'''''Goldie & Bear''''' is an AllCGICartoon series aired on [[Creator/DisneyChannel Disney Junior]] beginning in 2015. The series was actually first introduced on the network's mobile app before making the leap to television. The series is a twist on the traditional fairy tale of ''[[Literature/{{Goldilocks}} Golidlocks and the Three Bears]]'', the idea being that after Goldie broke Bear's favorite chair, they made up and became best friends. Together, they explore and play in Fairytale Forest, interacting with a hodge-podge of fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters, including TheBigBadWolf, the Literature/ThreeLittlePigs, Literature/LittleRedRidingHood and her grandmother, [[Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk Jack]] and the giant, Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, the little old lady who lived in a shoe and her children, Thumbelina and many others beside. There's one song per episode and the two usually end up getting into some kind of adventure or trouble, but everything works out [[HappilyEverAfter happily in the end]].

After ending up having to be rescued while trying to keep the Three Little Pigs from doing something supposedly unsafe, they come to realize they went overboard and amend the rules to say that the residents of Fairytale Forest can do all of the things that were banned before, so long as they make sure to be careful.

There's one song per episode and the two usually end up getting into some kind of adventure or trouble, but everything works out [[HappilyEverAfter happily in the end]].

!'''Goldie & Bear''' features examples of the following:

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: In "The Egg," the baby dragon, "Skippy," that hatches from the egg which Goldie & Bear discover barks, wags his tail, plays fetch, and otherwise generally behaves like a dog.
* AttendingYourOwnFuneral: In "Abraca-Cabbage," Goldie experiences essentially a sort-of G-rated version of this. While performing a magic show, one of her tricks was to turn herself into a cabbage. As she was supposedly turning herself back, a bird stole her magic hat, so she ran off to chase after it, leaving Bear to believe that she had become stuck as a cabbage and couldn't change back. At the end of the story, she wanders in on the eulogy that her friends are having for her, now that she's apparently doomed to spend the rest of her life as an inanimate cabbage. After listening to some touching words from Big Bad, she pretends that Bear's shouted "Abra-cabbage!" has brought her back, before revealing the truth.
* [[ADogNamedDog A Bear Named Bear]]: Bear, Goldie's best friend, of course. However, also see LastNameBasis below.
* BigBadWolf: This LighterAndSofter version of the Big Bad Wolf is voiced by Creator/JimCummings, just like the Big Bad Wolf in other more recent Disney productions. While he's trouble at times to both the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood, as well as the protagonists Goldie & Bear, he has a number of redeeming qualities as well.
* BlanketFort: In "Thumbelina's Wild Ride," Thumbelina builds one with Goldie and Bear when babysitting them. It's actually pretty posh.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Big Bad's real name is "Aloysius," but he warns the title characters to never tell anyone when they find out. They promise him that to them, he'll always be "Big Bad."
* ExpositoryThemeTune and TitleThemeTune: It tells us about how Goldie and Bear met up and includes their names (the title of the show) several times.
* FreeRangeChildren: Goldie, Bear and the others pretty much have the run of Fairytale Forest on their own. Their parents are apparently entirely unconcerned about there being any real danger within it that could trouble unsupervised children.
* GoodFeelsGood: This is the reason why Big Bad's brother, Phil, who used to be even worse than Big Bad, became good. He was planning to fill up the wishing well with sand, but ended up rescuing a family of mice that was trapped in the well and found to his surprise that it felt good. So he just kept being good.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain & JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The BigBadWolf, a.k.a. "Big Bad." Sure, he's regularly a pest to both the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood. However, he schemes are rarely effective and when they do work, he's often regretful. He's also shown several redeeming qualities, including being willing to try niceness and being apologetic and helpful after realizing that he's acted like a jerk.
* LastNameBasis: Bear's real first name is actually Jack. Bear is his last name. When he was little, he came to be known as "Baby Bear" and eventually the name stuck as just "Bear."
* NameAndName: It's ''Goldie & Bear'', a spin on the classic fairy tale of ''Literature/{{Goldilocks}}''.
* NoodleIncident: The events of the original tale of ''[[Literature/{{Goldilocks}} Goldilocks and the Three Bears]]'' are treated as a noodle incident within the series, with it only being mentioned that Goldie broke Bear's favorite chair. The premiere story is all about her trying to repair it in order to surprise him with it as a birthday present.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Golidlocks generally goes by "Goldie" and, as mentioned above, the BigBadWolf goes by "Big Bad" and has the real first name of Aloysius.
* PetBabyWildAnimal: In "The Egg," Bear wants to keep the dragon which hatches from the egg that he and Goldie found and it's not surprising, given its general behavior. (See AllAnimalsAreDogs above.) Eventually, Goldie convinces him that returning the dragon to his mother is for the best and they're rewarded with a [[DragonRider dragon ride]] from the mother.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Big Bad says "Guh-rowl" at least once. It can be seen/heard in the opening of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeYkkwVtR2M this music video]].
* YouCanTalk: In "A Fish Tale," after Bear catches the huge fish Big Bart, he celebrates by shouting that he caught him, to which Big Bart replies something like "Yeah, you caught me." Bear is immediately surprised that the fish can talk, since all of the small fish up to that point had been non-anthro.
