The Polar Bear King (Kvitebjørn Kong Valemon) is a 1991 Norwegian film, with puppet effects by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The credits identify it as being adapted from a Norwegian folk tale.

The handsome King Valemon of Summerland refuses to marry an evil Witch and ally the kingdom to the forces of darkness. The furious Witch enchants Valemon, turning him into a polar bear. Fleeing north to the icy kingdom of Winterland, Valemon meets a beautiful princess, who sees through the furry exterior to the man within. She and Valemon travel back to Summerland to break the spell.
