Funny Things are Funny

A Bear Film is a third year CalArts effort that looks like an animated version of a Lou Romano colorscript. It’s created—entirely in Photoshop believe it or not—by Kris Anka. The bear animation is cute and pleasing; the glaring misogyny isn’t (women in the film are depicted only as promiscuous girls or raging housewives). The latter might be attributed to the filmmaker’s youthful immaturity and shouldn’t outweigh the film’s positive points.

I completely agree with Cartoon Brew’s assessment of this film.  Love the animation and the soundtrack, wasn’t as keen on  the sexist undertones.  Not that I was super offended, but hasn’t the overbearing wife been done to death in cartoons?  I understand that it was supposed to be saying that everything in this guys life is awful other than the bear, but I think there were better ways to go about that with his wife, it was a tad over the top with the swearing and such.  Swearing NSFW
