Brother Bear 2

Kenai, now living as a bear, keeps his human memories to himself until a blast from the past arrives in the form of his childhood friend Nita. She still wears the amulet he once gave her, and together they decide to remove it by burning it, a plan that would sever the link between their two worlds. Koda, Kenai's young cub companion, isn't happy about losing that connection and fears losing a friend as well. The two head through snow covered ridges, dense forests, and chilly rivers, facing old rivals and new challenges along the way. Their resolve tests loyalty, trust, and what it means to belong, while the landscape mirrors their inner conflicts. The story centers on friendship, family ties, and the duties that come with growing up.

Directed by Ben Gluck, this 2006 DisneyToon sequel continues the world begun in the 2003 feature. It features Patrick Dempsey as Kenai and Mandy Moore as Nita, expanding the story with familiar voice talent and new adventures, while preserving the warm, family-friendly tone.

Because it was released direct to home video, there is no theatrical box office to report. The project was produced by DisneyToon Studios as a direct-to-video continuation of the franchise, intended for family audiences.

Within the DisneyToon lineup, Brother Bear 2 stands as a modest entry that keeps the focus on family values and forgiving past choices. It reinforces the series' approach to animal characters living among humans and the idea that belonging can shift with time.

Reception notes the film continues the first movie's warmth while focusing on trust and growing up. The central idea centers on reconnecting with old friendships and balancing duty with personal desires, delivering a gentle tale for families and fans of the original. It remains approachable for younger viewers and for both younger audiences and parents alike.
