With fandom all over the world, squealing over their cuteness, We Bare Bears has captured the hearts of children and adults with their funny antics. With so much success over the original series, this year we get to be charmed all over again with the junior versions of Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear in We Baby Bears.
The spin-off of the hit Cartoon Network series, We Baby Bears follows Grizz (Connor Andrade), Panda (Amari McCoy) and Ice Bear (Max Mitchell) – as their younger baby selves – travelling in a magical box to fantastic new worlds searching for a place to call home.
Along the way, they meet new friends, learn a few lessons and discover that “home” can mean wherever they are, as long as they’re together.
We caught up with Christina Chang, the Creative Director for the Cartoon Network Original Series We Baby Bears to know more about the show.
The difference between the spin-off compared to We Bare Bears
According to Christina, aside from featuring locations out of San Francisco- the art style is just something different and more vivid; a completely different take on the Bears actually, an AU (alternate universe).. literally!
She stated that the message the show is trying to convey to the audience is through the Bears’ adventures. She feels sthey leave each of the worlds they visit with a better understanding of the characters and people they meet – and they learn what works for someone else may not work for you and vice versa.. and that it’s ok!
How the show would appeal to audiences, both kids and adults
In terms of visual appeal, credits would have to be due to the art director, Valerie Schwarz! Valerie and her team take so much time researching and pulling inspiration from real flora, fauna, architecture, and more to create the fantastic visuals we have in the show!
When it comes to the characters, all of We Baby Bears' board artists do such a fantastic job drawing in fun expressions- which might be an appeal point for kids.
Overall, Christina thinks travelling and exploring is on a lot of people’s minds, especially during the pandemic. The Bears get to zip zap all around the universe and see new places. All exciting and something new to explore.
Christina’s favourite bear
When asked about her favourite bear, Christina said she liked Ice Bear’s monotone vibe, but she thinks she has gotten to like Panda more - he’s not shy about expressing his comfort zone and is pretty resourceful! As long as he’s got his cellphone and decent internet connection.
