If it was a real bear, wouldn't the plastic chair collapse under his weight?

Potterfan....no, not really. Would love you to be able to tell me with some sincerity that it's a spoof. :o(

Films like Titantic which spent millions on cgi yet still look unreal, but this is filmed on a video camera and looks real enough to me, the shadows, the wobbly chair when it sits on it, can't see how you think it's fake

I was hoping someone would agree with me that the chair would just collapse when the poor thing tried to sit on it, but I don't know how much weight those chairs would take before that happened. Perhaps they are stronger than I thought.

And the bear doesn't look particularly well fed.

It looks to me. You can only do so much with script.

The bear is real for sure! and also appears to be enjoying its self.
What you don't see is all the pain and suffering it endured to train it.
Shame on those involved in this.

One day the bear is going to remember that he is much bigger and stronger than the man and, hopefully, he will get his revenge for any cruelty involved in its training.

I wouldn't believe that's a real bear for a second! It does forward rolls the same way I do.

I hope it is. I did think the hula hoop-ing (?) looked suspicious.

Sorry, just read my last comment back ... it was in response to Anne's comment about it being a lady in a bear suit.

It runs like a bear when called; no man or men in a bear costume could run like that; but it's possible to manipulate film to have someone, or a bear, do the beginning and end of some action and then a computer generate the intervening actions. That's possibly an explanation of the complete hula-hoop sequence.

Ah yes, thanks for that, Fred. And thanks to everyone else for their replies too.
