped off the characters for the film. I'm happy Moranis and Thomas were willing to bring those characters back out: I -love- the McKenzie Brothers! I'd go to see this just for them!

I was curious about this too. It sounded like it was a couple of guys trying to immitate their voices, but then it's been so many years their voices have probably changed some.

It's nice to find out it really is them. They could very well be the only good thing about this film. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but so far the trailers haven't left me with that good an impression of the film.

Whaaaat?

Call me crazy, but this looks ten bajillion times better than anything they've put out (CGI excepted) in the past several years.

I thought it looked good, too- and I like the moose! I've laughed at some of the commercials I've seen with them in it. I didn't know they were "caricatures" of the Strange Brew characters (which I haven't seen- sounds like I should...). I'm hoping this will be a good one from Disney again, finally!

The story sounds interesting, and I've heard it's taken/inspired from an actual Native American myth. I'm a little worried that it might get a bit heavy handed with the message.

The two big things that have put me off on the film are the style of animation. The fuzzy/pastel look doesn't do a lot for me. The characters look a little blurry or something is the best way I can describe it. Also, the character of the little bear sounds like he could be really annoying.

That said, I'm going to see the movie and give it a chance and hope that my original impressions are proven wrong.
