Edit

Edited one sentence to make it more neutral.--Alexrules43 23:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Not Neutral

It isn't just "not neutral", it is pointless and uncited. I have never heard any of those complaints and they all seem a bit ridiculous to me. Waqcku 22:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Point...

I don't see the point of this addition. It doesn't seem as something adding to the entry in any way, besides maybe bringing the original commentor's opinions on this show to the forefront. If there have been actual controversy regarding these episodes, it seems one would be able to provide links to news stories at least? geobaldi 13:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, Right!

It says here that Mother Bear was played by John Ratzenberger. This is seems rather false, as Mother Bear's voice was distinctly feminine (not with the hoarse falsetto that you hear when male actors voice female characters). Correct me if I'm wrong, but (according to TV.com) Mother Bear was played by Janet-Laine Green (I think).ohyeh 13:53, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

1959-1963 voice in united states addition

I'm removing it. I've done a bit of checking and I can't find anything about it. If anyone can, please feel free to add it back.

Tara Strong...

According to IMDB.com, Tara Strong was the voice of Tutu for this show. If you can provide a source stating Frank Welker was Tutu's voice, please feel free to revert my edit. Thanks.

I had to double revert some edits by an anonymous IP. Please provide a source for editing the voice cast before you edit in the future. Jjkr (talk) 23:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism...

Please refrain from vandlizing this article. Thanks! Jjkr (talk) 00:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

little bear should have new episodes

little bear should continue; it is an excellent tv series. they (production) should add new episodes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.164.139.31 (talk) 20:20, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Music

Is it possible to add information about music used in this TV series? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.100.4.187 (talk) 14:21, 5 December 2010 (UTC) I agree! Please, if anyone is reading, it'd be so nice to have the music acknowledged. It's so hard to find out this sort of information. 86.175.128.36 (talk) 19:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Historical period

I think it should be mentioned in this article the approximate historical period that the show covers. Judging from the style of dress of the characters, it looks like the 1800's or early 1900's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.35.14.116 (talk) 14:33, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

The only clues to what period the show takes place are the following:

• Season 1, Episode 1, "Little Bear Goes to the Moon" - A Space Helmet would suggest it was a time where people were intrigued about space exploration, but could not yet do it.
• Season 4, Episode 45, "Balloonheads" - A wad of bubble gum, suggests the show takes place when it was invented in the 1920s.
• Season 4, Episode 46, "Baby Deer" - A Baby bottle with a rubber teat suggests that the show definitely takes place in the 20th century.

• • But In Season 2 , Episode 53 was shown a balloon whose design is characteristic of the late nineteenth century.--95.106.55.209 (talk) 17:15, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

This is a conversation that began in 2008 and hasn't yet made its way into the article, so my guess is that it's not important enough a notion. I haven't seen the show, but it sounds like they use time and items as needed to tell a story. Woody Woodpecker used to do the same thing--sometimes he was in the old west, sometimes he was in outer space. Trying to pigeonhole the historical period might not be a worthwhile endeavor, especially if we have no sources. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Mitzi

What sort of monkey do you suppose Mitzi is? For a monkey she doesn't have a tail. The only tailless monkey I can find is the Barbary macaque. Deltasim (talk) 21:27, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

It's a cartoon monkey. It doesn't have to be any specific type. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:25, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Unacceptable page move.

User IP 166.177.185.0 and its multiple sock puppets keeps moving this page to Franklin (TV series) for no reason. We don't move a page of show to a different page on a different show unless they they were the same show altogether and these two shows are not the same show altogether. — FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 19:13, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Why...

Does Franklin turtle go to school and little bear doesn't? Googleboy587 (talk) 22:58, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

I know that Franklin and Little Bear are both related to each other, they’re both created by the same Canadians, they have the same animation and style. I know Emily (from Little Bear) goes to school, be we could say that Little Bear is homeschooled, or Bear Country doesn’t have any school, cuz they are filled with only animals.

Repeated edits

Repeated edits have changed the show to be set in Canada and identified one character as the show's protagonist. The editor is not using edit summaries, does not supply sources and ignores all talk page requests.

Minarik (the books' author) and Sendak (the illustrator) are both American. The production company for this series is Canadian. (The production company for the related film is American.) None of these establishes that the film is American, Canadian or anything else. To change the article to say it is set in Canada, you will need to provide a reliable source for the claim. Otherwise, I'll be rewriting the section to avoid associating the series with any particular country.

Stating a character is the protagonist, antagonist or any dramatic role (I've seen this taken as far as the "tertiary deuteroagonist") is original research, unless you provide a reliable source for the characterization. Honestly, the title is mostly used as shorthand in discussing a work and providing it as a "fact" is pointless and uninformative. For more info, please see WP:FILMROLE, where Wikipedia's Manual of Style specifically recommends against assigning the label. - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:13, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
