Product Description

Here’s a delightful animated film based on the popular children’s book about a young girl named Tilly who visits the zoo and accidentally drops her teddy bear into the bear exhibit. That night, Tilly cries herself to sleep, only to wake and find a huge polar bear standing before her ... as he gently presents her with her beloved teddy bear.

So begins a magical friendship with humorous complications -- primarily, how does Tilly keep such an outsized pet hidden from her parents? But another visitation changes Tilly’s life again when the Bear hears the call of the wild from the Spirit of The Great Bear Constellation in the sky. The two companions embark on an extraordinary Christmas adventure as the Bear seeks to find his true place in life. This heartwarming, beautifully rendered tale from the creators of THE SNOWMAN brings home to children a message of love, friendship, and giving.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bear 8 Jan 2011
A delightful and moving story that will be a favourite with all ages of the family (from 18 months-my youngest to grandma at 67 years old!). The animation is beautiful (along the same lines as the snowman)and is set to enchanting music (a young Charlotte Church). I have also brought this film for lots of other children and it has always been well received. The price makes it a real bargain and a winner each Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars From The Snowman to The Bear 16 Feb 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
The story really began in 1978 with Raymond Briggs' wonderful book 'The Snowman'.

The nation then embraced 'The Snowman' animated film back in 1982.
It has become the definitive christmas classic ever since with nothing to distract you...

Until 1999; When 'The Bear' was released.

This utterly captivating film uses the same 'coloured pencil' type of animation, once again to amazing effect!

This time the story tells of a little girl and her magical friendship with a Polar Bear. With even more amazing special animation effects, this film takes us further than before.

Absolutely heartwarming, with a powerful score. An amazing song voiced by the (Then) young Charoltte Church.

Another christmas classic then?
Absolutely!!!
