The story
Three brother bears awkwardly attempt to find their place in civilized society, whether they're looking for food, trying to make human friends, or scheming to become famous on the internet. Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear stack atop one another when they leave their cave and explore the hipster environs of the San Francisco Bay Area, and it's clear the siblings have a lot to learn about a technologically driven world. By their side on many adventures are best friend Chloe (the only human character in the cast), fame-obsessed panda Nom Nom, and Charlie, aka Bigfoot.
We Bare Bears recap
Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear are three bear brothers living in a cave in the San Francisco Bay Area. They try hard to fit in with humans: making friends online, becoming internet famous, getting jobs and riding the bus. Grizzly, the eldest, is outgoing and overconfident; Panda is sensitive and glued to his phone; Ice Bear, the youngest, rarely speaks, refers to himself in the third person and is skilled at almost everything. They travel by stacking on top of each other. Their friends include Chloe, a child genius at college; Charlie, a Bigfoot; and Nom Nom, a koala internet celebrity. Some episodes show the brothers as cubs, slowly revealing how they met and came to be together. Created by Daniel Chong, the show aired on Cartoon Network for four seasons from 2015 to 2019. A prequel spin-off about the cubs, We Baby Bears, followed in 2022.
