MASHA AND THE BEAR

Bear’s plans for a restful hibernation are put on hold when Masha releases some angry bees in his home. Now fully awake, Bear prepares a meal for a very hungry Masha. Unfortunately, a tired Masha falls asleep in Bear’s bed, eaving Bear to share his meal with his friend the Wolf.

It’s Christmas, and Bear has big plans to decorate the house for Santa’s visit. Unfortunately, they are put on hold as Masha pays a visit, ruining his decorations. As the duo heads out to replace Bear’s tree, Masha again causes trouble – but this time with Santa – who ends up bedridden. It’s now up to Masha and Bear to deliver Santa’s presents to the forest animals.

It’s spring time! Bear happily wakes from a peaceful hibernation, and finds a beautiful Lady Bear enjoying some quiet time at the local lake. Eager to spend some quiet time alone with her, Bear is challenged by a Rival Bear who competes for Lady Bear’s affections. Bear comes to realize that friendship is a very valuable thing.

The Bear goes fishing. In anticipation he slings his fishing rod but as soon as the first fish swallows the bait, Masha appears and transforms a pleasant fishing trip into a nightmare. The Bear makes a fishing rod for Masha as well in order to entertain her and she immediately catches the Goldfish.

Bear is again forced out of a restful sleep when Masha rolls a huge snowball into his home. After a fun game of snowball toss, Masha and Bear come across some animal tracks. Bear does his best to explain what animals made which tracks, but Bunny is not making it any easier.

A very hungry pair of wolves (Sly and Silly) kidnap Masha to try and trade her for Bear’s fridge full of food. Nothing goes as planned when Masha’s curiosity again causes all sorts of trouble for the duo. Bear is not worried, knowing hat Masha is a real handful, and will likely find her way back to Bear’s house once the wolves grow tired of her.

A funny interpretation of the old fable about “the boy who cried wolf”. The Bear gives Masha a cell phone so that she will be safe. Masha’s repeated calls for trivial reasons result in the Bear not answering the phone when she does find herself in real danger.

It’s time to make home made jam, but Masha spoils Bear’s plan when she spills his pot of boiled preserves, leaving him with none to put in jars. Bear sets out looking for more fresh fruit, but comes back with an empty basket. Luckily Bear returns to find Masha has created some interesting jams of her own – which actually turn out to be very tasty.

Eager to learn how to skate like a pro, Masha wakes Bear to get his help teaching her how to skate. Getting a hibernating bear out of bed isn’t an easy task, though. With a bit of effort, Masha gets Bear down to the frozen lake where Lady Bear is already enjoying some alone time. Hopefully Bear and Lady Bear can help Masha learn the steps.

School is in session as Bear builds Masha a new desk and turns his home into a classroom. Being a teacher to an energetic young girl isn’t easy, but Bear does a very good job teaching Masha how to read and write. After taking a nap, Bear learns that leaving Masha alone with some tools might lead to a big surprise when he wakes up.

Bear and Bunny decide to grow some carrots in his garden. After Bunny eats some carrots before they are ready, Bear kicks him out of the garden. It’s hard work constantly watching out for Bunny, so a sleepy Bear asks Masha to help him play guard while he gets some sleep. Masha chases off the intruder, and Bear makes sure Bunny does not come back again.
