Aaron Blaise's Homemade Animated Short 'Snow Bear' Official Trailer

"You don't have to be alone." There's a trailer available for a lovely new animated short film called Snow Bear, made by animation veteran Aaron Blaise as his own personal project. The short recently premiered at a film festival in The Netherlands and will eventually be released online this year - hopefully not too long of a wait. Blaise worked as an animation supervisor for Disney for decades, including on films like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Mulan, and many others. He also directed the animated feature film Brother Bear in 2006 but then moved on from Disney movies and Hollywood work.
