Brother Bear 2: Secret Bear Plot!

SPOILER ALERT. Warning this blog contains spoilers for Brother Bear 2.

I watched Brother Bear 2 the other day because the adorable children that I live with asked me too. Not a movie I’d recommend, the animation was nothing special and plot was painfully transparent to any veteran of the Disney genre (and I am thank you Aladdin and the Lion King). The main female character, a human, chooses to become a bear to live, assumably, happily ever after with her true love, another bear-turned-human. Why would anyone in her right mind choose to become a bear? Everyone knows that according to Steven Colbert that bears are the number one threat to us today. This is obviously a thinly veiled bear plot to lulled our children in to a false sense of security. Beware!

Taste of Chicago

Where can you find perogis, goat in coconut sauce, pizza, ribs, ice cream, frozen bananas, gyros, John Meyer, Kenny Rogers (Kenny Rogers look-a-likes) and the Budweiser horses all in one place? Taste of Chicago!! I went yesterday and it was awesome! The weather was great, the food was good and the crowds weren't too bad. It was a great place to people-watch. We walked all around the lake shore, saw the planetarium and aquarium, lots of yachts and goofly dressed people. Chicago is such an interesting and beautiful city.
