Okay, so I’m rewatching _Brother Bear_\*\*, and the youngest brother has a bear totem for love, the eldest brother has an eagle totem for guidance, and the middle brother has a totem for wisdom. What is it? I’ve freeze-framed and zoomed on the opening scene of the DVD, and it kinda looks like an owl (as I might assume from most myths and legends), but it also looks kinda like a raccoon. I’d ask the animators, but corporate went and shut down the local animation department. :mad:

Anybody have a larger screen tv and/or better eyesight to see this?

\*\* and yes, I found _Nemo_: 3 frames when the mammoth tramples through the salmon net!
