Interesting for any fans of Stephen Colbert - according to a 2006 interview (the Harvard one http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5550134133036374310) THIS movie is what inspired his fear of bears. He doesn't mention it by name, but describes it pretty accurately and it came out at about the right time. He was born in 1964, so would have been 7 when Man in the Wilderness came out.

Interesting post. I know I would be afraid of all bears despite the cuteness of Yogi, Pooh and Paddington.

That's really interesting. Who could blame him for having a fear of bears to be honest? Bears are unpredictable, extremely strong, and very dangerous.
