      But then how could they make fun of how completely ridiculous Scots sounds how unintelligible the Scottish are if they make a full dub of it?

              I'm going to ignore the rest of what you said and mention this. A lot of people don't know this, but there is more than one type of Scottish accent. They just put the Glaswegian one in everything because its the most obvious.

                What I'm saying is the Glaswegian (Glasgow) accent is the accent used (either genuinely or a really bad impression) for pretty much every Cinemaphile Scot, but there are other Scottish accents, some which are more subtle even.

      I also fricking enjoy this movie, mostly due to the beautiful setting and animation. I admit the storyline is not as strong as it could be, but the humor and whimsy is enough to keep you interested and the story is overall inoffensive.

    I like Brother Bear but we didn't need Brother Bear II and this movie most certainly didn't need to be Mother Bear. Like Doug put it, this could've been a Miyazaki inspired film about a scottish princess running through cool landscapes, and they fricking blew it. We all know why though, the change in director and all. But I highly doubt the movie ever was what people wanted it to be.

    The story just wasn't very good. I remember people were genuinely stoked for some high-fantasy kino (which IIRC is what was originally planned before the writer got sacked) and all we got was yet another "Hur dur my mom doesn't understand me" snoozefest.

      You actually got it backwards. The mother daughter relationship stuff was always the main point while the Evil Bear Mordu stuff was something the replacement director brought in.
      There was still greater consequences for the kingdom when Merida turned her mom into a bear, but because that plot thread involved an unseasonable winter and this was being made while Disney was developing Frozen, it got scrapped for redundancy and saving on effects budget.
