'BEAR STORY': Four Stars (Out of Five)

A beautiful 11 minute Chilean animated short film; about an elderly (lonely) bear, that tells his life story, to others, through a magical mechanical diorama. In this short, a young cub, gets to witness his epic journey. The Oscar nominated short, was directed by Gabriel Osorio Vargas; and it was written by Vargas and Daniel Castro. The animation is breathtaking to watch, and the story is heartbreaking; and yet, it's also beautifully touching (especially at the end). Talk about oversharing though, that's what this short film is all about; and that's what makes it so memorable (and moving). I really enjoyed it.
