Tonight's Little Golden Book is Disney's Brother Bear. The book and movie are from 2003, and there is a big difference between the animation style of the movie and the illustrations in the book. As with most LGB's the drawings in this book are more cute and cartoon like. The book is adapted by Ben Smiley, illustrated by Samantha Clark and designed by Disney's Global Design Group.
I wasn't a big fan of the movie when it was in the theaters, and have never bothered to pick up the DVD. Judging from the numbers below, I wasn't the only one that didn't get to excited about this film. It did very well as a movie, but as far as Disney films go, it didn't really really hit the mark.

I do really like this book though, as it is a nice simple story, and I really like Samantha's wonderful illustrations. Well worth the 99 cents I paid at my local thrift shop.
