You can view both
the original film and the Sequel on YouTube.
Brown Bear's Wedding exhibits the following tropes:
- Fruit Cart: Brown Bear ploughs through two stacks of (apparently empty) boxes, kicks away the only thing keeping a fruit stand up and runs straight through a pyramid of apples that was oddly placed directly in the middle of the street.
- Furry Confusion: The fish in the beginning. Made more confusing and disturbing by how easily they forgive the bear for trying to kill them.
- The Klutz: Brown Bear, so much that he borders being a Cute Clumsy Boy.
- Love Makes You Crazy: Played with by the owl ("I think you've either got a high fever, or you're in love.").
- Naïve Newcomer: Brown Bear with regards to women. Happily, he has his friend Owl, self-proclaimed expert.
- The Owl-Knowing One: Subverted: Owl is actually a moron.
- Prince Charming: What Owl advises Brown Bear to be when wooing.
