Ha! Gary’s Fall is good too.
The bears are the same ones used in Creature Comforts (accents and all), which is why I thought it was a Nick Parks film.
I don’t usually distinguish regional accents well either. When I lived in Bristol they people could almost tell which street you lived in based on accent (well, not in my case – they just pretended not to understand me instead).
