    ganska bra naturspelfilm.. men vissa saker hade dom missat och vissa saker var inte så speciellt verklighetstroget, saker med björnarna och gevären (man kan bara ladda max 2 skott åt gången i ett gevär som deras tex. Han skör 4 stycken skott på rad, s¨å många får som sagt inte plats utan attt man måste ladda om.)

    Men annars var den sevärd. Men inget man kollar på många gånger och inte med kompisarna. Det var verkligen noll spänning.. men björnungen är grymt söt.. :P

    Duas estrelas porque não posso dizer que seja o meu género de movie, se o fosse atribuiria mais algumas com certeza.
    Os cenários são fantásticos. Agradou-me aquele silêncio,
    a maior parte do tempo só se ouvem os sons da floresta, muito pouco diálogo entre os dirty hunters. E pronto é isto, uma relação entre*dois ursos, um adulto e um pequeno órfão que nos leva a passear pelos seus pesadelos e alucinações inocentes, ah e a atitude típica de dois caçadores. (Preferia que a lição dada aos caçadores fosse outra...
    ... mas não podia ser, o publico alvo passava-se!)
    *Se alguém me tornar a dizer que este filme é sobre o comportamento dos ursos vou-me rir à brava! Que eu saiba, os machos matam os litle ones.

    I can still remember watching this movie as a child, crying so much when the cub's mommy die, laughing at the "adult" things he tried to do, and just being confused when he ate those mushrooms and started trippin'

    I remember watching this movie in the theater when I was a wee one. While I probably enjoyed it then I doubt it would do anything for me these days!

    This move is foremost cute, the cub, on its own after its mother dies from a falling rock, will make you laugh and maybe even cry. The cinematography, of the scenes from British Columbia, is outstanding and the storyline gets interesting when a large mountain lion takes an interest in the cute cub. Well worth a look!

    Not a great movie, but a movie that lays bare the difference between animals and people as far as compassion, sad and unlikely as far as the story, but a great message

    Okay, I loved this film when I saw it. It was excellent. I was much younger, that's true, though I'm sure I still would enjoy the film. If you can find it it's worth renting... I hope. I haven't seen it in years, gonna have to look for it myself.

    There is no more majestic, more beautiful, intelligent, kinder, warmer, pettable living creature than the grizzly bear.

    It's been a while but ... you just can't forget this movie. The bear is HUGE! There's almost no words, but that doesn't take away from the film. I don't know if I could act with such a wild beast. Actors deserve some credit.

    A good movie, but for some reason the part where the cub is having nightmares, I had nightmares from that too.

    This is one of my favourite movies. A young orphaned bear cub befriends an older grumpy male grissly. Its breath-taking and beautiful. Highly reccommended.

    Smart bears defend themself from dumb hunters. Not much dialog, but I am sure you have a friend that will fill that void.

    Real peoples' voices used for animals and this is supposed to be realistic? I really didn't think that the 2-3 minute mating scene between two ferociously grunting bears was appropriate for children either. This should not be PG!

    This story follows a cute little bear and a bigger bear and their incunter with man. It has it sads part, but thats just how nature is. Anyway it ends really well but a little abrupt.
