According to a story in The New York Times, Canadians Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas have provided a DVD commentary for Brother Bear “in which two guys who sound a lot like the beer-loving McKenzie brothers dissect the movie, the art of animation, even Disney itself.”
In any case viewers who watch the DVD commentary are getting a skewed sort of education in the finer points of animation. For instance Rutt and Tuke point out that the appearance of a chipmunk in an animated film is always a harbinger of danger. And Rutt explains how Disney has been able to keep costs under control all these years:
“You know those ads in the magazines and stuff, `Learn to Draw’? So, like Walt Disney Company says, ‘Draw a bear exactly like this,’ and they get thousands of drawings of bears in, and then they put them all together and color them in, and that becomes the bear part of the movie.”
