Little Bear

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.

Little Bear was one of those shows that felt like a warm blanket-gentle, slow, and full of heart. I loved watching it with my family, especially on quiet mornings or just before bedtime. There was something about its calm storytelling and soft watercolor animation that made it feel like a shared moment of peace in a busy day.

The show follows Little Bear, a curious and kind-hearted cub, as he explores the world around him with his friends-Duck, Owl, Cat, Hen-and his loving Mother Bear. The episodes are simple, often centered around imagination, nature, or small life lessons. But that simplicity was part of its magic. It didn't need flashy action or loud jokes to hold my attention; it invited me to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Watching it with my family made it even more special. We'd laugh at Duck's silliness, admire Owl's wisdom, and sometimes just sit quietly, soaking in the gentle rhythm of the show. It was one of the few programs that truly felt like it was made for togetherness-not just for kids, but for anyone who wanted to feel a little closer to home.

Looking back, I'd give Little Bear a 6/10. It wasn't the most exciting show, and sometimes the pacing felt too slow, even for me as a kid. But it was sweet, sincere, and full of warmth. It gave me memories of quiet joy with my family-and that's something no rating can fully capture.

LITTLE BEAR (1995-2003) is a cute animated children's show about Little Bear, his family and friends. It's an enjoyable children's show.

"Based upon a series of children's books by Else Holmemund Minarik, a grizzly cub has many misadventures with his friends. Little Bear learns the ways of the world in this wonderful series based on the classic children's book. Little Bear learns about character, honesty, and love. There are fun adventures, games and much more to be had here."

Overall, this was a nice children's show, with cute characters, touching relationships, and sweet stories. Pretty wholesome and mellow. A sweet watch.

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.
