Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
View MoreYou might be wondering firstly about my review title. Well I don't often give shows / episodes a perfect 10/10 and I previously gave a 10/10 to one show but now you can make it two because I just remembered this wonderful and amazing children's show.So as a kid, I watched many shows with this being one of my favourites. Now as a 16 year old when writing this review, I'm not surprised to be honest, I still love the show to this day. All of the reviews on this seem to agree that it's an amazing children's show whilst the overall rating of 6.9/10 is kind of contradicting the reviews and is confusing.Anyway, enough of that and on to the actual show on why it's so amazing. Each episode is about teaches the children certain lessons like responsibility, friendship etc. But that might sound like an average children's show right now to you reading this 'cause the average children's show should teach kids lessons. Bear in the Big Blue House does it in such a way that it entertains kids with catchy songs to play along and of course some running gags like Shadow, Ray or Luna. The most memorable moment of any episode for me is the Luna and Bear singing the Goodbye Song segment at the end. I remember very, very well that my nanny and I sung this song all the time together and whenever I think of it these days or listen to it, I cry my tears out as the nostalgia really kills me. Where this show went I will never know. Just like many classic children shows, sadly they get washed away by new series or reruns of terrible shows which should not be the case. I'm glad that I was a kid when this was running on air, so sorry to children now watching today's crappy TV shows.It is also a very pleasant show for the child's family to watch with him / her unlike something like Dora the Explorer. Do I recommend this show? Of course, I most certainly do recommend this amazing children's show.
View MoreBear In The Big Blue House never failed to entertain me over and over as a youngster. At times I would even watch it while eating breakfast. Each episode focuses on a particular theme such as using the senses, the seasons, and even toilet training. In fact, I think that if it wasn't for the "potty" episode I would still be in diapers (I was fairly stubborn on the issue). Bear acts like a father/older brother figure to Tutter the mouse, Ojo the small bear, Treelo the lemur, and Pip and Pop the twin otters. There are also two other regular characters called Shadow (the outline of a little girl with pigtails) and Luna (the moon). Ray (the sun) also makes occasional appearances. All of these great characters have really appealing designs. Bear is a mix of brown and orange, Ojo is red, Treelo is green with blue ears and tail, Tutter is blue, and Pip and Pop are purple. As a kid and an adult I'm always enchanted by this literal rainbow of characters and I think any young child would be. If I had to pick a favourite it would be Treelo. Another thing that I absolutely adore is the songs, especially the "bear chachacha". This is a show every child should see.
View MoreI was 5 when this started airing on weekday mornings, and I cannot count the number of times I was enthralled when watching this programme. At 17, I still love it. Bear in the Big Blue House is a rarity, and is absolutely perfect for kids to wake up to. The puppetry is first rate so colourful and convincing, the characters are endearing(I have always loved Tutter and Pip and Pop), the songs are tuneful and fun and the stories are nice. Also, this programme successfully teaches simple lessons that adults will definitely appreciate, and Bear even talks into the camera so I always get the feeling that I am being invited into this wonderful big blue house, and that is exactly what I want to feel. I have mentioned the songs, but I have to say the title theme is something that kids will definitely have in their heads, as it is in my head constantly. Same with the theme tunes to Darkwing Duck and Pingu. Bear's duet with the moon is lovely, and speaking of Bear he is an amazing character, so warm and loving you can easily relate to him. In conclusion, a rare weekday morning gem. 10/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreMy 3 yr old has loved this show since he could watch tv. Bear and all his friends are great role models for kids. They teach kids about sharing, going to the potty, cleaning up, as well as about letters and numbers. There is even some things that Bears says that are amusing to adults. This is a truly amazing show!!!
