11,000 Drawings, 3 Years, 1 Man

My good friend Aaron Blaise has just released his short film, SNOW BEAR. After a wildly successful festival run, next up is The Oscars. You can see it here for free. https://youtu.be/xOXolSQcEb4?si=_fwkeuh9PF7A0YxU

Wow! There's that true Disney magic we've been missing for so many years. That was simply wonderful. Congratulations on all its achievements, and fingers crossed for the Oscars. I remember seeing an advertisement for this project online. I was hoping it would get submitted to the festival I was working at, so I could see it. Worth the wait! Thanks for sharing, Laurie Ashbourne !

Heart and soul = an artistic masterpiece. Everything from the choice of color palette to story is thoughtfully and painstakingly chosen. Dare I say, this piece is better than Disney...?

Michael Kelly

Outstanding. I follow Aaron on youtube. I think his work is amazing.Thank you for posting.

This was a beautiful animation. 0:58 seconds in and I was already moved. Dustin Richardson couldn't have said it better, the Disney magic that we've been missing for years.

Bob Harper

Aaron is an animation dynamo. He is keeping the torch of hand-drawn animation burning!

Maurice Vaughan

SNOW BEAR is phenomenal, Laurie Ashbourne! Thanks for sharing the film. It reminds me of 2D animated movies I watched growing up. What stood out most about the film is how Aaron used facial expressions, action, and objects to tell the story.
