I LOST MY BEAR

Animation
What do you do when your favorite toy disappears and no one will help you find it? This spunky detective learns that if you keep searching, you may find more than you expected.


CAST & CREDITS

Directed by Gene Deitch

Animator, director and producer Gene Deitch has been creating animated films for more than 40 years. Among his many animated creations was the influential Tom Terrific series that played on the Captain Kangaroo children's TV show. Five of his films have been nominated for Academy Awards. And his movie Munro, with story, dialog, and storyboard by Jules Feiffer, won the Oscar® for best animated short film, though, as Deitch wryly notes, the short film's financial backer entered the film under his own name and was the one to whom the Oscar® was actually inscribed. "That's show biz, folks!" says Deitch, who is widely regarded as one of the great animators working today. He currently lives in Prague.
