Client:

At the centre of Robin Hill’s Christmas spectacular, Polar, the park knew they wanted an iconic, merchandisable character. They approached Creature Encounter to deliver two fully mobile realistic polar bears, a mother and her cub.
Debrief:
We used rapid patterning techniques to create the characters in lightweight, durable foams. Then working into these forms developed the mechanical structure to animate these enormous beasts.

Walk around costumes
Moving mouths
Closing eyes

Testimonial
“The polar bears were a divine focal point to our event, POLAR. Our customers were absolutely enchanted by these beautiful creatures and were quite emotional as a result! They brought a completely charming aspect to our picturesque park, and the narrative will continue to develop for future POLAR events. Thank you once again, Creature Encounter!”
