Are there other examples? This is something I'd really be into

Teddy Roosevelt is so thug, it’s a wonder he’s not the murderous (yet likeable!) protagonist in all sorts of movies.pic.twitter.com/OMfTcn7htU

It's weird because teddy bears are called that because of a famous newspaper cartoon depicting Roosevelt *not* killing a bear.

He saves the baby bear at the end (by making it a slave and taking his house with Goldilocks) - it’s basically a fusion of Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood, the Teddy Bear myth, and possibly an anti-imperialist allegory.

I watched this film, and those bears were clearly Brown bears. Making this an allegory for the genocide of the indigenous peoples of N. America. Then an tacit endorsement of pedophilia as he absconds with the girl. Your privilege probably blinded you to that you sensitive boys.
