A polar bear runs around the arctic, looking for friends. After a few failures, he finds.. something of a friend.

Aaron is a long time vet of Disney animation. Working on many of the 90s films, and directing Brother Bear. He's a specialist in animal animation, which shines in this piece. Using old, detailed anim techniques.

So, I just came across this, it was drawn by the same artist who worked on "The Beauty and the Beast", "The Lion King", "Brother Bear" and many other old style Disney movies.
Take a break for 10 minutes to forget all that has gone wrong with your day and watch this little piece of magic - and maybe even feel some childhood nostalgia.

I recommend watching Snow Bear on the biggest screen you can.

Been really curious about "Snow Bear" ever since I caught a glimpse of it several months ago. It's an 11-minute animated short, that is basically the independent passion project of former Disney animator Aaron Blaise, and I'm really glad that I got the chance to finally watch it as it's now officially released for free on YouTube after several limited film festival screenings.

The film is entirely hand-drawn in old school style 2D animation, and tells the story of a lonely polar bear who creates a companion out of snow so he has someone like himself to spend time with. It's a tender story with a clear message about climate change, its effect on different species, and the effort that needs to be made in order to prevent the worse. It's also a moving story about loneliness and hope, that ends with an optimistic note, staying true to its "you don't have to be alone" tagline.
