Little Bear - Halloween Stories

Little Bear is one of those things from your childhood you just can't leave behind. I grew up watching the cartoon apart of Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. programming block in the 90s. And as I matured into an adult, Little Bear is one of the things I just couldn't ever give up. This DVD is great and provides almost 2 hours worth of Little Bear.There are four main episodes that make up the "Halloween stories", which are:"Goblin Night" - Little Bear and Cat set out on Goblin Night together. Along the way they meet up with friends while trying to avoid the goblins believed to be awake on this night."Moonlight Serenade" - A magical Autumn episode featuring Little Bear, enchanted gardening equipment, lively pumpkins, and a walking scarecrow. This episode features beautiful scenery, from a spooky cat and owl (not the characters) in a rather scary tree, to a bright harvest moon in the sky."How to Scare Ghosts" - Little Bear is awoken in the middle of the night to some rather musical "ghosts" in the living room. By playing Father Bear's trumpet, Little Bear joins in. Love the music in this episode!"Thunder Monster" - A stormy night keeps Little Bear awake, and provokes him to anger. He tries his best to scare off the titular monster.Besides the four main episodes, there are seven other episodes too!"Exploring" - Little Bear, Cat, and Duck set out on an exploration to find Mother Bear and Father Bear's special spot, a tree atop of a rock."Duck Looses Her Quack" - While babysitting, Duck must teach the ducklings how to quack. Unfortunately on this day she has lost her quack!"Night Of The Full Moon" - Little Bear and Father Bear stay up late reading a monster story by firefly light. On this night there's a full moon, and they both set out to scare the monsters of the night! I love the Maurice Sendak characters featured in the book!"Little Sherlock Bear" - Mother Bear has prepared a delicious pie for Father Bear. But the pie goes missing, and Little Bear interrogates his friends and uses clues to find the pie "thief"."Under The Covers" - Little Bear becomes frightened of bed bugs, which leads to late night fun with Mother Bear and Father Bear!"The Campfire Tale" - While camping with Little Bear and Father Bear, Uncle Rusty tells them the story of a certain little bear who tried to give his mother bear the moon as a gift."Up All Night" - While Father Bear is away fishing at sea, Little Bear wants to stay up to watch the sunrise with Mother Bear.Great collection of episodes, even if they don't all have a common theme.The fact you can get 2 hours worth of Little Bear on one DVD for an affordable price is great! Perfect DVD for your own Goblin Night!

I loved little bear from the first time that I saw it on television. It teaches good, wholesome, family values and doesn't preach about world problems. It takes children back to a simpler time - before they were bombarded with technology and politics. Little Bear promotes pro-social behavior, imagination, creativity, and may even help a child advance their aesthetic sense. The music is soft and soothing, story lines are fun and youthful, and the general feel of this particular DVD has captured all of the warm and spicy spookiness of autumn. When I have time to myself and feel like watching something that captures the essence of childhood innocence, I will definitely pick Little Bear off of my shelf (Which currently holds the complete collection of Beatrix Potter). I don't see how this DVD could be found scary to any child, or how any adult could possibly call this rubbish. It's certainly better than the mainstream "educational" kid shows that are currently on the market, and I won't hesitate to grab up as many of these episodes as I can.

I stumbled across Little Bear when I had borrowed them from the library and just fell in love with the simplicity and goodness of them. The feel of this particular one is autumnal , of course, and it has been watched so many times that I just had to buy it. The voice actors are very good as well, and the plots are simple and as lovely as the original books.It's a cartoon that I enjoy watching with kids, and it is a safe one as well. The way carottons should be for little ones : violence-free, happy, pure, and creative. Simply lovely.

My 3.5 year old daughter loves Halloween and Little Bear so getting this DVD was a no-brainer. The DVD contains 12 stories in all, and at 10 mins each, they are a quick watch and play one after the other [i usually hit the next button to get to the following episode]. The episodes are: Goblin Night, Moonlight Serenade, How to Scare Ghosts, Thunder Monster, Under the Covers, The Campfire Tale, Night of the Full Moon, Up All Night, Little Sherlock Bear, Duck Loses Her Quack, Exploring, and Detective Little Bear.Little Bear and his friends - Owl, Duck, Cat, etc are lovable and cute - the stories are engaging and make for fun viewing for little ones.

I have owned my own daycare/preschool for 27 years and I know great childrens movies!!! If you buy this one you will never regret it. Best part is it does have cute halloween movies in it but a good dvd for all year as the movie contains many short stories in it. The few first ones are halloween but many of them are for all year long to enjoy. The movie lasts over an hour so you dont have to keep changing the movie as some childrens dvd movies are only 30-45 minutes long. My children have LOVED little bear for all of the years I have taught. The life lessons he teaches are ones every parent is proud for their children to learn. Being kind, sharing, a good family base, dont be afraid of storms, ect. Buy this one and you will never regreat it!!!

I think "Little Bear" was/is the BEST TV show for children! We had them all on tape and my two sons watched them over and over . . .We bought this book as a gift for a relative, so I won't comment on this particular book. I'll say the concept is great and the shows were all first rate.There are so many great books for kids. You may want to try "If you give a moose a muffin" or "good night moon".

I love the Little Bear Stories. There are quite a few episodes in addition to the Halloween stories and they are easily accessible from the DVD menu.The Little Bear series is classy, low-key, and friendly and teaches lessons without smacking you in the face with them. It is relaxing and I believe it fosters the imagination. I'm not great at watching the kids shows but Little Bear actually entertains me and it's easy to fall in love with all the main characters (Little Bear, Mother Bear, Father Bear, Duck, Owl, Cat, Lucy, etc.).You can't go wrong with Little Bear.

I love Little Bear for my 3 year old. It DOES calm down little boys. But I was disappointed that they changed the theme music. Don't "they" realize that children need routine - my little boy jumps for joy when he hears the old theme music. We put this on today all excited to see the Halloween episodes and he was quite upset the music was different - en fin....it is still Little Bear but just a little different.

shipping was super fast and the my son loves little bear

Love little bear!
