The Beaver and The Bear

The Beaver and The Bear (French: Le Castor et Les Our) is a French-British animated short film.

Plot
Jeffer Jean-Claude is a beaver who is a famous singer of the "Mitona" band living with his wife Sophia Beaufort, although he puts his job first before his wife. One day, Monsieur Our, who is jealous about Jeffer's success, breaks into Jeffer's house while he was not home and kidnapped Sophia. When Jeffer came home, he found the note inside the drawer that tells him that Monsieur is holding Sophia hostage (along with a picture of her on Monsieur's plate bound and gagged) so he decided to go and save Sophia from Monsieur. Jeffer met Éric and Ramzy when they were both helping some squirrels gathering son acorns and met Dorotheé and Vanessa when their wing was injured until they reached Monsieur's cave and found Sophia on his plate and Monsieur was asleep. While he was still asleep, Jeffer, Éric, Ramzy, Vanessa and Dorothee rescued Sophia and escaped from the cave. Back home, Jeffer apologized to Sophia for not spending quality time with her and promise to put his family before his job.
