Description

This animated film is an anti-Communist allegory that tells the story of a dangerous bear — meant to represent Russia — that escapes from his keeper and encounters a group of children, several of whom he eventually eats. The remaining children (i.e., Southeast Asian countries) are able to join together and turn the bear away. The film was animated by Payut Ngaokrachang for the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO).
