Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck that says "Please look after this bear. Thank you," and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.

Took my kids to see this. It was a good movie but a tad overrated. You would think this was one of the best kids movies or movies in cinematic history with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 98%.

I just didn't see it. Yes, the movie had humor, charm and the CGI was pretty good. The kids loved it and it was entertaining from an adult perspective. Yes it's worth seeing if you have young ones. However, it was a tad formulaic and it was not the best kids movie I have ever seen by any stretch.

I simply must have watched a different movie than the critics. Again, I thought it was a good movie but not as great as the reviews made it out to be.

Saw the trailer and was thankful my kids are too old to want to see this. Looks painful to watch.
