I was ready to give this silent film a score of 10....something I rarely do. But the ending was so awful and traumatic it undoes so much of the good.
The story is a retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. What made it so marvelous was that it was live action, so they created the most adorable bear costumes with clothing and sets. So, when you see these bears, you fall in love with them. And, you root for these wonderful bears. But here's where the trauma comes into it. When Goldilocks awakens and sees the bears, she runs away....meeting a guy with a gun who shoots Mama and Papa Bear...and they take Baby Bear prisoner!!!!! So, it goes from heartwarmingly cute to heartbreaking! What were they thinking?!
