In the
Disney-animated
adventure Brother Bear,
Joaquin Phoenix provides the voice of
Kenai, a young Native American boy whose brother,
Sitka (voice of
D.B. Sweeney), is killed by a mother bear protecting her cubs. With revenge in mind,
Kenai sets out into the woods only to find himself magically transformed into a bear himself. Seeing the world through the eyes of his prey,
Kenai is forced to learn a lesson about nature and life. On a comic footnote:
Brother Bear also features the voices of
Rick Moranis and
Dave Thomas as
Rutt and
Tuke, moose characters reminiscent of their beer-guzzling McKenzie brothers from
SCTV and
Strange Brew; because this is a family-oriented cartoon - and it would be inappropriate for the moose to quaff beer -- the two moose express a fondness for eating wheat hops instead.
