    Charming & enjoyable

    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: 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.

    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.

    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

    As Seen On Cbbc

    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)
