Little Bear is mischievous, cheerful, and playful but more than that he has an incredible and precious gift that brings great delight and tremendous enjoyment to his best friend Rita and his parents: he adds a bit of ‘extra’ to the ordinary.  Thanks to his imagination and creativity making him take thousands of detours along the way, growing day by day becomes child’s play!  With the little bear’s extraordinarily active imagination, every moment of every day becomes a crazy adventure or an ‘extra’-ordinary friendship.

Targeted at 4 to 7-year-olds, Little Bear is based on the famous picture books by renowned and much-loved French author and illustrator Benjamin Chaud and directed by Matthieu Gaillard. 

Emmanuèle Pétry Sirvin, Co-Founder of Dandelooo, commented: “It’s so heart-warming to see Little Bear making his paw mark around the globe.  His fun-filled adventures coupled with his mischievousness promises not only to entertain but to educate preschoolers around the world.”
