The Bear & The Hare
10 years ago by
My childhood dream was to make cartoons.
At the time, I didn’t realize what an immense amount of work was involved, but I used to imagine myself drawing little creatures and bringing them to life.
I still have a passion for animation today, whether it’s computer animation like Kung Fu Panda or Miyazaki’s manga.
The little film you’re about to see is the making of an animation that I actually haven’t seen – but it’s so well done that it made me want to cry.
So, go ahead! 2 minutes and 23 seconds of happiness!!!

C’est incroyable, je n’aurais jamais pensé qu’il fallait des éléments “réels” pour créer un dessin animée. C’est magique, merci.

C’est tiré du clip de Lily Allen et de sa reprise de Keane, non ? Je l’ai trouvé trop beau, émouvant ce clip !
Superbe !!!!!!
more information, just in case ;) :
this magical little piece of art is directed by http://www.yvesgeleyn.com and http://www.elliotdear.net, and is produced by http://www.hornetinc.com
C’était très beau…Merci!
Moi aussi j’ai failli pleurer, c’est tellement beau ce qu’ils font. On ne s’imagine pas tout le travail qu’il y a derrière, toute cette minutie. Je pense qu’on est touché parce que cela nous rappelle notre enfance et que la beauté d’un dessin animé ne peut être contestable. J’adore les animaux dans les dessins animés surtout les ours, je les trouve majestueux.
Merci pour cette super découverte Garance.
I loved this advert since the first time I saw it before Christmas. It was incredibly well done. :)
It was an ad for John lewis in the uk, here it is:

oh my gosh this advert made me cry every single time it was on over Christmas!
I love animation…my friend went to art college and I was at one of the yearly exhibitions and some of the artwork that other students had done was incredible…just wish i could draw :(
Thank you so much for sharing this, so so beautiful!!! xx
Miyazaki does anime (ie animated films) not comics/manga.
Wahou!!!! Garance tu m’as fait découvrir un boulot que je ne connaissais pas… Faire les décors pour les dessins animés! J’adoooore!!!!! J’ai trop envie d’aller fabriquer de beaux décors avec eux.

Lovely.
C’est un travail très dur, rarement évalué à sa juste valeur.
C’est sublime! Pfiou, les larmes aux yeux. Je voulais faire des dessins animés moi aussi…
Merci Garance, pour ce joli matin plein de magie *
Pour info, le petit dessin animé dure 2 minutes et est visible ici, ça vaut le coup d’oeil :) http://vimeo.com/78740926

Très jolie vidéo! Je savais que c’était du travail mais pas à ce point.
Le dessin animé est encore plus classe!!! Comment vous ne l’avez pas vu?
Voici le film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqWig2WARb0
The John Lewis Christmas adverts have become synonymous with the run up to Christmas in the UK – the bear and the hare, is one of my favourite to date.

Oh woah ! C’est poétique, c’est doux et mélancolique, j’adore !
Merci pour avoir partagé cette jolie vidéo Garance !
C’est superbe ! Merci :)
waouh, le job de rêve! Magnifique, merci!
Aline
That is amazing!
Cool and sweet! I love it
On fait encore des maquettes? on dessine encore à la main? C’est génial! J’étais sûre que tout se faisait sur ordi aujourd’hui…
Waouu c’est tellement cool, tellement beau!
A ma petite petite échelle, voici ce que j’ai réussi à faire: https://vimeo.com/83925753
100% home made, 100% made with my <3.
Je l’ai vu dans une émission l’autre fois, peut être aux infos je ne sais plus… j’en avais limite les larmes aux yeux tellement c’est beau ! et en 2’30 on se rend bien compte de la complexité et du nombre d’heures passées sur chaque dessin, chaque plan… un travail de dingue ! <3
What a magical video! Thanks for sharing Garance.
Incroyable! Le boulot de dingue que ça représente! Miyazaki est un maitre! tous ces films sont magiques avec un message fort. Bonne fin de we
With the craft and care the artists took to make this, plus the sweet music, no wonder you wanted to cry. I felt a tug there too. Technology working in tandem with old school techniques is amazing. One day you will share with us your own animated short. How exciting that will be.
I too went totally Wahou!!! watching this. Thank you for sharing.
It’s a beautiful ad, you must watch it! I live in London, where John Lewis is based so they were showing it on TV during Christmas. Hadn’t watch the making of and I can’t believe it was all made for real!!
Extraordinaire . Merci . C’est très émouvant . Quel travail minutieux .
C’est beau, tellement beau un homme qui travaille avec passion. Pourquoi notre société ne permet-elle pas à tous, du moins tous ceux qui le souhaitent, de vivre de leur passion? Pourquoi beaucoup de gens ne sont-ils pas à leur place dans leur travail? A quoi cela sert-il les ressources humaines et tout leur bla-bla-bla?
That’s ammmmmmmaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzing! wow! Thanks for sharing :)
For the last few years in November I’ve been avidly waiting for the Xmas John Lewis Stores commercial to come out so as to be able enjoy it, to cry overwhelmed with emotion and to share it with my friends (although they may not pay much attention to it…). It’s not only the delicious animation, or the beautiful story… it’s also the music.
For the bear and the hare, Xmas 2013, it is Lilly Allen singing Somewhere only we know by Keane
For the 2012 commercial, called The Journey, it was Gabrielle Aplin singing The power of love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood
This song sung by Gabrielle sounds unreal and sends chills down my spine!

And look a tthe 2011 Xmas commercial!!! Isn’t it just absolutely adorable??? :’) (it’s called For gifts to can’t wait to give)

Music for this one: Please please please by the Smiths, sung by Slow Moving Millie
So happy to see there is still an appreciation for hand-drawn animation. The artist wearing an orange hat towards the end is Aaron Blaise, an incredibly talented artist and one of Disney’s finest animators. Years ago I had the pleasure of working with him on the film “Brother Bear.” Aspiring animators will want to check out his current website:

Tout simplement génial !!
