The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Bear

(2002)Directed by Jannik Hastrup75 minAdventure, Animation, Family

Bears carry a human boy off and raise him as one of their own, while his parents set out to hunt them down in grief. Jannik Hastrup follows the child as he grows up between the two worlds, with Marlon Vilstrup and Joachim Boje Helvang voicing him at different ages.
