About We Bare Bears Cartoon Network’s We Bare Bears is an animated comedy about three brothers trying to fit in and make friends...which can be kinda hard to do when you’re a bear. Grizzly is the oldest bear, and leads his brothers with bounds of optimism...which only turn out disastrous some of the time. Panda, the middle child, is a hopeless romantic. Ice Bear is the youngest brother with a wild card personality.

The Bears are fairly savvy about the modern world: they’re masters of the selfie, fans of food trucks, and chasers of internet fame. But they still have a lot to learn about the trendy residents that surround their humble Bay Area cave. Whatever the situation, it’s obvious that being a bear in the modern world is not easy.
