Review by Mike Szymanski

Bramble and the space cat Avi, when he’s a nice kitty

How did I not know about the Boonie Bears? Of course, if you don’t have toddler-to-elementary school-aged children, you may not keep up with children’s shows, but the Boonie Bears are going to be an animated team that everyone will get to know about at some point.

They will be as ubiquitous as Dora the Explorer once was, maybe more. They are the Pokemon of the children’s market, and they make a lot more sense to me. It’s a charming cartoon franchise that you may want to watch whether you have kids or not.

The Boonie Bears show is the longest-running and most popular children’s show in China since 2012, with more than 600 episodes and is now being shown in 82 countries.
