WE BARE BEARS:
VIRAL VIDEO
CARTOON NETWORK’S HIT ANIMATED SERIES
WILL BE RELEASED ON DVD FOR THE FIRST TIME
ON OCTOBER 4, 2016
DVD Features 12 Episodes from the Popular Animated Series’ First Season
ATLANTA (August 25, 2016) – Cartoon Network’s funniest and most endearing animated bear brothers are coming to DVD with the highly anticipated release of We Bare Bears: Viral Video, available October 4, 2016. Climb onto the bearstack with Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear and get set for 12 delightful episodes from the hit animated comedy series, which comes to DVD for the first time. We Bare Bears has captivated audiences with its hilarious storylines, clever pop culture references and adorable characters. We Bare Bears: Viral Video will retail for $14.97 SRP.
We Bare Bears follows three bear siblings: Grizzly (Eric Edelstein), Panda (Bobby Moynihan) and Ice Bear (Demetri Martin), who try to fit in to society and make friends. Whether they’re looking for food, trying to make human friends, or scheming to become internet famous, it’s obvious that being a bear in the civilized, modern world is tough. They have a lot to learn about the trendy residents that surround their humble Bay Area cave, but at least they have each other. The Bears’ favorite way to get around town is by bearstack, where Grizzly stands atop Panda who stands atop Ice Bear who walks them wherever they want to go.
In We Bare Bears: Viral Video, the bear trio open up their own food truck, try to become Internet stars by making a viral video and try to save their home when it’s threatened by a construction project. Panda develops a big crush on a woman who saves his life after he suffers a peanut allergy attack. Grizz becomes obsessed with a bear-sized burrito and takes it with him everywhere he goes. The bear brothers meet Chloe, a very smart girl who observes them for her college presentation and they also get to know Charlie, a Bigfoot who spends a weekend in their home.
We Bare Bears was created by Annie Award-winner Daniel Chong and is based on his webcomic “The Three Bare Bears.” The animated series premiered on Cartoon Network in July 2015 and since its debut, it has become enormously popular with both adults and kids.
