Disneynature’s Bears on Blu-ray Combo Pack Now!

*I received this DVD from Disney. All my opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.*

While we did not get a chance to see Disneynature’s Bears in the movie theatre, we were more than excited to watch it this past week when it came out on DVD. I was hesitant if my kids would like it or if it would hold their interest, since the premise was about bears. However, it absolutely exceeded my expectations and the kids were drawn to it, from the moment is started. They liked it so much so, that they asked to watch it over and over again all week, and invited their friends over to join in on the fun.

The visual effects are simply amazing in this movie. You actually feel like you are up and personal with the bears and the cinematography was stunning. The way they filmed this movie, you feel like you are in the actual outdoors and gave me a new appreciation of these treasured animals. Disneynature’s Bears is available now on DVD and it should definitely be added to your Disney movie collections.
