Good choice for young children [Posted on 2007-08-24]
If you are looking for good cartoons for very young children to watch, the "Little Bear" series is an excellent choice. These videos are nonviolent, reasonably engaging and intelligent, and they generally teach good values and problem solving. It's not great art, but it is entertaining and won't insult your child's intelligence. Based on a series of books written by Else Homelund Minarik in the 1960s, this is good family fare -- you can park your kid in front of these films and not have to worry about disturbing or inappropriate content. Whew! Thank goodness.

This episode is a full-length film in which Little Bear meets a wild bear cub in the woods who has a rough-edged personality and doesn't know how to behave in a civilized house... Nonetheless, Little Bear brings him home and let's him stay as his guest for several days, teaching him about table manners and being polite, etc. When they discover that the wild cub is an orphan, Little Bear and his friends help him find his parents again. It's a little bit weird, but not too bad... another fine entry in the "Little Bear" series. (ReadThatAgain)

A Little Scarier Little Bear - Fine for 4+ [Posted on 2007-10-27]
My daughter is a HUGE Little Bear fan, and has watched the series since she was one. I purchased the Little Bear Movie for her as a present for her third birthday, and she watched it last night for the first time after her party. She loved it, and wanted to see it again, but it was her bedtime.

That being said, she said that the movie is "too scary to watch by myself." Now, she just turned three, and I know once she watches it a few times she won't be afraid anymore, but it made a definite impression on her unlike any of the episodes in the series.

She loved the mountain lion, even though she said it was scary, and was very excited by the eagle. The scene where Cub lost his mother in the storm may have been a little too much for her. "Cub got hit by a BIG STORM! Cub got hit by FIRE! He got burned by the fire!" she exclaimed over and over again, fascinated and scared. I explained that he was fine and wasn't hurt, but I don't think I overcame her initial impression. When Cub and Little Bear are swept down a waterfall later in the movie, it took me quite some time to convince her that the water wasn't hot.

Don't get me wrong, she loved the movie, and I know I'll be playing it for her over and over. She likes scary things, and if her father or I are with her, I have no problem with her watching it. There were spots where she laughed in glee, and we talked about the movie at great length. Just bear in mind (no pun intended) that if your little one is very little, you might want to be on hand for comfort and explanation the first time you play this one.

It's nowhere near as scary as a lot of the Disney stuff, but my little girl hasn't been exposed to anything scarier than the programming on Noggin. Again, just a little warning to those familiar with Little Bear, this one is a bit more intense than the series.

Little Bear to the RESCUE! [Posted on 2007-10-28]
This movie is fantastic for all ages. It was purchased for a 3 year old, but his older brother is 6 and likes it as well. Actually, the whole family has been watching it. It is such a cute story. The boys stay glued to the screen while it's on.
It's nice to find a DVD with Little Bear because the younger boy had been crying to watch him all day long. He simply didn't understand why it couldn't be on TV all the time.
We thought and thought on a special gift to buy for his 3rd birthday. At the last minute (literally the day before), we found the Little Bear DVDs at Amazon. Lucky for us, Amazon has amazing shipping and we were able to receive them the next day before the party. We're extremely pleased with the quality of the movie and service from Amazon.
Little Bear saved the day!!

Great DVD! My son could watch it over and over again for hours if I'd let him.
