Bears: IMAX (2001)

Documentary. With Beavers, this picturesque and respectful paean to the bears of the world is one of my two favorite IMAX films ever. The images and scenes of brown, black, and white bears at play and surviving in the wilds of Alaska teach us (in the words of Chief Dan George) we can only accept and live amongst those creatures we understand; those we fail to understand, we will try to destroy. In the words of Steve Fromholtz as sung by Lyle Lovett, "They just don't come no better than a bear." Five stars.
