- Set in Canada!
- Now THAT's how you do a transformation scene. Take that, Snow White Queen!
- No villain nor hero; the struggle is internal. That actually makes it easier to relate to
- A remarkable and moving climax, that really draws you in after the amount of development they put into setting it up
- Tons of surprises
- A respectful portrayal of First Nations culture
- The movie's more about forgiveness rather than eye-for-an-eye like most Disney films and fairy tales

THE BAD
- Minus the Transformation scene, the rest of the songs stink. They could've saved a ton of money hiring a real First Nations band rather than Tina Turner and Phil Collins, whose Aboriginal roots I question.
- The comic relief is abysmal. While the moose with their Canadian accents was cute for awhile, the joke gets pretty lame after the 10,000th time (by the way, we don't talk like that!!)

THE INTERESTING
I notice that a lot of recent Disney films have gotten out of London and fairytales, and are instead telling stories around North America and the world. I personally appreciate what they're doing, a lot of kids are going to get interested about the world out there through Disney.

Disney tente de renouer avec ses succès passés, le résultat est prévisible mais non dénué d'émotion, l'ensemble reste tout de même très standard malgré une volonté évidente de redresser la barre.

a good family film. sappy in some parts but overall a good family film.

Insensitive and misanthropic.

good.. but not one of disney's best

Children and their parents are likely to relate on completely different levels, the adults connecting with the transfer of souls from man to beast, while the kids are excited by the adventure stuff.

A generally upbeat and engaging tale of friendship and understanding.

A sweet celebration of brotherhood in its many forms.
