Bear's Day (The Day of the Bear)

"Bear's Day (The Day of the Bear)" I believe was actually based on a children's storybook (Which makes sense considering its narration style), it was animated by Oksana Kholodova from Russia and was a mixture of 2D computer animation and painting on glass. While the story felt slow and drawn out at times, it was at least still somewhat interesting enough for most to follow (If they were awake enough). 

To most adults, Lisa probably comes of as a rather obnoxious character, even compared to the more antagonistic characters such as the animals that bully her (In a way, she deserves it, really) when she enters the forest in search of food, but I suppose that's how most young characters are portrayed in children books and animations... They are meant to be curious, a little disobedient and daring before they are able learn any sort of lesson in the story (Also, was it coincidence that she sounds like a russian version of Lisa Simpson?).

Art style wise, I suppose it has an appealing enough look, despite how its warm coloured palette made the overall animation rather sleepy and relaxing looking. The paint on glass texture was a pretty nice touch to the otherwise flatly coloured animation, enhancing the nature setting of the story. The character designs could have been a little cuter, especially when it comes to the animals, I honestly thought that this was going to be a "Ren and Stimpy-ish" sort of cartoon when I had first seen the rabbit on the preview page (That thing looks like its on crack).
