The gorgeous, wrenching “Bear Story” demands a view after its win on Sunday for Best Animated Short.
Luckily, readers of TheWrap have been up onย Gabriel Osorio’s movie since it swept the Jury and Audience awards at the 2015 ShortList Film Festival. The film is currently part of ShortsHD’s theatrical program of all the Oscar-nominated shorts, and its trailer is available here.
The short tells of a lonesome bear who builds an elaborate mechanical diorama in an attempt to remember (and perhaps recover) the life he used to live with his wife and son before he was ripped from his home and sent to a circus.
