What Every Disney Bear Taught Us in Honor of Bear Necessities Month

Though Disney has enhanced our lives for the better, we love to crap on them for all the dissonance it's created between us and reality. It's given us so much to ponder while teaching us the more disappointing lessons in life. For instance, befriending raccoons isn't as easy as Pocahontas makes it seem. A meerkat and warthog will not cheer us up when our mood meets an all-time low. And no amount of chirping sparrows will help you get dressed in the morning, no matter how much bird feed you leave in that feeder. However, Disney did showcase a whole lotta of bears in their movies, so in honor of Bear Necessities Month, I'm here to reap the positive lessons from each and every one.
