Just curious how Bart the Bear was filmed in this since he died in 2000. The movie was made in 2005. Aside from all of that the movie was very heartwarming and the message was to let go and forgive and stop blaming everyone for your problems. It was enjoyable. Robert Redford did a great job as the grump! I do love how he loves animals too. And Morgan Freeman brings in the emotional side. Sweet film.
