Little Bear

Nice Show I Loved That Adventures Of 3 Animated Fairytales What A Magic Themed Cbbc Show It Was I'm happy that this is my nearly-two-year-old's favorite show because it is very, very watchable (over and over again) for the adult set as well (and her 8-year-old cousin, who still loves it, too). I don't think I could stand that much Dora or Elmo, but Little Bear is a very sweet show with a simple plot line and "nice" character interactions that teach good values and behaviors (nobody is trying to trick or exclude anybody or or obnoxious and rude (or children smarter than their parents), which I often notice in some of the other children's programming).

Occasionally, the episodes (especially on the Halloween DVD) do get a little bit scary for my sensitive toddler, though. They don't seem scary to me, but they currently are to her. If you start out with one of the DVDs, I recommend Little Bear's Rainy Day Tales - it's my daughter's favorite (nothing scary there and lots of the animal friends in the episodes)

When Little Bear first started when I was 3, I loved it. At 18, I still love it. Why? It is fun, it is innocent and it is cute. It is also simple, but that is a good thing for me really. The animation is vibrant and colourful, and the music is lovely. The dialogue is funny and quite intelligent, and I loved the stories, simple they are but educational. The characters are a delight, Little Bear and his friends and family are all endearing and easy to relate to. Overall, this is a delight, for kids and adults, not in a witty way but in a simple and innocent way, innocent as in what Winnie the Pooh or Beatrix Potter were. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I get to babysit my grandchildren on my days off from work. If it weren't for them, I would never have known this show existed. It is shown twice-a-day on the Noggin preschool network. This is a charming and enjoyable series about a family of bears. Little Bear learns right and wrong from very understanding and patient parents and grandparents. He has a number of animal friends and one human girl friend who share his adventures. A healthy dose of fantasy is thrown in for good measure. The only hard thing to swallow about the whole show is the parents and grandparents wearing clothes including shoes. Of course, this show is for preschoolers not grandparents but you'll have a good time watching it anyway.

This is my childhood comfort tv show. Imagine combining Franklin, We Three Bears, The Aristocats, Milo and Otis, Anne of Green Gables, Beatrix Potter, Ghibli, Babar, Matilda, Ella Enchanted, Little Women, and Winnie The Pooh together. Then imagine you dipped that combination of stories and characters and feelings like a cookie into a warm cup of late Victorian or early Edwardian tea, and drank it at your grandma's house wrapped in a warm blanket made of comfort and love. It was the original cottagecore influence in my life. Charming, gentle, and as if Beatrix Potter's illustrations had come to life in another time.

Growing up, I never really cared for Little Bear I used to think it was REALLY boring. However, my autistic twin began watching it recently, and now I can sit down and watch an episode.
