Brother Bear 2 Coming in August

Submitted by: Meeko

Brother Bear 2, the sequel to the 2003 animated hit Brother Bear (which grossed $85 million), will be released on DVD on August 29th, 2006, and will contain three original songs from Melissa Etheridge.

Brother Bear 2 will once again feature Kenai, the human turned into a bear, the young cub Koda, and Rutt and Tuke the wisecracking moose. New to this movie are Rutt and Tuke’s comical paramours the “moosettes,” plus the outrageous Sha-Woman, and Kenai’s childhood friend and love interest Nita.

As often is the case with Disney sequels that are released directly to video, many of the voice stars from the original theatrical feature will return. Jeremy Suarez reprises his voice role as Koda, while Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas are back as the mixed-up moose duo of Rutt and Tuke.

Disney also is bringing in some high-profile actors to voice the new characters in Brother Bear 2, including Patrick Dempsey as Kenai, Mandy Moore as Nita, Wanda Sykes as Innoko and Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara as moosettes Anda and Kata.

Brother Bear 2 is presented in anamorphic widescreen 1.78:1 aspect ratio, and includes the bonus features "Behind The Music Of Brother Bear 2", and a trivia game, Trample Off, Eh?

You can find more information, and pre-order the movie, at the Brother Bear 2 DVD page.
