We Bare Bears: The Movie (2020)
The much-loved, four-season animated sensation comes to a big, beary conclusion with a hilarious and heartwarming 70-minute movie worthy of its Emmy-nominated, BAFTA-, Annie and Annecy Award-winning parent series.
We Bare Bears: The Movie sees Grizz, Panda, and Ice Bear embark on an adventure to Canada after an agent from the Department of National Wildlife Control tries to put an end to their hijinks once and for all.
Den of Geek praised the movie for reminding us of the series’ true message, saying, “Underneath all the comedic hijinks, We Bare Bears has always been about acceptance and this film makes that message loud and clear.”
In addition to series stalwarts Eric Edelstein (Grizzly), Bobby Moynihan (Panda) and Emmy nominee Demetri Martin (Ice Bear), the movie features the voices of Golden Globe nominee Jason Lee (My Name is Earl), Emmy winner Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille’s Remy), Emmy nominee Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and Annie Award nominated Next Gen star Charlyne Yi.
Common Sense Media recommends the movie for ages 8+, they say, “It’s a story that can be as thoughtful as it is silly, and for that reason, it’s a movie that can be enjoyed by kids, tweens, teens, and adults, if not for the same reasons.”
