The Plot
The film is set in post-ice
age in Alaska, where the local tribesmen believe all creatures are created
through Spirits, said to appear in the form of an aurora. Three brothers, Kenai, Denahi, and Sitka, return to their
tribe in order for Kenai to receive his sacred totem, its meaning being what he
must achieve to call himself a man. Unlike Sitka, who gained the eagle of
guidance, and Denahi who gained the wolf of wisdom, Kenai receives the bear of
love, much to his objections, stating that bears are thieving monsters. He
believes his point is made a fact when a bear steals some salmon. Kenai and his
brothers follow the bear's trail; when they find the bear, Kenai recklessly
throws rocks at it. Provoked, the bear attacks Kenai and he and his brothers
battle the animal on a giant glacier. When the bear gets the upper hand, Sitka
sacrifices himself to save his brothers by causing both himself and the bear to
fall off the glacier. However, the bear survives and runs off into the woods.
After Sitka's funeral, Kenai,
outraged that Sitka died and the bear was allowed to live, heads out to avenge
his elder brother. He chases the bear up onto a mountain and engages it in a
fight, eventually stabbing it and killing it. The Spirits, represented by
Sitka's spirit in the form of a bald eagle transforms Kenai into a bear after
the dead bear's body evaporates. Denahi arrives, and, mistaking Kenai for dead
and his bear form is responsible for it, vows to avenge Kenai.
Kenai falls down some river
rapids, survives, and is healed by Tanana (voiced by Joan Copeland), the shaman
of Kenai's tribe. She does not speak the bear language, but advises him to
return to the mountain to find Sitka and be turned back to normal, but only when
he corrects what he had done wrong; she quickly disappears without an
explanation. Kenai quickly discovers the wildlife can talk, meeting two brother
mooses, Rutt
and Tuke . He gets caught in a trap, but is freed by a chatty bear
cub named Koda. The two bears make a deal,
Kenai will go with Koda to a nearby salmon run and then the cub will lead Kenai
to the mountain. As the two eventually form a sibling-like bond, Koda reveals
that his mother is missing. The two are hunted by Denahi who fails multiple
times to kill Kenai, still unaware that he is his brother. Rutt and Tuke run
into the bears multiple times, the group hitching a ride on a herd of mammoths
to quicken the pace to the salmon run, but the moose are left behind when the
bears move on. Next, the bears encounter some cave paintings, a pair of rams
arguing with their own echo, and a land of geysers. Kenai and Koda escape
Denahi again, and reach the salmon run, where a large number of bears live as a
family, including the leader Tug , a huge Grizzly Bear.
Kenai becomes very much at home and at content with the other bears. During a
discussion among the bears, Koda tells a story about his mother fighting human
hunters on a glacier, making Kenai realize that the bear he killed was Koda's
mother.
Guilty and horrified, Kenai
runs away, but Koda soon finds him. Kenai reveals the truth to Koda, who runs
away heartbroken, because he is an orphan now. Unable to apologize to Koda
because he can't find the cub, Kenai leaves to climb the mountain himself. Rutt
and Tuke, having fallen off the mammoths (Rutt having lost an antler in the
process), reform their brotherhood in front of Koda, prompting him to go after
Kenai. Denahi confronts Kenai on the mountain, but their fight is intervened by
Koda who steals Denahi's hunting spear. Kenai goes to Koda's aid out of love,
prompting Sitka to appear and turn him back into a human, much to Denahi and
Koda's surprise. Even though he can't talk to humans, Koda doesn't want Kenai
to leave, because ever since he came into the cub's life, he has been like a
brother to him. However, Kenai asks Sitka to transform him back into a bear so
he can stay with Koda. Sitka complies, and Koda is reunited briefly with the
spirit of his mother, before she and Sitka return to the Spirits. In the end,
Kenai lives with the rest of the bears and paints his paw print on the village
wall. At last, Kenai gains his title as a man, through being a bear.
