Family-Unfriendly Violence | |
| The Bear (1988) / int_647ce68 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Violence: While a majority of the violence is offscreen, the film tends to get quite gruesome despite its PG rating, showing off mangled horses and a particularly violent battle between Kaar and the hunter's dogs. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| The Bear (1988) / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: While the friendship between the bear cub and adult bear is fictional (that the makers know of), the part where the hunter is confronted by the adult bear only for the bear to eventually turn and walk away is apparently based on a real experience of the original novel's author, James Curwood. Curwood had been an adamant bear hunter until he one day misplaced his rifle on a hunt and got confronted by a bear, but for reasons he never understood, the bear let him live. The event affected Curwood so much, he stopped being a hunter and became a supporter of wildlife conservation instead. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: After losing his mother, and spending the whole movie running from the hunters (plus one cougar), Youk is reunited with Kaar. They find a small cave and hunker down to hibernate as winter sets in, and they'll live to fight another day. | |
