Adoption Content:

The movie begins with the bear finding out he was adopted. He is told by his human brother who is quite cruel in telling him he is adopted. I don't remember the movie ever making any mention of the bears birth parents. Positive: It is a good clean family movie. And has a happy ending.

Tone:

Negative: Brother is cruel in telling him he doesn't belong cause he is not a kid he is a bear. He tells him that they don't even look alike and shows a baby picture of himself and picture of the day they got him. The bear then runs away.

Comments:

In the end of the movie the brother accepts the bear as his brother. (of course he is now a star with the country bears) They are now one big happy family

Recommendation:

My concern was when my own son was little he was always proud of being adopted. It wasnt until he was in third or fourth grade that he was made fun of because of adoption. I am thankful for the first 8 or 9 years of him being able to view adoption as positive. If he had seen this movie at a young age it would have burst that bubble much sooner.
