We Bare Bears: The Movie

This is generally the best Cartoon Network film of 2020 even better than Sponge on the run. Picking a movie as a series finale was a genius way. I am still waiting for the Craig of the Creek movie which will release on December 11 this year on digital devices. This is a good watch and I'm sure you had a good time. I have been a fan if We Bare Bears when I first watched it and now the series is over, I'm still waiting for Gumball season 7 and looking forward for the future of Gumball. Even tho the Gumball movie has been shelved, I still believe that the movie will release but only time we'll tell. Thank you We Bare Bears.

We Bare Bears is a rare type of show that uses internet and cringe humor right. Let me address the elephant in the room, the "meme" humor. The memes that they use are extremely outdated and not funny... and they know that. Unlike something like the Emoji Movie, the film knows you'll grown, and that's the point. They don't reference Gangnam Style and expect you to laugh, it's to make fun of how dated and tacky people who think that kind of pandering is. The other huge thing is the runtime, 1 hour and 9 minutes. While that is disappointing, it's perfect for the story the writers wanted to tell. I'd rather have 1 hour and 9 minutes of movie then 21 extra minutes of filler. The movie has moments and characters that mean more to the fans of the show, but there is enjoyment for older and newer viewers.

It a really good movie for all ages and really sweet throughout the run time. I do wish there was more chole and Charlie but it can't be helped. The ending is really good and shows that you don't have to be blood to be family. I really hope they work the new bears into the show next season.

The show has lots of social commentary that addresses immigration, integration, and the fickleness of human nature. It is very well-thought out and enjoyable to watch, not to mention that it leaves the audience reflecting on current American society. Some reviews say that the movie is "cringey," but the messages being delivered throughout the film overweigh whatever some might call "cliché." (It really was not cringey at all; there are many other films that are way more cringe-worthy, and that do not deliver a purposeful message as well as We Bare Bears did.) The movie goes into depth about real issues in a way that is extremely fascinating to see. It is not a long movie, so I highly recommend giving it your time.

Having always been an avid fan of this series, I was a bit disappointed when the film adaptation didn't make it to theaters, but seeing the result, I can understand why. It isn't that it is bad in anyway, it's just not the strongest the film could have been, which is a bit disappointing considering its the end of the series. However, through some magic on the sweet side of things, the film can be quite charming, providing a decent amount of chuckles throughout, as well as quite heartwarming with an ending that truly wraps things up quite nicely. Some moments of the film can be a bit predictable, a bit familiar, and even a bit cringy. There things you have seen countless times before in films of similar plot and nature, and I just wish that throughout the process of making it they could have found a way to be a bit more original. The film also has a very different feel from the series itself, with the original tv show being rather lighthearted fun, never anything too deep. The film however seems to almost be going for a social commentary kind of approach, which I mean does fit given the films circumstances, but feels a bit out of place in the whole scheme of things. In the end, I enjoyed this film. It wasn't great, and certainly not the best film adaptation of a cartoon i have seen, but more often than not I enjoyed myself, and it left me with a smile on my face.

My Rating: 5.5/10.
