Little Bear - Winter Tales (1997)

With snowball fights, snow angels, and a trek to the North Pole, this is the perfect tape to motivate your youngster to get bundled up and go outdoors into the snow. In "Snowball Fight," Father Bear frowns over the family budget until Little Bear lures him outdoors for a snowy match. In the particularly charming tale "Winter Solstice," Emily and her grandmother join the extended Bear family in placing food in a tree for snow angels while singing the catchy song "Loves Winter." Later, the Bear family visits Emily and her grandmother for dinner in "Snowbound," only to get snowed in and share an evening of song, dance, and jokes. Finally, Little Bear and Duck go in search of the place where the snow comes from in "Little Bear and the North Pole." --Kimberly Heinrichs Amazon.com

great christmas/winter movie

have to agree with the other reviewers; this cant possibly offend anyone....it keeps it simple and focuses on some of the true aspects of christmas; giving,loving, and warmth. i also was not offended (as a christian) on how this particular episode was written. little bear is my daughter's favorite and i honestly think they are so well written and so well done that any adult could enjoy watching them over and over. i know i do. it is nice to see that innocence is still around in children's television....as it is hard to find unless you really look.....it is definitly in the little bear movies and books.

A fan of Little Bear

I was introduced to Little Bear while watching Noggin on television. I disconnected to digital cable t.v. but I loved the Little Bear programs on Noggin so much that I have bought 6 Little Bear videos and I just ordered the Little Bear Winter Soltice video in February. I watched this episode on television. As a Christian I did not find this particular episode offensive. On the contrary I thought it was quite warm hearted and enchanting. In one episode of Little Bear-not on the Winter Soltice- Little Bear was very sad because his very good friend Emily and her doll Lucy had to go back to school. Mother Bear sat in the rocking chair and gently rocked Little Bear while he drank a cup of hot chocolate and a tear rolled down his face. I felt so sorry for Little Bear. In another episode- it was so touching how Little Bear tenderly took care of Mother Bear while she was sick in bed with a cold. The bottom line is I like every episode of Little Bear that I have ever seen. I have six videos already. Little Bear is polite and courteous as are his friends. His parents and grandparents are comforting and good role models. Little Bear and his family and friends have enchanting and exciting adventures. If you want your child to learn how to get along with people and just plain good family values, I would recommend any Little Bear episode. February 19, 2005

great seasonal tape

My 2-year-old daughter adores Little Bear -- we discovered him on Noggin -- and this tape is her current favorite. It's great because it's not totally holiday, so she will relate to it far longer than throughout December. Little Bear is an appropriate character for her age because the stories stress the importance of family and friends, imagination and pretend play, and respect and love. Many have questioned the use of the "Winter Solstice" on this one, but as a Christian I really don't mind it because it is relevant to the importance of holiday tradition. My daughter and I are going to make "bird cookies" to hang on a tree in our yard, just like Little Bear and his family did for the snow angels.
I highly recommend any tape or DVD with Little Bear, although I understand that they are becoming out of print now. Bring back Little Bear!! December 13, 2004
