Be-Be-Bears (Season 1)

Be-Be-Bears (2015) is a Russian animated series for young children you can watch online on iFILM. Two bear cubs — chestnut-furred Bucky and his pal Bjorn — spend their days in the forest collecting berries, going fishing, reading books and, on one particularly ambitious afternoon, heading off toward the Moon.

The two are opposites in temperament, but every scrape works out because they tackle it together. Directed by Artur Tolstobrov and Aleksey Mironov, the show runs at a calm pace with gentle humour and a steady thread about caring for the natural world — built for preschoolers, no scary moments included.
