Brotherhood: The Complete First Season [3 Discs] [DVD]

A working-class Irish family is torn between right and wrong when two brothers live out their destinies on opposite sides of the law. While Tommy pursues ambitions as a rising star in politics, Michael seeks power the only way he knows how - amidst the gritty underworld of violence and crime. And in a world where mothers choose favorites, wives keep secrets and friends are won and lost by the deals they make, doing what is right and doing what is necessary - are rarely the same. Brotherhood tells the story of two brothers who sometimes share a twisted sense of moral compromise - each with his own skewed, idealistic vision of what makes the American dream.

The Oscar-nominated animated feature Brother Bear comes to DVD with this feature-packed two-disc set from Disney. The film is presented in a pair of transfers. The widescreen 2.35:1 transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film, while a second image is presented in a 1.66:1 aspect ratio. The supplemental materials strike a nice balance between providing fun stuff for kids and more substantive filmmaking information for movie lovers. A fairly involved making-of documentary, deleted scenes, interactive games, and a music video for the Phil Collins song "Look Through My Eyes," are all fine, but the best part of the disc is the commentary delivered by Rutt and Tuke, the moose in the film voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. They are very entertaining and will bring a smile to the viewer's face regardless of age. This is a solid release from Disney DVD.
