Polar Bear King Review

If you like fairy tales, Christmas films and the best graphics ever, then Polar Bear King might be for you.

This is providing you’ve got a good sense of humour and you’re ready for some utter cringe.

It’s basically your typical fairy tale gone wrong. There’s a princess, a king, and a deranged witch (more of cougar in this case), who is determined to make the king’s life hell because he doesn’t want to marry her. But being a bit of a hipster cougar witch, she decides that instead of turning him into the ‘oh so mainstream’ frog, she’ll make him into a polar bear instead.

But if this seems weird, you’ve seen nothing yet.

Whilst the king is from Summer Land, the princess spends day after day in Winter Land (it’s so original it brings tears to our eyes…) dreaming lustfully of finding her prince whilst her dad talks to crows.

Her dreams come true when the king, who’s now a polar bear, randomly turns up when she’s chilling in the snow one day.

Instead of getting scared, she talks to him and instantly falls in love after discovering the truth. You could call it destiny or love at first sight (or bestiality?) Either way, it’s utterly creepy and the plot moves far too fast. A few minutes later, he basically proposes.

Sadly,  she can’t marry him until the cougar’s spell breaks, which apparently takes a very long time…

To quote the synopsis – ‘will they live happily ever after, or will the jealous witch ruin their plans?’

You’ll have to watch this wonderful, Oscar deserving epic to find out!
