In the winter of his life, Grandfather embarks on a somewhat mystical journey to the fabled Great Bear Ridge to search for a polar bear refuge to ease his old heart. Seems he has always disliked seeing polar bears in captivity, but forever believed himself too young or too old to do anything about it--until now. Based on the children's story by Harry Horse, this animated version of The Last Polar Bears captivates from the moment "Dear Child" appears over the opening scene in which the smiling Grandfather and his canine compatriot Roo sail to the Arctic aboard their rather weathered boat. Gentle music accompanies the equally supple voice of Nigel Hawthorne (Oscar nominee from The Madness of King George) who, as Grandfather, tells this story through narrated letters to his grandchild. It's a tough journey--lasting well beyond the "32nd of October"--but one touched by many moments of joy and humor. Crisp, detailed characters (mostly animals) are set against dreamy watercolor backgrounds. The emotion and wonder of the 30-minute film's beautiful ending will surely touch young (starting at age 4) and young-at-heart-viewers in a lasting way. --Liane Thomas
