Teddy Bear Pilot.

I love that they went to the trouble of rigging up his head and arms to move. It really sells the illusion that Mr. Buttons is actually flying his tiny, tiny plane.

That was surprisingly calming and peaceful.

Simple concept but extremely well done and very watchable.

Teddy Bear could have his own show. Flying his little plane around, and solving crimes and stuff.

Vronsky, if a pig can do it, why not a bear?

I'm guessing the sequel will have an entirely ursine flight crew:

Exit, pursered by a bear.

I kept expecting him to dive bomb an orphanage or a soft toys factory.

The Camp movie on this page is really just too much. Nice post.

Best use of smooth jazz I've ever seen.

Best Teddy Bear video ever. Sometimes it looks like someone in a pink bear costume flying the plane. Right? And the third time I watched it the bear started talking to me. Advize?

A photography flight is the work which is very difficult and is tiring. It seems to have flown happily the model helicopter and airplane which are hobbies for a visitor. However, it becomes the illness of the heart to perform a photography flight for an operator. There is no margin of the heart. It is the special effects controlled while imagining a view in the head.

I don't really want to make fun. In fact, I love that bit in the middle.

That might be the most amazing teddy-bear-flying-an-airplane video I've ever seen.

Man, when he was doing the loop-de-loops he was just, like, chill, and then spinning and diving, I almost tossed my cookies but he was all calm and cool.

He was like an iceman.

Awesome. Thanks.

I was about to click off the first link, when it occurred to me I'm watching a fake bear flying a fake plane, and then he started doing loops. What can I say? I'm a sucker for fighting gravity.
