If you're looking for the perfect original but nostalgic festive animation, this may be it. The veteran Disney animator Aaron Blaise has made his film Snow Bear available to watch for free on YouTube, and it's moving people to tears.
Three years in the making, the short film is a personal solo project from an animator who helped create Disney renaissance blockbusters like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Pocahontas. With a powerful story, beautiful hand-drawn art and classic Disney animation principles, it's revealing a deep yearning for the traditional animation many people remember from their childhoods.
