My seven year old was excited to get a copy of this to watch as every time the commercials would come on he would stop whatever he was doing and just become fixated. We watched this together and he loved it! I really didn’t think it would hold is attention but he liked watching the two baby cubs, Amber and Scout. The film takes you on a journey with momma bear Sky in Alaska.
The Disneynature series also includes “Earth,” “Oceans,” “African Cats” and “Chimpanzee,”. Did you know that through donations tied to opening-week attendance and week 1 Blu-ray sales for all four films, Disneynature, through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, has planted three million trees in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, established 40,000 acres of marine protected area in The Bahamas, protected 65,000 acres of savanna in Kenya, protected nearly 130,000 acres of wild chimpanzee habitat, educated 60,000 school children about chimpanzee conservation and cared for chimpanzees? As for “Bears”, every purchase of the movie during the first week of its release, Disneynature will make a donation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks, to further protect and conserve endangered or threatened wildlife and wild places as well as enhance field research across more than 2.9 million acres of National Park Service land.
Disneynature Bears is an epic story of breathtaking scale, this heartwarming and visually spectacular film showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons. Families everywhere can now travel to a majestic Alaskan wilderness teeming with life without leaving home as “Bears” arrives on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, and Digital HD featuring stunning high definition picture, transporting sound, and exciting bonus feature both parents and their children will love. ~Disney

Love yourself and be kind to others
Live life to the fullest.
A life lesson I hope to leave my daughter is this: it is vital to love God and to love others. Life apart from these two things has no meaning.
That it is always best to be honest
Be yourself and don’t care what anybody else thinks about you.
One lesson I will teach my little one is send good out into the world and it’ll come back to you. People are still going to be mean, but the problem is them-not you.
Do not be a bully and always treat eeryone with respect, even if they seem a bit different than you
Treat people with kindness, don’t judge. People are people no matter their race,sexual preference, etc. Also be strong and do what you believe is right.
I always tell my children to be responsible for their actions. This also includes their environment, which they share with other living beings, be it human or animal. They should respect the earth and all it’s living things.

Do to others with what you want done to you.
& also, I want my kids to not let other peoples words effect them. I was beat up all though my childhood by a neighbor, and made fun of constantly.

I hope my kids will know to go ahead and take a chance, do things purely for the fun or adventure, travel. This is a really short life we get.
