Friendly Bear

Product Information

Like Father, Like Son: Badtz-Maru shares similar personality traits as his father. This aspect is hightlighted in this Japanese comic ◊ from Sanrio's monthly magazine "Strawberry Magazine" from the mid 1990s.

Big Bad Wannabe: Despite being a far bigger threat than normal after turning into Dark Jeff during Legend of the Gnome Gemulets, Jeff still winds up falling into this territory after being defeated and stripped of his powers. He is then overshadowed by the much more evil and much more powerful Gremularth. And, of course, pandas have often been portrayed as humorous in fiction, even though they're really just as dangerous as other bears are. Affably Evil: Jeff is very friendly and personable, but still tries to force a twelve-year old girl to marry thousands without regret. He was also planning on eating Steve if he didn't get any pie. One episode shows a tree where Mother and Father Bear carved their initials before Little Bear was born, and the initials are M.B. + F.B., implying that 'Mother' and 'Father' have always been their names, or at least that their real names start with the same letters. Green-Eyed Monster: While Mell is good friends with My Melody, she does get envious of her popularity when she's not around. One video from Puroland's Youtube channel shows her working at a store that features a pile of various Sanrio characters . Mell looks at a pile of My Melody stuffed animals and holds one of them in her arms. While doing this, she starts to feel a bit sad.

Mell (Wish Me Mell)

Best Friend: Hello Kitty considers My Melody to be her best friend. Helps that she alongside My Melody are one of the oldest Sanrio characters in the company. In Aladdin, bears appear in Prince Ali's menagerie along with some lions in the "Prince Ali" song. They are only on screen for a few seconds, but they give a friendly smile at the audience, implying this trope. The third film has Genie using a bear for a Kodiak moment. Lucio is a bear from B.ARK is a one of the protagonists, and as friendly and protective than the average bear. No Mouth: She has no mouth in works produced under Sanrio Digital, like The Adventures Of Hello Kitty & Friends, and Hello Kitty Online and in some of her older designs during the 70's, but this is not as common in modern merchandise. Played straight by others. The "Just So" Story of Devil's Tower in Wyoming involves one or more gigantic bears trying to kill frightened children and the Creator raising the tower up under the kids to save them.

Escape to Witch Mountain: Tia frees a captured bear, which goes along with Tony and Tia and protects them. Anti-Mutiny: The clone Dippers betray the real Dipper because he wanted to abandon their ridiculously detailed plan and just talk to Wendy directly. When #2 realizes that the original plan wasn't working, they laugh it off and share a soda instead. And Now You Must Marry Me: The gnomes kidnap Mabel and try to force her into marry all of them so that she can become their new queen.

Cubby from Peter Pan is a human, but he wears a bear suit as clothing, and he's the Fat Comic Relief of the Lost Boys. Brainwashed and Crazy: The second half of Legend of the Gnome Gemulets sees the entire gnome kingdom fall under the influence of Dark Jeff. Domain Holder: Inside of the abandoned convenience store, they're basically omnipotent and can warp reality inside the store as much as they please. The Nintendo 3DS game Teddy Together involves the player interacting and befriending a living teddy bear.

In Stardew Valley, one of the Secret Notes you can find is a badly-spelled request for maple syrup to be brought to the Secret Forest. Sure enough, the client is a talking bear who, after treating the exchange like a drug deal ("have you got 'the stuff'? oh yeah, that's the good 'stuff'"), gratefully teaches you "Bear's Secret Knowledge" to improve the quality of wild berries, tripling their sale value. Naga from The Legend of Korra also counts. She's a "polar bear dog" (part polar bear, part Big Friendly Dog), and is Korra's best friend.Technobear from Harvey Beaks is a street-smart, party-loving bear cub who is one of Harvey's best friends and something of a KidAnova. Gahan Wilson's Harry, the Fat Bear Spy, who'd much rather go to the beach and eat macaroons than do espionage work. The Sugar Bear (originally three Sugar Bears), the mascot from the Sugar Golden Crisp cereal boxes, though most ads tried to play him as a cool, jazzy-style character. The High Queen: Queen Marisol of Eldora from A Warm Welcome is a kind and well-liked queen, much like Elsa. The two become easy friends and trade partners. The German co-production Sesamstraße has Samson, a large teddy bear who is friends with the other characters and is a child in spite of his size and voice.

Brilliant, but Lazy: Emphasis on the LAZY. On occasion, Gudetama has shown up the humans around it in activities ranging from a rhythm-based mobile game, to swatting a feisty mosquito. It also sometimes offers sagely advice (often of the depressing sort) that includes Lampshade Hanging with a dash of Only Sane Man (Egg?), usually when the humans around it are being shallow/foolish. Not Afraid to Die: The clones are only mildly annoyed at their own deaths, with Paper Jam Dipper in particular being happy to die.Karma Houdini Warranty: " Journal 3", which was released months following the Debuting in The Muppet Show, Fozzie Bear is a pal to Kermit and other Muppets, as well as having his own comedy routine. Stalker with a Crush: Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets reveals that Jeff has been stalking Pacifica and considers making her his queen. This can sometimes be Truth in Television. Being between a mama bear and her cub has been justly described as the most dangerous place on earth, but any number of bears can be very dangerous indeed. Thumbelina (1992): The titular character finds a few of these and befriends them. Sadly, they cannot help Thumbelina since winter is coming and bears hibernate at the time. Should a bear fail to get to its cave, it might fall asleep in a dangerous, hostile land.
