The Polar Bear King is a 1991 Norwegian fantasy adventure film directed by Ola Solum and starring Jack Fjeldstad, Maria Bonnevie, Tobias Hoesl, Monica Nordquist, and Anna-Lotta Larsson.

Far to the south young prince Valemon becomes king, however an evil witch has designs on becoming the most powerful person in the world.

Angry, the witch curses the young king by turning him into a bear by day, and marks that he has seven years to find someone to fall in love him, and marry him.

After their arrival the witch sets about trying to harm the young couple, but is thwarted by the King's mother, who has some mastery of magic as well.

Through the love of her father she is greatly restored, however her older sisters plant the idea in her mind that she should light a candle while her husband sleeps to see what he looks like.

The princess, disguised as a boy, creates a wedding dress for her enemy, while Valemon pretends to be evil after spilling the potion the Witch had to turn him to the side of darkness.

The guests, being ghosts, ghouls, demons, vampires, trolls, witches, dark elves, and satyrs, arrive at the party while the princess switches the wine for the potion that kills evil, while Valemon is unaffected.

The story was adapted from the Norwegian folktales East of the Sun and West of the Moon and the fairy tale The White Bear, King Valemon, both from the collection of tales gathered by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Engebretsen Moe.
