Bear in 2004

[GonzoGirl]

I'm just so happy Bear and the gang are leaving the house and going into outer space...errr I mean real life. Maybe they'll run into Travelling Matt?

Hehehe! I hope they send postcards!

Actually, I'm pretty sure production of the series stopped because of Lynne Thigpen's passing.

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but recently I've seen a great awareness of Bear on Disney Channel recently. I don't know if they are just exploiting the character or what. I have seen them air more commercials for the show and I don't watch the channel that much. Just curious if anybody else had noticed this.

so whatever happened to bear and company venturing outside into the real world? or the bear in the big blue house dvd movie?

Waznt there talks of a Bear in the BIG blue house movie a few years ago?!? If so, whats going on with it, is it still happening or am i just thinking things again? lol...

 

[McFraggle]

I'm not really sure, but I expect Disney to do some new things with Bear.

 

[Bean Bunny]

Disney will proably use the Bear in the real world DVD, if they have all ready been filmed.

 

[McFraggle]

Did they ever start production on this?

 

[beaker]

yeah what's up with the bear in the real world dvds? We havent gotten any word on these. I hope Disney makes good on bringing back Bear to the spotlight!

 

[Bean Bunny]

Beaker, they will. Disney wouldn't have bought Bear, if they didnt' want to use him for something. They could have just had the Muppets, but Disney got Bear as well, so something is up. We just have to wait and see.

I think that the Bear in the real world DVD were meant for Sony Wonder DVD before the sale but I don't know if they were filmed. Maybe Crumbly Toast can help us with this question or someone else from Henson.
