We Baby Bears, without considering the original show, is a decent show. It's art style and animation is well done, and the bears are cute, the voice acting is great, and the premise is interesting.

But as a prequel/spin-off to the original series, it's mediocre. While I do like the bears, setting, and art style, it is basically a polar (or ice) opposite of the original We Bare Bears. Ice Bear is more talkative than I'd want him to be, the premise of the show doesn't make canonical sense compared to the much more realistic nature of the original series (or as realistic as a show with walking and talking bears can be).

This series is good on its own and can definitely find a supportive audience, and is better than other shows that aged down characters. But as a prequel to one of the most unique Cartoon Network series, yeah it's pretty iffy. This show probably wouldn't be getting such a mixed reaction if the original series was still running, and not having this basically be a replacement. While I still somewhat enjoy this new series, this also just makes me want a continuation of the original We Bare Bears, even in comic form.

We Baby Bears reminds me of an underrated show from the mid-2000's called "All Grown Up!" To showcase how really old I really am, it's a spin-off of Rugrats that imagines the cast as pre-teen kids. While I had good memories of watching the show, All Grown Up wouldn't ever top it's predecessor. And that reflects perfectly on how I feel about We Baby Bears.

We Baby Bears is an inverse of that concept. Instead of following the Bears as adults, they are now orphaned babies who is looking for a home via a Star-touched cardboard box that can traverse time and space. High jinx to follow.

For some positives, the Baby Bears are probably the best part of this show. They're insanely cute, expressive, and their designs translate very well within the Western-Eastern hybrid art style. The child actors playing the trio are actually really good in their roles, which is a rare feat on its own. The backgrounds are gorgeous, some shots taking a page out of Steven Universe's color palette. The fantastical worlds they visit have unique concepts (like a world of vegetable people based loosely on Arthurian legend), and WbB have interesting ideas...with clumsy execution.

Despite the limitless potential of the ideas WbB introduces, the series itself feels constrained and formulaic. The worlds the Bears explore have cool concepts, but are hindered by the short runtime. As such, a lot of the episodes half-reach their potential, and feel predictable or badly rushed at points. And while I love the art style for the Bears, some of the designs of the characters they encounter can be jarring and out-of-place.

Yet despite these issues, I still slightly recommend this show. Just go with expectations that We Baby Bears is not going to overshadow it's seasoned predecessor.

It's not a terrible show, it really isn't. But the problem is that we had baby bears in the previous we bare bears and this is very much a lazy feeling loosely inspired remake. If no previous show existed with the characters to make comparison it might be passible though the art style is a turn off. Too much of that CalArts look. But there was a previous show, with a more unique style, better voices and better developed stories. Heck, even the music was substantially better. It's a very mediocre offering.

I'm a big fan of We Bare Bears especially the baby bear episodes, but this is um not what I was expecting at all. The art style I don't like at all. Their personalities are way off and Ice bear talks way too much! I thought it was gonna be like the baby bear episodes in We Bare Bears. What were they thinking? I won't be watching it.

Looks like they took every cliche in the anime universe and melted all together along the baby bears, result = absolute cringe.

Watched two episodes and a half, couldn't stand any further, i wanted to watch something else after the first 20 seconds.

Wonder what made them do this to the bears, they just could've kept going with the original.

Is this the kind of stuff we'll get from now on thanks to everything being offensive for someone? Please 90s, be back on tv.
