Just like the topic title says.
Kenai's confession almost made me tear up, seeing Koda all torn up and running away from him in tears. The sad song didn't help either. Quite an emotional scene.
And for some odd reason, every time I listen to the Brother Bear soundtrack, I almost tear up. Look Through My Eyes and No Wait Out, those two songs always touch my heart every time I listen to them. Just the emotion in the lyrics and how Phill Collins sings... *Sniff*

The second time I saw it and was alone in theaters I got teary-eyed, but did not cry. Every time I here "No Way Out" I feel melancholy. But no movie made me cry, that was till I saw "Marly and Me". but that's another story.

I'm honestly not sure if I did cry or not.

Ah, yes, the confession scene was one of most emotionally striking scenes for me in the entire movie! I quote from my first comment every posted here at AAAB:
Awesome memories! God really has used this movie to change my life, and brought me here with my Awaken as a bear family! So glad we're all here together! ^_^

I actually don't remember if I cried during the confession. What really stands out is the first transformation; the power of the music, combined with everything else, made me cry every time I saw that scene for the first several viewings, and even when I listened to the soundtrack for a while. The effect eventually wore off (probably from over-playing that CD ), but it still gets me a little choked up sometimes.

Too be honest...
I kind of saw the confession coming. I had a feeling, from what I'd read on-line about the basic plot of the movie, that the bear Kenai killed at the start would somehow be connected to Koda.
Still, the confession scene was very well done. Even though I didn't really cry during it, it was a powerful moment that helped to strike home how much Kenai had grown attached to Koda. He knew he'd done wrong, but rather than try to cover it up he tried to apologize and find a way to make things right.

Well to be honest I am a person that cry for everything cause my condition. But i remember the first time I see the movie, Keni talked me about the movie when he visited me for the forst time. To be honest I cried a lot during transformation scene, in the confession scene too, it was heartbreaking to see the little cub with tears in his eyes very frustrating. The end of the movie touch me very profound in my heart and makes me cry too also cause, for some reason it opened and old wound I had, making me feel again to need a brother.

Yeah, I've cried too a lot. First it was the confession scene that brought tears in my eyes. I've usually watched the film in English but sometimes I had the Finnish subtitles there - and the lyrics of No Way Out are (naturally) really sad in Finnish, too. Then there was a time when I cried whenever I saw the scene towards the end when Kenai is human again and Koda recognizes him and leaps to his arms and they hug. That was about three years ago when I, having been through a sort of personal crisis, was already in quite an emotional mood. Actually watching that scene (and the film) was one of the things that comforted me a lot back then. Nowadays I don't get tears in my eyes that easily.. and at times I miss that really, really touched feeling

Yeah, that scene is so extremely touching, too. I remember when I saw it for the first time, I was totally lost and sweet and couldn't stop thinking about it. It's so lovely when Kenai hugs Koda and says: "Lucky for him, he met this little bear who showed him how to do all those things.. and.. well, a lot more." It shows how the journey with Koda has taught Kenai the lesson. Actually there aren't so many of these cute hugging moments between them - and also that's why this scene is so special.

The first time, Yeah I really had tears in the corner of my eyes. But that was really inevitable I'm very touched when it comes to topics/subjects like these, as for how great things looked when Kenai became a bear and met Koda walking the journey etc, I just knew that he had to face his deeds to someone and not only his brother Sitka, but to someone close and when Koda tried to tell his story just before the "I'm on my way" song, you got the hint it was this little cub.. Yeah the confession scene really gave me wet eyes oh and let not forget when Kenai became human, their brothery bond.. it's over?
From the beginning and still at this moment, I'm emotionally effected by Brother Bear, it's hard to explain but you can say that it's important to me.
Brother Bear 2, well there were some moments when my expression wasn't that have a very happy person you know x3 but in overall no, less than BB1. I have to confess that I wanted to kick Atka off that rock over there, if he likes to fall down several feet! (I'm against hunting so..) I really hoped Kenai was allright because to me it looked like he was quite injured. Oh and I felt bad for Koda during the movie, girls really twist your mind eh?

I have to confess that I wanted to kick Atka off that rock over there, if he likes to fall down several feet! (I'm against hunting so..) Well, if you think about it from his point of view, it's a bit different, isn't it? The conditions those people live in, for example. They are all used to thinking that bears are dangerous, and the village seems to be quite vulnerable. He wants to protect the people (and, well, very likely one of his motives is to impress Nita ) Perhaps he thinks that if the bear won't be killed, it'll come back later, or then it goes to some other village and terrorizes the people there. Besides, he doesn't have the slightest idea whom he actually is fighting. (I wonder how many people have heard about the bear-boy..) But then again, yeah, I think I know what you mean. To me, he has always been a bit annoying, especially after the fight scene when he's standing on the cliff, looking down and smiling. I remember last year I really hated that smirk. And one evening on May 2008, when I was in my room, reading a book, it just randomly popped to my thoughts, and I remember myself sitting on the bed, trying to read, laughing and raging to myself about it. It annoyed me so much that it begun to be rather funny Not the situation in the film, that is, but the smirk and how much it annoyed me. Ok, I guess this went a bit offtopic..

Well isn't that just the place nature placed bears? Koda was already spotted before Kenai jumped in, so it's logical that this bear is protecting it's cub for Kenai's sake, brother. They thinking that this bear is terrorizing the village is rather.. I dunno just not a good taught. (Like if it happens that often?)
Wild bears rather stay away from these villages, with the exception of some which have came in contact with humans.
And yeah he couldn't have known that this was Kenai, but it would be just as bad to kill this bear (Kenai) as Kenai did when getting revenge. Whoo how would Atka look in bearfrom? x3
And yeah I totally agree to the point when he's showing that smirk, that was prety much what I meant with when kicking him off the rock, he had pleasure in killing/wounding. And I don't see victory in a thing like this, as something to be happy about.
Nah that would prety much be my fault x3 too seriously hehe, but eh good to talk about things right?

Ok, it is rather silly of them not to realize that Kenai is protecting Koda. What I really don't understand is, why they are so alarmed when they see Koda in the first place. I mean, he's a bear cub, he couldn't possibly hurt anyone. Haha, now that's quite a thought xD I wonder what would be his reaction to that xD Neither do I. If I was in a situation like that, I'd be shocked.. On the other hand, he might be smiling also because he's relieved (he's not in danger anymore), but then again, it is annoying, because this is basically what I, as a viewer, see at that moment: Kenai is half-dead, Nita is hysterical and Atka is.. smiling? Very nice.. Yeah, it definitely is! ^^ How about we start a thread about this subject? I'd like to share more thoughts about Atka, because he.. well, at times he confuses me :S I'd like to know what other people think about him and his part in the story.

I teared up at the transformation (the second time I saw it) and I was crying for the rest of the movie after the confession, especially the point where Denahi nearly killed Kenai. I was actually not sure about how it would end the first time I saw it, and I considered Denahi actually finishing off Kenai as a possibility. So I was like "NOOOO, KENAI! D:"... The end made me smile though. Now I can't of any other way to end this amazing movie.
