Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bear Story (Historia de un oso) is a 2014 animated short film from Chile, directed by Gabriel Osorio Vargas.A bear lives alone in a melancholy little apartment. Pictures and scattered knick-knacks make it clear that the bear once lived with a wife and son but the bear's family is no longer present. The bear is making a living by carving an intricate clockwork puppet diorama, which he displays on street corners. A child pays to watch his puppet show, which shows the tragic story of how the bear was separated from his family.This short film is notorious for winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, the first Latin American animated work to win an Oscar and the first Academy Award period for Chile.

Allegory: The whole cartoon is an allegory for how families were separated from each other by the kidnappings and disappearances perpetrated in Chile by the dictatorial regime of Augusto Pinochet. The bear is inspired by the story of the director's grandfather, who was snatched away from his family and eventually exiled.

The Faceless: The faces of the mooks from the circus that kidnap the animals are never shown. Only their glowing eyes.

Lighter and Softer: In-Universe. In the bear's puppet show, the bear is embraced by his wife and son inside their apartment. As the opening of the cartoon makes clear, the bear did not find his family and is living alone.

Happy Ending: The bear comes to his house to find his family hidden and alive as well. This only happens in the bear's tale told in the puppet show; real life is another story.
