You have found the letter "M", the next one is a real challenge! Charlotte recorded a track for a Brazilian soap opera. Although we don't have a special feature on this, you should be able to find information about the soundtrack CD.

   

"The Bear" DVD Release
 Published 5 August 2002 Thanks to UKMark, Dave, DutchMark

=Notes=.

"The Bear" is one of Charlotte's lesser known contributions but this looks to change with this latest release on DVD. "The Bear", a children's film from Raymond Biggs, was first shown on Channel 4 in the UK in 1998 and has continued to be shown in subsequent years. Previously, Charlotte's vocal work for "The Bear" was not adequately highlighted but this has all changed with this release.  Included in the DVD version of "The Bear" is a special feature titled "A Bear's Tale" which is a behind the scenes look at the making of the film. It is this which finally gives us our first glimpse of Charlotte working on the project. Below is a preview of The DVD with a focus on Charlotte's contribution as well as info and links to purchase.

Review
Based on Raymond Briggs' bestselling storybook, THE BEAR is the enchanting and magical tale from the makers of 'The Snowman'. 

A young girl, Tilly, visits the zoo with her mum and dad, but accidentally drops her best loved toy, her teddy, into the polar bear's pit. That night Tilly cries herself to sleep, only to wake and find a huge polar bear standing over her - he's come to return her precious teddy. 

So begins a magical friendship with some bear-size complications, the biggest problem being how to keep such an enormous pet hidden from her parents? Then, everything changes when the Bear hears the call of the wild from the spirit of The Great Bear in the sky and the two friends embark on an extraordinary adventure.
