Home with the Nine Little Bears was our ‘Pandemic Project’. My sister, Lynn Pickering wrote the script after a bedtime story that she has told several generations of kids and I designed, directed and animated the film over this past year. The purpose of a good bedtime story is to help children make peace with whatever day they have had and to feel the world is a good and safe place, before they drift into a needed sleep. We tried to make our story this kind of comforting place full of stability and innocent joy that children can inhabit for a while and return to with anticipation.
