Recently, the American Ringling Circus, known as "the greatest show on earth", held a curtain call. Some believe the reason is that many animal rights groups have been pressuring circuses to consider forcing animals to perform as cruelty. In addition to this news, there have also been previous reports of domestic circus cruelty to animals, which reminded me of this Chilean 10-minute short film "The Bear's Tale." The elderly Mr. Xiong repairs the music box alone every morning. After dawn, he rushes to the street to tell his story to the passing children with a diorama projector. There is a happy past for a family of three, the tragic experience of being forcibly taken away by the circus with the neighbors and forced to perform, the courage to use the performance to escape successfully, the hope of traveling back home, the sadness of someone going to the empty building, There is hope for family reunion... This short film has no dialogue, some are just animation and machinery, but it makes people feel very amazing, simple and sincere.
