When I watched this video, which is beautifully packaged into 2 discs with many added features, I was wondering if this is the Eisner effect at Disney: going too far into animism. Watching the boy morph into a bear is portrayed so that a 3 yr. old child will understand.
There are far more entertaining Disney productions that I’ve seen: “Snow White” and “Fantasia” to name just two, which go way back. There are some cute scenes in the forest, but the songs make it clear: we’re all one, brothers with the animals. The boy eventually morphs back into his own body, but not without another animism-type scene. Dove has approved this video, but there are better offerings by this company!
