Melissa Etheridge contributed three songs to the movie. In the movie, the adventures of [[bear]] [[brother]]s Kenai and Koda continue. While the first movie dealt with Kenai's relationship with Koda, this one focuses more on his bond with a young [[human]] of his past, Nita. Only five of the original characters return for the sequel (excluding Denahi): Kenai, Koda, Rutt, Tuke, and Tug, as Jason Raize died on February 3, 2005. Only four of those actors came back to do their original roles: Jeremy Suarez, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, and Michael Clarke Duncan. Producer Jim Ballantine was removed from the project and replaced with Carolyn Bates. [[Jason Marsden]], as heard in the first trailer, was originally announced to voice Kenai, after being voiced by [[Joaquin Phoenix]] in the first film; Patrick Dempsey ultimately voiced the character. However, the end credits still note Marsden as one of the additional voices. ==Voice cast== * [[Patrick Dempsey]] as Kenai * [[Mandy Moore]]
