Little Bear

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.

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

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.

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.
