Review:
Several bears: Jacobi (Claudius), Blessed
(Ghost of Hamlet's father), Spall (Rosencranz),
among a cast of stars, some who sport beards
for their roles (Brannagh, Robin Williams, etc.)

Review:
Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Shakespeare's
"Henry V" features the EXTREMELY woofy Brian
Blessed as the Duke of Exeter. Watching this man
stroll into the court of the king of France
dressed in full body armour will quicken the
pulse of any bear! The movie is great also, and
it's what high school students ought to be
watching rather than poring over blocks of
flowery Shakespearean text.

Review:
Fun communal bathing scene at the beginning of the movie.
There are other bears than just Blessed (Antonio),
Yuill (Friar Francis), and Horan (Borachio), but
that's a good start!

Review:
Yet another Shakespeare movie with great
eye candy!
Othello (Laurence Fishburne) wears a lovely
goatee that
goes so well with his big musclebear-ish
build, and i'll be
damned if Iago (Kenneth Branagh) isn't one
helluva cute
cub....*sigh* it's always the con men and
murderers, eh? i
remember watching this in my high school
english class and
practically swooning during Iago's "put
money in thy
purse!" speech...my god, he's gorge!
