Boonie Bears, Homeward Journey

This animated DVD movie lasts a little over 65 minutes and features two likable bear brothers, Briar and Bramble, and their archenemy Logger Vick in a two-part storyline. In part 1, the bear brothers team up with a few other forest animals in stopping Logger Vick from cutting down an old pine tree. In part 2, the more poignant part, the bears actually help Logger Vick get back to his parents' home for the Chinese New Year's reunion. The audio track is English only; voice acting is okay, sometimes a little over the top as is usual with these dubbed foreign cartoons, and quite noisy most of the time, but generally intelligible and professionally done. My kids really like this movie and even though they're still young, they get the message about getting home and getting together with one's family. You get a really funny car chase sequence, and a monkey king that reminds me of that lemur from Penguins of Madagascar, but less gay-ish. The DVD is not rated but there's a bit of cartoon violence and mildly foul language like "you stinking bears!" so I'd guess it's at the PG level. The animation is done in high-quality computer generated graphics.

I haven't yet watched it in English, I've only watched in Chinese not knowing The language. It reminded me of classic Looney Tunes. Think Road Runner meets Coyote. My kids aged 3-5 love Boonie Bears so much we had a theme birthday party.

I purchased this for $2 at Family Dollar, used.My daughter that is 10 couldn't stop laughing, she loves slap stick comedy.

Great kids movie! Great teaching experience for kids to learn about life and how sometimes things happen but it always works out in the end!
