The first ever Chilean movie to win an Oscar depicts a bear telling his story. Gabriel Osorio's "Historia de un oso" ("Bear Story" in English) has some ingenious animation - watch the scene where the bear sees the city disappear behind him - and a good story to accompany it. I interpreted the wordless short as a focus on human treatment of animals. I'd say that it deserved its Oscar win, and it confirms that Chile's film industry is turning out some good movies (Pablo Larraín's "No" was another). Not enough people get to see the smaller Oscar-winners, so I recommend checking this one out if you get a chance to do so. Very good cartoon.
