Fails to hit the right notes.

'The Bears and I' holds a storyline that we've basically seen before with these Disney animal-filled films, so there's nothing fresh or majorly interesting there. Likewise with the animals themselves, it's the studio's second release in four years that is about bears; see: 'King of the Grizzlies'. This one has a secondary plot involving Whites and Native Americans, another thing we've already seen numerous times.

Cast-wise it's alright, with Patrick Wayne leading as Bob. Chief Dan George (Peter) and Michael Ansara (Oliver) are OK, though Val... read the rest.
