Steet and other members of Animation Source,
Here is my submission for the “create information” fan contest.  My idea for a new addition to the hub is "Brother Bear Source"--a site dedicated to the movies "Brother Bear" and "Brother Bear II."

Summary: Brother Bear (2003)

	A story based on North American Inuit folk lore, Brother Bear is the story of two brothers--Kenai and Denahi.  At the beginning of the story, Kenai is about to recieve his Totem, which is basically a rock shaped like an animal that represents a key value that the person must master before becoming a man.  Later on, a mistake Kenai made early on comes back to haunt him when a bear steals the villiage's fish.  After an incident with the bear, Kenai's oldest brother, Sitka, is killed.  Seeking revenge, Kenai hunts the bear and manages to kill it, throwing his life into a wild ride of chaos.  
	After killing the bear, Kenai is turned into a bear himself.  To make matters worse, Denahi is convinced that a bear killed Kenai, and is out for revenge himself.  Meeting a cute cuddly cub named Koda, Kenai sets out to reach "where the lights touch the earth" in order to change back to a human.  After a stunning final battle between Kenai and Denahi, Kenai is finally turned back into a human, only to decide to go back to live as a bear.

Summary: Brother Bear II (2006)

	At the beginning of the story, we meet Nita, a blushing bride on her wedding day.  When the spirits interfere, Nita finds out that she has to find Kenai and burn an amulet he gave her when they were friends as kids before she can marry.  The spirits give her the ability to speak to animals.
	Along the way to Hokani falls, the designated spot for the burning of the amulet, Kenai, Koda, and Nita meet the moose, Rutt and Tuke, and a racoon named Berring.  In the end, Nita ends up falling in love with Kenai and turning into a bear to join him.

Character Profiles for Brother Bear (2003) and Brother Bear II (2006):

Kenai
A headstrong young teenager who keeps an idea in his head until it is achieved.  

Koda
An energetic cub who travels with Kenai. He initially searches for his mother, but eventually switches to being "brothers" with Kenai.

Denahi
Kenai's brother. His totem is the wolf of wisdom, but he doesn't act wise. He only appears in the first movie.

Sitka
Kenai's other brother. He dies at the beginning of the film, but continues to make appearances as the eagle, since his totem was the eagle of guidance. He does not appear in the second film.

Tanana
The shaman of Kenai's tribe in the first movie. It is suggested that her totem was beauty, although her ever-present face paint and well-aged face has a beauty all its own. She explains to Kenai that he has to go to where the lights touch the earth in order to become human again.

Tug
A large and forbidding figure, Tug is a kindly bear the Kenai meets at the salmon run, then again on the frozen lake in the second movie. He is like a father figure to Koda, and is also looked up to by all the other bears.

Nita
Kenai's childhood friend. She originally found Kenai so she could marry Atka, a brave from a neighboring tribe, but ends up falling in love with Kenai.

Rutt and Tuke
Generally together except on rare occasions, these brothers are always fighting and poking fun at each other. Not very bright, even for a pair of moose, they repeatedly call on Kenai and Koda for help in the second movie, and travel with them for a while in the first one.

Berring
A gruff raccoon, Berring stole the amulet, causing a pine cone fight between Kenai, Koda, and about a million other raccoons.

Bucky
Öne of Koda's friends that we never actually meet. From what we hear, though, he's quite exciting.
