We're Going on a Bear Hunt

A great adaptation that added deep layers to a simple story.

This delicate British animated short film, 24 minutes long, premiered during the 2016 holiday season and still retains its charm. Its visual style is unmistakable: the landscapes and characters immediately evoke the classic *The Snowman*, with a refined, serene, and deeply evocative aesthetic.

The story is simple yet effective-ideal for children and also for adults who wish to reconnect with their childhood. With a gentle and poetic approach, this little gem manages to move viewers without relying on artifice. It is a charming, tender, and visually delightful piece, perfect for sharing with family and getting carried away by its melancholic beauty.

I remember this children's story book, When I was in primary school and I like it, The Hand-Drawn Animated adaptation of the story did captured the illustrations very well, the music score, the voice acting and it captured the story book's spirit very well, It is very faithful to the book, It is about the teenage boy and his younger siblings are going on a bear hunt, But when the family saw the bear, They will go back home very safely, It is very good story for children for all generations from the 1990's to the present time, It is very Charming and very Delightful, I'm giving this adaptation of the story book a 9/10 and Merry Christmas.

I am amazed by the nature, simplicity, sweetness, and all this reminds me of childhood, vacations, enjoyment in nature. Also the ability to be friend with bear looks like one of typical fairy tales or dreams. But the title and movie are looking so naive and dangerous. Makes no logic or sense that anybody, especially kids will go on bear hunt, and get scared and not even trying to hunt it then. Looks like bad example of sarcasm. Not as magical as better cartoon like The Snowman and the Snowdog (2012).

The music in this film is lovely, the animation is beautiful, the theme is deep and real. For anyone who has ever dealt with loss, this film resonates in a beautiful way. My three year old asks to watch this with me over and over, and loves it.
