* MoralEventHorizon: After Perry and Koontz kill Cubby's mother, Koontz then proceeds to ''taunt Cubby with his mother's pelt by waving it in front of his cage [[ForTheEvulz for fun]]''. He even jokes to Perry by saying "Shame to separate a mother and her child, isn't it?"

He even jokes to Perry by saying "Shame to separate a mother and her child, isn't it?" The Nostalgia Critic summed the scene up pretty perfectly in his review of the movie:
--> '''NC:''' Ok, that is ''beyond'' sick, man. That's fucking ''demented!''

MEH must be intentional. Redundant with UU which seems safer as Scrappy only applies to those who are fans of the work.


** For some, despite being the protagonist, Sean crosses it when he tells his dad he should've died instead of his Mom.
* TheScrappy: Sean. Despite losing his mother, him taking his anger on everyone including his own dad loses sympathy.

* FridgeHorror: Cubby was released back into the wild. Without someone to protect them, cubs usually have a very short lifespan in the rugged Alaskan wilderness. Especially without a MamaBear to guard them.

Not really "fridge" horror.


** Speaking of the mother bear, the scene where the poachers show the pelt with the head ''attached'' is pretty disturbing. It's even more disturbing when the poor cub is licking the muzzle while the poachers laugh at the scene.
** Not to mention the implication that they ''skinned the mother bear '''right in front of her cub.'''''



** Although it's definitely a case of MeanCharacterNiceActor, as Charlton Heston was a civil rights activist and all-around NiceGuy.

Removing because it's not explained how it is a MEH and is questionable enough as it is. See discussion here.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: SeanSean being upset [[MissingMom over his mom's death]] gives him a reason to feel sorry for him. But the way he takes his anger out on everyone and his overall, unpleasant and nasty personality ends up making him more of a whiny {{Jerkass}} instead. Even going as far as to wishing his own dad [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead that he should've died instead of his mom!]]
