Originally titled “The Bear and the Bow,” the movie weaves a a tapestry of bear and mother goddess symbolism which I find fascinating. Having just watched the Disney / Pixar movie Brave, I’m pondering the vaguely Scottish-Irish-Celtic-European mythology and motifs buried in this film. So there you have it! Your Disney bears! What do you think? If you have any ideas for future subjects, please put them in the comments section.The Celtic Goddess Artio, photograph by Sandstein, Wikimedia Commons He even has his own place called Koslov’s Palace. Mr Big has several polar bears as his bodyguards in Zootopia, but the most expressive is Koslov. Sweet, philosophical, and out to find where Christopher Robin has gone. This version of Winnie the Pooh is similar to the earlier version. This is a human prince who couldn’t let go of his hatred so he was turned into a bear and remained as such, unlike Queen Elinor. There are several bears in Pixar’s Brave, but I will go with probably the fiercest bear ever animated: Mor’du. Never was a huggable bear so villainous! Lotso is bitter and uses that bitterness to control all those around him with an iron fist at the daycare center in Toy Story 3. However, the lead character is a bear named Kenai, and he learns to care for others as he journeys with Koda throughout the film. Part of the Disney Afternoon, the Gummi bears bounced their way through the Gummi-Glen, making gummi-berry juice each week for 5 seasons.Īlmost all the characters in Brother Bear are (you guessed it) bears. I know there are probably a lot of Disney television shows with bears, but I am only going to pick this one because it was from my youth. It is one of the scariest of all the Disney bears In the climax for the Fox and the Hound, a ferocious bear attacks our heroes. He’s very funny, especially when he tries to con Prince John out of all his gold. Pretty much a carbon copy of Baloo, Little John helps Robin Hood rob the rich and give to the poor in Robin Hood. The bear that sings the “Bare Necessities” in The Jungle Book! Baloo is all about relaxing and enjoying life yet, he can be brave when the situation calls for it. In his first feature film, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Winnie has adventures on a blustery day, meets some bees living on a honey tree, and helps Tigger with his bouncing Probably Disney’s most iconic bear, Winnie is a deep thinker and is extremely loyal to Christopher Robin and his friends. His shorts appeared from 1950-1956 and are very funny.

Humphrey lived in a national park with a park ranger he was constantly causing problems for. A character similar to what Hanna-Barbera would create with Yogi Bear.
