The first part of this short is a nice adaptation of the fairy tale about Goldilock visiting the house of the the 3 bears when they are not home. They have added a sequence where Goldilock peeks into a room in the house, and sees some quite impressive acrobatics done by a group of teddy bears. The stop motion animation here is nice and smooth, including sequences where the bears jump through the air.
The story continues as it does in the fairy tale, up until the end, where Theodore Roosevelt is involved. Modern audiences might not recognize the character, but this movie was made not long after the bear hunting incident, which gave birth to the "Teddy bear" toy. The turn in the end is quite brutal, and might that the fun away from the movie for younger children. It might open up for some good discussions though. Maybe about the relationship between people and nature? The costumes and sets were all quite nice.
