The title says it all really. We’re thinking a runner with those legs.

Talent Scout #5 - Scare Bears
January 31, 2008
Whilst Jaune has been putting together a short horror film for the first episode of Bear and Beyond, he has been looking around for some inspiring bears. The sort of bears that evoke a sinister, hideous, terrifying quality. Here’s what he came up with.
Firstly, a few runner ups for their notable freaky features. For sleepless nights these two evoke horror more directly than most bears you’ll meet. Sleepless nights aplenty.

Then there’s the weird hybrid skull faced bear, who doesn’t appear to have a body. Maybe he levitates? Or maybe his body is already out fetching victims?! Plus this crossed eyed, haunting bear - with an aura of evil about her. That fixed smile is the first sign of a satisfied, deranged killer.

Now onto the favourites. [click for larger pictures]
In third place - “That’s right, I’m watching you!” You can see the fur balding on his face, probably from being pressed up against countless windows. Picking out the hapless candidates for a slow, humiliating dismemberment. Such a cold, glassy stare. And no doubt never without a case of surgical instruments. You won’t see him coming until it’s too late.
Second place. Are you ready for some hicksploitation - bear style. Wouldn’t want to take a wrong turn to this ones corrugated shack. He might look slow, but he’ll catch you off guard, and have you bound up in the back of a pick-up in no time. It’s alright though, his Mama told him to do it. Raised him well, she did.
And the winner is this small faced, rodeo loving, killer. A charmer in his youth. Now a brutal psychotic torturer. Life is a game, and other people are their to be played with. No rules. No limits. He’ll kiss you as he guts you. Beware.
As always, if you know any of these bears, get in touch. Fame awaits.

Talent Scout #3 - OMG TEDDY!
June 28, 2007

That’s what we call a bear! He’s enormous. I’d love to see an arial shot. With stature like that the career potential is endless. Sod King Kong. Although there is a slight fear about the cordoned off area and signpost that makes us wonder if this bear is actually dead!? The scene of an ongoing murder investigation?! Hopefully it’s just behind the scenes pictures of his next coming feature - maybe… Spiderman vs The Sandbear.
As always, send more info if you have it.
Talent Scout #2 Jedi Peng
March 30, 2007
Our hunt for new and furry talent continues. We’ve been scouring sites and images across the net and found this.

He’s a peng were really interested in seeing, and finding out just what sort of prowess he can muster with that light saber. There’s a definite hypnotic glare in the eyes - perhaps a little Bela Lugosi deep within him. Would that make him another Count Jedi?
If anyone has the answers, or knows how to make contact, or are you that penguin? Please get in touch.

We’re always on the lookout for new Bear talent, and our search has led us to this picture.

There has been some debate and concern as to whether this polar bear is a performer or being exploited! Is this human female a bear trafficker? Should we reveal her face? We’re appealing to our audience for any further information.
If it is a genuine performance then it’s clear this bear must have a charm all of his own. We’re not looking for anything quite so risqué, but do get in touch with us if you see this. Either you or your agent; is that your agent on top?
