The Bear [DVD]

Thanks

Very good quality

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 effects animation, 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!!!

Absolutely beautiful movie at such a great price! For someone who loves the snowman/ The snowman and the snow dog this is one to add to the collection. I hadn't seen it until this year and loved the art and style of it throughout the whole movie. My whole family watched it (myself being the youngest at 21) and they all enjoyed it - it's definitely not just for children and can be loved by all!

I bought this for a group of Primary School children to watch. As there is no dialogue they have to watch the story unfold with just the musical score. It is beautifully illustrated and kept the childrens attention right through to the end. It is very magical and good for the childrens imagination. I bought the book as well which we went through in class about the story and the children added their own comments and asked questions. It is just a beautiful fantasy story with a few laughs...and tears.

This is a great movie which is really difficult to get hold of, this copy arrived in perfect condition and was great value.

Another beautiful classic. I have always loved 'The Snowman' and this tale has a similar theme in that there is charm, humour, sadness and a moral background. I think I still prefer the Snowman, but don't miss this one out as it is well worthwhile.This is a tale of a boy and a bear. It starts with the boy visiting a zoo and dropping his favourite teddy bear into the polar bear's pit. He is so upset, and isn't comforted by any other toy substitute.That night, while sleeping, he is visited by a Polar bear in his bedroom, who takes him into adventures. It is a lovely story and one which many children will grow up with and pass onto the next generation. I bought the book as well, so that the story can also be read as I don't believe in just suitting in front of the TV.

If you and/or your kids liked The Snowman and/or Father Chrishmas, then you'll love this.A young girl visits the zoo with her mum and dad, but accidentally drops her teddy into the polar bears pit. That night, the girl cries herself to sleep, only to wake and find a huge polar bear standing over herhe's come to return her precious teddy.excellent dvd, buy it if you have the others and if you haven't, buy them ALL
