A heartwarming family adventure about transformation and brotherhood, where an impulsive boy learns empathy by literally becoming a bear and bonding with a young cub.

When an impulsive boy named Kenai is magically transformed into a bear, he must literally walk in another's footsteps until he learns some valuable life lessons. His courageous and often zany journey introduces him to a forest full of wildlife, including the lovable bear cub Koda, hilarious moose Rutt and Tuke, woolly mammoths and rambunctious rams.
