Ralph Lauren's Animated Film Introduces the Polo Bear on a Mission
In a unique venture for the fashion brand, Ralph Lauren has produced an animated film titled "The Polo Bear Chronicles: Operation Black Tie." The film stars the brand's iconic mascot, the Polo Bear, who has previously graced the windows of company stores during the holiday season of 2024[3].
The animated short film is a playful and entertaining story about a bear embarking on a mission to solve a mysterious theft[5]. Accompanied by a streetwise pigeon sidekick, the Polo Bear navigates various venues, including a swanky New York townhouse, a polo match, and a black-tie gala[1][4]. The bear and his companion outsmart security and socialites in a thrilling manner reminiscent of a James Bond adventure[1].
The teaser trailer for the film was released on Monday on YouTube and social media[2]. In the teaser, the Polo Bear is described as living in a quiet Manhattan townhouse with a taste for the finer things[2]. The animation features scenes from brownstone to beach house, polo game to gala[4].
The full animated short film is scheduled to debut on Aug. 14 and is available on Ralph Lauren's YouTube channel[2][4]. With its action-packed scenes and unique blend of fashion and adventure, "The Polo Bear Chronicles: Operation Black Tie" promises to be an exciting addition to the world of animated films[5].
