Every day, a melancholy old bear takes a mechanical diorama that he has created out to his street corner. For a coin, passersby can look into the peephole of his invention, which tells the story of a circus bear who longs to escape and return to the family from which he was taken. Written by Jwelch5742
Historia de un oso (2014)
*** (out of 4)
Good animated short from Chilean filmmaker Gabriel Osorio Vargas about an elderly bear who tells his life story with the help of a mechanical diorama.
HISTORIA DE UN OSO, also known as BEAR STORY, was one of five animated shorts that received an Oscar nomination and it's easy to see why so many people have fallen in love with the film. I'm not going to say I loved it because I honestly didn't but I could see why so many people did. The animation itself isn't the greatest out there but for the most part I found the story to be quite touching and it's certainly a unique way to tell a story.
