    Actually pretty entertaining

    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.

    A lot of fun, innocent and really cute

    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

    Woodland Critters

    Little Bear is a classic early morning show that I use to watch at 5am or 6am. It's a show that you can fall asleep to and that's a good thing in the case of Little Bear. It's a good thing because the music it plays is so soothing. The voice work is smooth and the overall production is so calming. All characters are mellow.

    Little Bear is a social learning show and an adventure show. Little Bear and his crew of woodland critters carry the show very well.

    Again LB is a classic children show that I do recommend, unfortunately, now children have been exposed to the 3d non-sense shows that it would be hard for them to enjoy classic material.

    LITTLE BEAR: Cozy Bear Stories

    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.

    One of my favorite shows from childhood and I still love it today!

    Little Bear is one of my favorite shows from childhood and even now when I'm 18 I still love it and like to watch it. This show is not as upbeat as shows like Franklin or Arthur but it's still great. Sometimes when I watch certain shows I have to skip the theme songs but with this show I have to watch the theme song at the beginning because the music is wonderful and it's very imaginative to watch. This show also has a lot of imagination and that's one of the reasons it's so wonderful. I'm tired of people acting like you have to grow out of kids shows at a certain age. You know what I'm almost 19 and I love a lot of kids shows. There are lots of great ones like this, Franklin, Arthur, Blue's Clues, Curious George, Sesame Street, Bob the Builder, and Veggie Tales, and ones that are awful like Wow, Wow Wubbzy, Fireman Sam, Teletubbies, and the worst one of all Yo Gabba Gabba. The good ones that I mentioned teach kids lessons and maybe it wouldn't hurt for us older people to be reminded of those lessons. Little Bear I'm sure will always hold a special place in my heart and I hope I can introduce it to my nieces and nephews eventually and even my kids if I actually have any.
