Odd. Because even though I generally enjoyed the special effects in the GC, I thought the bears were, sadly, very un-bearlike in a way. Their faces were too long and there was something else wrong in their appearance as well - oh yes, they had too long legs. And they did not move like bears do. Close to it, but not close enough to appear believable.
