This is not to say that this makes the film any less successful, but in a similar way to Madagascar, this allows for a greater degree of irony in the comic construction of the story. ” Even at this juncture, Kenai still retains the idea that it is the bear who is the monster, and he is genuinely shocked by Koda’s observation. ” Though the film then lulls the family audience with an interlude in which Kenai joins a family of bears at a salmon run—and Phil Collins once again has a chance to spoil the occasion with the “Family Time” song—this comic revelry, largely at the expense of Kenai’s “difference” (“never hibernated, never sharpened his nails on bark”), is a prelude to the moment when he realizes he was responsible for killing Koda’s mother in the incident where Sitka died.
And] as a result, animality ceases to occupy a proper space apart from the humanity that succeeds, appropriates and enframes it” (Lippit 2000, 53). In challenging this entrenchment, by permitting animal “thought,” however differentiated or unknown, it allows an analogous position that at least draws humans and animals into a model which promotes enquiry and evaluation. Such a model resists hierarchies and merely sees difference, though inevitably this is complex. Bullock adds, 32 T H E A N I M AT E D B E S T I A RY “In the context of modernity, this returns us to animals as a very powerful source for the meaning of freedom, just as we can imagine that paleolithic cave paintings represented a liberating source of power to their creators.

At the representational level, it is clear that art has attempted to embrace all three aspects, and crucially, particularly in relation to the animated film, it has sought to potentially present these formations simultaneously, and mutually exclusively in any one text.
