Of special note is the St.

Albert Library’s Apple Tree — actually a repurposed McDonald’s Playland tree from the restaurant’s crazy psychedelic phase. In the also-in-St.-Albert-Place Art Gallery of St.

Here, our little brown buddy bear finds himself sentenced to 10 years in prison, a rather hefty sentence for merely stealing a book (which of course, he did not). Famously, the film had a 100 per cent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes until some classic jerk trolled it in 2021.
