Set in the late 1800s in British Columbia, "The Bear" lets us in on the misadventures of a bouncing baby bear (played mainly by a cub called Youk) and his big buddy (Bart the Bear). Due to a freak accident, the bear is orphaned as a tiny little thing; not knowing what else to do, he stays with the body of his mother until hunger gets the better of him and he must go in search of food. Before long he meets the old and wise Kodiak male who will become his friend, teacher and protector. This is a beautifully and poignantly told tale, without the need for words.
The shots of the scenery of British Columbia are outstanding.
