A recent article at Film Force discusses Disney’s Brother Bear from a deep Campbellian and Jungian perspective by exploring its archetypes and the hero’s journey that Kenai takes in the film. It also dignifies the roles of the fraternal moose pair, Rutt and Tuke, by showing that they are more than mere comic relief but also serve as a parallel to the developing brotherhood of Kenai and Koda. For those who like to delve beyond the surface meaning of stories and find penetrating psychological insights, this article is a good read.
