6/10
Sweet tale about family and friendship

"Umka" is a Soviet 10-minute short film from 1969, so not too long anymore until it has its 50th anniversary. It has color and sound, but you may want to find a good set of subtitles unless you are fluent in Russian. The first half of the film is about Mother Polar Bear telling her child an important lesson and the second half is about the cub making friends with a human and experiencing all kinds of stuff he has never seen before in his life. All this with the sky watching over him. I thought this was a nice little movie. Good story, interesting characters and nice animation. Sucks to see there is no sequel to this one while inferior (Soviet) animation films have even more than one sequel sometimes. I certainly recommend "Umka".
