Man is a great blunderer going about in the woods, and there is no other except the bear makes so much noise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The bear is what we all wrestle with. Everybody has their bear in life. It's about conquering that bear and letting him go.
There's what we expect bears to do and then there's what they do. Sometimes the two don't match.
In 'Over the Hedge,' I played a bear, and I spent all this time listening to the sounds they make when they fight and mate, when they're angry or happy.
The great advantage of having a bear as a central character is that he can combine the innocence of a child with the sophistication of an adult.
Man is nature's sole mistake.
Man is the creature of circumstances.
Man has done a lot to make himself dangerous and animals get the worst of all of it. But then, man too is an animal.
I am a gummy bear fanatic.
Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth.
Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear.
