History Animation / OurFriendXiongXiaoMi

* BearyFriendly: Xiao Mi the bear cub is quite friendly and is more than willing to help in whatever situation. He helped Ray the lion to get over his inability to roar properly, for one.

* DerivitaiveDifferentiation: The second season has an educational element ''Peppa Pig'' didn't have - teaching viewers how to draw animals.

* FreezeSneeze: In the first episode of ''A Little Artist Xiong Xiao Mi'', Xiao Mi and his friends are stranded on an iceberg and Ellie sneezes from how cold it is. Unfortunately, [[SneezeOfDoom her sneeze wakes up a walrus that was sleeping on the iceberg, causing it to hop around wildly]].

* HolidayEpisode: In the final episode of the original season, the characters celebrate Chinese New Year's, and Grandpa Tree has a surprise in store for them. [[spoiler: Said surprise happens to be that Zhi Peng, who left in the previous episode, has come back to celebrate the holiday with them.]]

* SneezeOfDoom: In the first episode of ''A Little Artist Xiong Xiao Mi'', the gang is on an iceberg in the South Pole and trying not to wake up a sleeping walrus. Xiao Mi's dog Beanie jumps on the top of the walrus and barks, putting him at the risk of waking up the walrus, but he jumps down... and then Ellie sneezes from how cold it is, causing the walrus to wake up and jump around wildly.

* PutOnABus: Zhi Peng decides to stay with his penguin friends in the South Pole in the penultimate episode, "Goodbye, Zhi Peng", and as such does not appear in the series finale which follows it.

* {{Expy}}:
** Xiao Mi is a bear with yellow fur who wears nothing but a shirt and likes to eat honey. [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Sound familiar?]]

** On a meta level, the show uses an art style greatly resembling that of ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig''.

* TheBusCameBack: Zhi Peng returns for ''A Little Artist Xiong Xiao Mi'' after having left at the end of the original series.

* ConspicuousCG: One episode is about Xiao Mi and Zhi Peng finding a tadpole in a puddle. Said tadpole is quite obviously a CGI model.

* FreezeSneeze: In the first episode of ''A Little Artist Xiong Xiao Mi'', Xiao Mi and hia friends are stranded on an iceberg and Ellie sneezes from how cold it is. Unfortunately, [[SneezeOfDoom her sneeze wakes up a walrus that was sleeping on the iceberg, causing it to hop around wildly]].

* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: All of the characters are anthropomorphic animals. Well, okay, not all of them, but the majority of characters are anthropomorphic animals, and the only human that ever appears is Santa Claus.

* FloatingLimbs: In ''A Little Artist Xiong Xiao Mi'', the Magic Brush has wings/hands that are not connected to his body (or head, in this case, as he's nothing but a head).

A few years after the original show ended its run, ''Our Friend Xiong Xiao Mi'' got a revival series called ''A Little Artist Xiong Xiao Mi'', where Xiao Mi now gets help from the Magic Brush to draw certain animals and other objects to help he and his friends resolve that episode's conflict. The revival series is intended to teach children how to draw said objects.

''Our Friend Xiong Xiao Mi'', also known as ''Our Friend Remy Bear'' in other regions, is a Chinese animated children's television series which was created by Xiong Xiaomi (Beijing) Culture Communication Co., Ltd. It aired as a segment on the children's show ''Zhi Hui Shu'' ("Tree of Wisdom"). The series began airing circa 2013 and ran for 52 episodes.
