Copyright Bear Hunt Films MMXVI. DVD: ITUNES: Five children and their dog go out to hunt a bear. They travel through grass, a river, mud, a forest and a snowstorm before coming face to face with a bear in its cave. This meeting causes panic and the family run home, across all the obstacles, followed by the bear. Finally, the children lock the bear out of the house and all hide under the duvet saying “We're not going on a bear hunt again.“ We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one.
