Movie Reviews of The Little Bear Movie
Movie Review: A Little Scarier Little Bear - Fine for 4+
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of The Little Bear Movie
In THE LITTLE BEAR MOVIE, Little Bear and Father Bear go camping and encounter another young bear named Cub. When Little Bear learns that Cub has lost his parents he decides to help Cub find them. And of course, Owl, Hen, Cat and Duck join in the search party too! Along the way, Little Bear, Cub and Duck get separated from the others and must spend the night in the wilderness. When the morning comes they continue the search for Cub?s parents in a place very different from Little Bear?s world.Similar DVD Movies
