Bear Story (Spanish: Historia de un oso) is a 2014 Chilean animated short film, directed by Gabriel Osorio Vargas. The screenplay was co-written with Daniel Castro, and the film was produced by Pato Escala Pierart. The story is inspired by the director's grandfather, Leopoldo Osorio, who was imprisoned for two years after the Chilean coup d'état and then forced into exile for the duration of the dictatorship. The film was a critical success, winning the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film at the 88th Academy Awards.
It is the first Chilean film to win an Academy Award and also the first Latin American animation to win or be nominated for an Oscar.
Bear Story can be viewed fully, under its original Spanish title of Historia de un oso, on Punkrobot Studio's official YouTube channel.
