Heartwarming Animated Christmas Short - THE BEAR & THE HARE

View fullsize

For those of you who are celebrating Christmas today... Merry Christmas! We've got a beautifully animated short film for you to watch called The Bear & The Hare, which is quite heartwarming. It also includes a rendition of the song "Somewhere Only We Know" sung by Lily Allen.

There once was an animal who had never seen Christmas. As autumn winds turn to winter snow, the bear begins his annual retreat into hibernation to sleep his way through the best part of the year. The festive spirit is strong though, and his friend the hare is determined to give him a gift he has never received before – Christmas.

The short was created for the John Lewis Christmas campaign, which "has become a symbol of the start of the British Christmas season." It was created by Elliot Dear and Yves Geleyn, and I hope you enjoy it.
