Background on Disney Nature's Bears

In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure BEARS
showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are
taught life’s most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming
with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from
hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting—but risky—as the cubs’
playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches. As the
season changes from spring to summer, the brown bears must work hard to find food—
ultimately feasting at a plentiful salmon run—while staying safe from rival male bears and
predators, including an ever-present wolf pack. BEARS captures the fast-moving action
and suspense of life in one of the planet’s last great wildernesses—Alaska!
