Heartwarming / We Bare Bears

"Hey guys, if we go down, we do it together."

---

Pilot

• Judging by their makeshift party hats and Panda's depressed mood during the birthday party because his girlfriend broke up with him and Grizzly and Ice Bear try to cheer him up by taking him (uninvited) to a kid's birthday party so that they can have fun and get his mind off of it. It's the thought that counts and even though he didn't enjoy the party, Panda moved on from her and his brothers cheered him on.
• The bears as cubs are adorable.
• A little boy runs up to Panda and hugs him while saying "I love you". Panda's smile just sells it.
• The whole reason Panda decided to stay was to get some ice cream cake. When Panda tried to get some ice cream, the same kid who hugged him took the last of the ice cream. Ice Bear, feeling bad for Panda, tripped the kid for it.

Season 1

Viral Video

• After Grizzly comes back home from a disheartening meeting with Nom Nom, Panda and Ice Bear cheer him up by showing him that not only has their video gotten some likes, but there's even a comment even if it is just spam. They then throw a party to celebrate.
  • A little earlier than that, Ice Bear gives Grizzly a soft hug then judo-flips him. It's his way of showing Grizz brotherly love while getting his "Don't ditch Ice Bear" point across.
• The couple seen at the beginning of the episode. They are on a picnic with each other and about to take a picture together...too bad Grizzly ruins the moment along with the picture.

Food Truck

• Oddly enough, the wildlife animals working together to get money to buy Ice Bear's calzones, even if it involves stealing from the humans, vending machines, and ATM machines.

Chloe

• The sequence of Chloe starting to bond with the Bears over the course of her study, set to the tune of "Raincloud Chill". First, Grizzly gives her a dumpling at a Chinatown restaurant, then they goof off with her at a store, then they pull her up onto the top of the stack so she can see a dragon dance, and finally Panda holds her hand when the train jostles her on the way back.
• The Bears' well meaning yet thoughtless attempt to make Chloe's report more exciting. And when they realize their attempt got Chloe in danger of failing they quickly interfere and confess everything to the teachers and students, while at the same time making Chloe's project a success and give her a passing grade.
• When the bears go up to defend Chloe, you can see Ice Bear helping Panda onto the stage.

Panda's Date

• Grizzly's affection for his little brothers is strong in this. He completely spazzes out during Panda's allergic reaction to eating a nut filled cookie, thanks Lucy for saving "their little baby" and even refers to Panda as his "little Pan-Pan".
• After Panda finally admits that he had a crush on Lucy, Grizz tells him that he and Ice Bear would have backed off if they had known; the three then have a group hug.
• Despite all the crud Panda put her through, Lucy was kind and patient enough to save his meal and bring it to him at the hospital so he could eat it after recovering from his peanut allergy. She even wrote "Get Well" on the container and drew a little allergic face on it.

Burrito

• The revelation about why Grizzly clung to the burrito so tightly. It turns out the burrito (while still wrapped in foil) reminded him of the safety band of the fireman who rescued him from a tall tree as a cub.
  • The music in the scene doubles as Tear Jerker, as well as seeing poor Grizz in such a natural state.
• While they may have not understood why Grizzly clung to the burrito, Panda and Ice Bear trying to get it away from him was only because they were trying to help him avoid becoming an insane hermit like other people who developed a strange clingy attitude to food products.
  • After the burrito is splattered after being struck by lightning, Panda tries to put the burrito back together to cheer up Grizzly. When that fails, they both realize that seeing Panda covered in burrito remains is causing Grizz to giggle, so they start a playful food fight with each other to cheer Grizz up, and it works. Then all three bears have a quick food fight and go back home happy.

Jean Jacket

• When the bears are running around town enjoying the jacket, Ice Bear can't help but smile and laugh and it's adorable to finally see Ice Bear as excited as his brothers.
• After a while of owning the jean jacket, the bears begin fighting over it. However, the second Grizzly and Ice Bear realize that Panda's been hit in the face and is now crying, they become horrified and stop fighting.
• The bears deciding that their bond as adopted brothers is more important than all the good luck the jean jacket has given them.
• After only a few seconds, Panda begins crying over losing Grizzly and says "I miss him so much!"
• Ice Bear comforting and stroking a crying Panda after Grizzly's alleged Heroic Sacrifice.
• The bears playing 'Ring-around-the-Rosie' with the jacket.

Nom Nom

• Grizzly has such a big heart that despite Nom Nom being a complete Jerkass and throwing him out of his limo, Grizzly still invites him into his home with open arms when Nom Nom lost his fame and fortune.
• Ice Bear looking out for his brothers by having his doubts about Nom Nom.
• Ice Bear, after falling into a pit, calculating where the mailman was and where he might fall and then catches him.
• Ice Bear rescuing his brothers (and even Nom Nom.)
• Ice Bear has an even bigger heart because despite what Nom Nom and his brothers put him through, he holds no grudges because he knows that Grizzly and Panda were simply trying to be good friends.
• Ice Bear's proud smile at the end of the episode.
  • Just the fact that Ice Bear has no problem cleaning the house and making fancy breakfasts for Grizzly and Panda every day. He really looks out for his big brothers.
    • It gets less heartwarming in "Losing Ice", where they both have become unappreciative of his cooking by ignoring the dinner he made for them, implying that they had forgotten that he saved them from Nom Nom.

Shush Ninjas

• When the bears failed to do their job as shush ninjas, and were walking outside sadly, a guy rudely shoved past Grizzly. Ice Bear was ready to get that guy, until Panda took Ice Bear's arm and shook his head gesturing, 'It's not worth it'. Ice Bear defeatedly listened, and they walked on with Panda's arms around Ice Bear's.
• The theater owner being genuinely grateful for the bears' help in trying to quiet the theater patrons. When he offers the bears a reward for calming the destructive crowd of children, they at first turn it down... and then decide that they just want to watch one movie by themselves in a private room.

My Clique

• When Chloe's classmates leave the tea shop and Chloe is feeling uncomfortable, Grizzly's first reaction is to ask Chloe if those girls are bullying her. The signs of Chloe acting shy or uncomfortable around the girls are possible signs of bullying to him and Grizz wanted to keep Chloe safe.
• "Ice Bear will make them like Chloe." (Seriously, these three are like fathers to her.)
• The normally aloof and brusque Ice Bear respectfully greeting and saying goodbye to Chloe's parents in Korean.
  • Before that, Chloe's mom notices that her daughter seems upset. She immediately goes to her daughter's eye level to ask what's wrong.
• It's subtle, but the fact that Chloe's dad trusts the bears to look after Chloe is very sweet.
• Even if their attempts do more harm than good, the bears only want Chloe to fit in, doing everything they can to make that happen.
• After Chloe has finally made some new friends, the bears nod off outside their cave, deciding not to interrupt. Once they wake up and somberly decide to clean up the mess, Chloe reveals herself, having stayed behind to help them out.
• And she thanks the bears for throwing the party to help her make friends and she gives hugs to Grizzly and Panda, and a Secret Handshake to Ice Bear. (This may be because "Ice Bear refuses praise" from "Shush Ninjas".)

Charlie

• As a Call-Back to "Panda's Date", Panda was autoedited out of a group photo with Lucy, and it turns out that they actually took a proper group photo together this time, with Pan-Pan in the center!
• Charlie apologizes for barging in and being rude after he just starts eating cheese puffs...and then spits them out.
• Despite his somewhat destructive nature, Charlie genuinely tries to be a gracious guest to the bears. When the bigfoot paparazzi start gathering around the house, Charlie actually apologizes to the bears for leading them here, and he didn't leave earlier because he'd finally made some friends.
• Grizzly in general trying to be a good host and offer much hospitality to Charlie despite the bigfoot's antics causing him and his brothers discomfort.
• Grizzly offers to make Panda a cup of coffee when he sees his brother in a bad mood due to having a rough night (by courtesy of Charlie).
• When the bears realize how miserable the paparazzi are making Charlie, they immediately try to drive them away. Even Ice Bear and Panda, who mostly saw Charlie as a pest up until that point.
• Ice Bear saying to Panda, "Ice Bear will protect you."
• While Charlie is pretending to be Panda's girlfriend, Panda ends up angrily listing Charlie's annoying habits and declaring "I hate her!" This causes a guilty Charlie to start crying, which makes Panda start crying too; they then hug and begin apologizing profusely to each other.
• When Charlie finally leaves, the bears pack a backpack for him and each give him a hug goodbye...even though it gets a little awkward for Charlie and Panda, and then they immediately lock the door in case he comes back.

Brother Up

• Panda and Charlie seem to be on much better terms now compared to the bigfoot's debut episode. They have an actual conversation where Panda explains that he feels like Grizzly is bossing him around; Charlie replies that Panda's lucky to have a big brother and wishes he had one, too.
• Grizzly and Panda making up at the end of the episode.
  • Particularly, the scene where Grizz wipes the tears from Panda's eye with his paw.
• Ice Bear coming in to help Panda, despite Panda's newfound assertiveness annoying him.
  Ice Bear: Ice Bear to the rescue.

Occupy Bears

• When Grizz thinks that there is an earthquake, he quickly runs to grab "only the essentials." The two things he grabs are rolls of toilet paper and Panda. He was going to grab Ice Bear too, but he was already hiding under a table.
• The final flashback of the episode, with the bears fixing up the old cave that would become their permanent home and Panda taking a group photo (the same group photo that saved the day) on his old flip-phone.
  • When they first find the cave and decide to take shelter in it for the night, the bears solemnly fall asleep while forming a group hug.

Panda's Sneeze

• When Panda angrily asks Ice Bear if he thought his sneeze was cute, Ice Bear just stares... and blushes.
• When Ice Bear gave Panda something to try and help him with his allergies, Panda said, "Thank you." This is really heartwarming, when you remember in "Nom Nom", Grizzly and Panda haven't once thanked Ice Bear for all the stuff he did. Also, Ice Bear didn't hold the thanks against Panda, when he said, in "Shush Ninjas", he "doesn't accept praise".
• Grizzly reassuring Panda that being cute still makes him cool in his eyes.
  • It's also Heartwarming in Hindsight when you realize that Grizzly could have gotten upset about Panda becoming Internet famous (something Grizz wanted in a previous episode)... but he doesn't.
• Ice Bear giving Panda a rose and telling him, "Ice Bear thinks you're precious."
• When everyone leaves after Panda's sneezing stops being cute, Grizzly and Ice Bear immediately go up to help him.
  Ice Bear: Ice Bear still proud of you. Proud bear.

The Road

• The entire episode. Seriously.
  • More specifically, Baby Grizzly and Baby Panda's voice actors are cute as a button.
  • Grizzly and Panda (and also Ice Bear) reuniting towards the end of the episode is also really sweet, especially since they had a feud for part of the episode.

Emergency

• When Grizzly and Panda find Ice Bear at the skating rink, they let him stay there for as long as he wants, despite their earlier desperation to find him. They know he's happy.
  • Later, when Ice Bear gets back home, his brothers set up everything so he can just relax after the exhausting ordeal he just went through.
  Ice Bear: Ice Bear is good.

Charlie and the Snake

• Grizzly continuing to show what a nice guy he is. Despite how they all find Charlie's company annoying and Panda and Ice Bear wanting to leave his "party", Grizzly was nice enough to stay and keep his brothers from leaving despite him also wanting to leave. When it gets dark and they finally do leave, Grizzly wrote a note on the ground to Charlie saying they left because it got dark and they had "fun".
• When searching for food to take back to the bears, Charlie rejects a jar of peanut butter because of Panda's allergy.
• Charlie bonding with the snake, and even making a little scarf for it out of moss. Makes it even more heartwarming when, at the end, the snake seems to reciprocate Charlie's friendship and lets him have its shed skin as a keepsake.
• The episode ending with Charlie climbing to the top of a tree and staring into the distance at the Golden Gate Bridge.
  TV Host: Scoping through the wilderness like a phantom, creeping stealthfully through the under brush, it's possible that the true nature of this hairy creature [Charlie] will never be known. But perhaps, just perhaps, there is something beautiful, something majestic in his solitude.

Video Date

• When Panda chokes on the video date, Ice Bear comes in disguised as him to make sure he's not embarrassed. Eventually, Grizzly does the same. While this does end up leading to the central conflict of the episode, both Grizz and Ice Bear were honestly trying to help him before falling in love with Celine themselves in the date. Keep in mind that while all Ice Bear has to do is paint himself black, Grizzly needs to bleach his fur white and then paint himself.
  Grizzly: I'd bleach myself again if I have to, because that is what brothers do!
• At the end, Celine decides she doesn't want to go steady with any of the bears, because she didn't want to come between them and said that they make a good team.

Pet Shop

• Despite the bears each finding the perfect owners for them, they decide they don't want to be separated and reunite with each other.
  • Grizzly even leaves an apology on the bottom of the pizza box lid next to him in the car.

Chloe & Ice Bear

• When making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the bears, Chloe stops herself from spreading peanut butter on Panda's sandwich remembering that Panda is allergic to peanuts and made just a jelly sandwich instead.
• When also writing the labels on the sandwich bags, Chloe also writes "Ice" on Ice Bear's- being the first character in the show, other than Ice Bear himself, to address Ice Bear by name.
• When Chloe learns that whenever Ice Bear is all on his own, he only does errands. She is determined to give him a good time, no matter what.
• Grizzly sending Chloe a video message to apologize for being unavailable, and he wishes her to have a great time with Ice Bear.
• Ice Bear giving Chloe a smile to let her know that he had good time which makes her smile back.
• The ending with Chloe and Ice Bear falling asleep in Chloe's mom's car was adorable.
• Chloe trusts Ice Bear enough to hide from the guard in his clenched jaws.

Cupcake Job

• While watching the zombie film, Grizz and Panda were sharing / huddled under a blanket.
  • Also, Ice Bear went out and made kettle corn, offering some to Grizz.
• Minor, but the bears are legitimately upset over the laptop being broken, with Panda even saying it was like another brother to them.
• When everyone is arguing over who potentially broke the laptop, Grizz puts a stop to it:
  Grizz: Ugh! All right, man. We lost one brother already, I'm not gonna lose another. Give me a hug. (hugs Panda) Okay.

Hibernation

• Why does Grizzly decide that he doesn't need to hibernate to be special?
  Grizzly: (to Panda and Ice Bear) Being with you guys is special enough for me.

Charlie Ball

• After Grizzly calls Charlie out for his ball-hogging behavior and the bigfoot leaves, Grizz immediately says he feels bad and wonders if he was too harsh.
• Ice Bear telling Panda, "Ice Bear believes in you."
• Even after Charlie was being a major Jerkass to them, the bears immediately go to defend him when the other players surround him with their camera phones.

• When the bears and Chloe all think there's something in the cave with them, Chloe clings onto Grizz and is crying. Grizz comforts her like a parent would when their young child is crying in a storm.
  Grizzly: Don't worry Chloe, it'll be alright.
• Mr. Park was so worried about Chloe, he was willing to drive through a very bad thunderstorm, when it was clearly advised that everyone stay indoors, to get her.
• What's more adorable than the bears and Chloe having a pillow fight? The bears, Chloe, and Mr. Park having a pillow fight.

Bear Cleanse

• Similar to the example in "Charlie Ball," Grizz immediately apologizes to Panda after snapping at him and says he's happy that Panda's getting so many likes on his pictures.
• The background of the episode features a subplot of Ice Bear being unable to eat his Doctor-Approved diet of Seal due to Cuteness Proximity. He eventually starts bonding with the fella, teaching it how to play basketball, panicking when the seal seems upset or possibly ill, and eventually releasing it into the bay so it can head home.
• The doctor herself who prescribes the titular cleanse to the bears is very supportive and kind, and even pulls back a little and tells them that they can simply eat more of their natural diets while pulling back on the human food when the full cleanse proves too taxing on their sanity.

Nom Nom's Entourage

• Grizzly mentioning that he always appears so confident because his brothers are such good friends to him.
• The montage of the bears teaching Nom Nom how to be a better friend. While he struggles at first, Nom Nom has a breakthrough when he holds the door open for the bears.
• While it looks as if part of Nom Nom's character growth was a lie, in the end when he is shown deleting pictures on his phone that he took with the bears, he can't bring himself to delete the last one.

Ranger Tabes

• The bears are at first put off by Ranger Tabes' intensity, but when she goes to the police station to report the malfunctioning drones, they see how little the cops think of her and how she just wants to do what's right. They decide to help Tabes recover the packages rather than just take the money that they wanted in the first place.
• The adorable Ship Tease between Tabes and Panda.

Rooms

• Although it leads to the main conflict of the episode, it shows just how much the brothers care about each other when Panda feels so bad about breaking the fridge that he's willing to trade rooms with Ice Bear because Panda has an air conditioner and he knows Ice Bear likes the cold only for Grizzly to then step in and take the fridge for Panda because he knows Panda has claustrophobia.
• Going through Panda's private files, Ice Bear eventually gets bored of all the embarrassing pictures of Panda and instead enjoys going through his collection of pictures of the three of them hanging out.
• Seeing the normally-deadpan Ice Bear give a small smile while looking at pictures of him and his brothers together.
• Grizz and Panda never intended to leave Ice Bear out from the baseball game; they even bought him a ticket. The only reason they went without him was because they couldn't find him.

Losing Ice

• Grizzly and Panda apologize to Darryl for forcing him to emulate Ice Bear...with mousepads.
• Grizzly and Panda apologizing to Ice Bear for being unappreciative of everything he does, and applauding his teppanyaki-making tricks.
  Grizzly: Hey man, we're really sorry we took you for granted. Look, I know sometimes it seems like we forget that you're there, but we really need you.
  Panda: Yeah, really need you. We're basically incompetent.
  Grizzly: Please come home, bro. We've been bad brothers, but now things will be different. Please?
  [Ice Bear twirls his knife, causing Grizzly and Panda to start clapping for him.]

The Island

• The friendship the baby bears form with Karla is adorable.
• While the song itself is sad and is a tearjerker, it was sweet when Karla sings the bears to sleep.
• Karla calling Ice Bear a "little jelly bean."
• It's implied in this episode that Grizzly and Panda taught Ice Bear to speak at some point.
• Panda running to Karla when he feels threatened, knowing she'd protect him.

Chicken and Waffles

• In the end, Panda is so grateful that Charlie spent all day helping him get to the restaurant despite his fear of the city that he decides to instead go on a picnic with him. Charlie's absolutely enormous smile clinches it.
• When the two have an argument in the sewer and Panda falls in the water, Charlie goes from royally ticked off to calling him "Pan-Pan" and diving in after him in an instant.

Captain Craboo

• Although Ice Bear is initially apprehensive towards Craboo (due to what happened between them in "Emergency"), he warms up to him when he notices Craboo imitating his movements.
  • By the end of the episode, Ice Bear seems to be the most reluctant to let Craboo go free.
• Why did Craboo pinch Nom Nom's ears? Because Nom Nom snapped at the bears and pushed Ice Bear to the floor.
• Craboo cuts up a piece of newspaper in a shape resembling the bears. It seems to be just a coincidence, but... in the end, Craboo ends up on an island (implied to be the one from "The Island") and is shown to be cutting up the local flora in the same shape, showing that it actually was intentional.

Baby Bears on a Plane

• Grizzly helping Todd Eagle get over his fear of flying.

  • After that, Yuri at first demands Ice Bear to leave his property, but then he sees that the hunters passing by are seeking to poach the poor defenseless cub after presumably killing his mother. Realizing that the baby polar bear was recently orphaned, Yuri relents and allows Ice Bear to stay with him, because he knows what it's like to lose family.
• The entire montage of Yuri raising Ice Bear and the two eventually bonding.
  • The episode is basically them getting back what they had both lost, a family, with Yuri genuinely accepting Ice Bear into his new life.
• Ice Bear carving Yuri a wooden horse in the memory of his late daughter. Unfortunately for Ice Bear, it soon evolves into a Tear Jerker when it ends up severely damaging his growing relationship with his Parental Substitute instead.
• Yuri goes back for Ice Bear to save him from the hunters despite Ice Bear angering him moments before, as he just couldn't leave him to die like his daughter had, especially after he started treating the cub as his own child.
• Yuri, in deep remorse of lashing out at Ice Bear for looking through his Tragic Keepsake and having to send him away after putting the cub in danger in the process, apologetically keeps the wooden horse Ice Bear made in remembrance of him.
  • And even more heartwarming, he places the wooden horse next to his partially broken family photo on his nightstand instead of hiding them away in his treasure chest, symbolizing his acceptance to open up about his past and choosing to remember Ice Bear as a true family member.

Icy Nights

• Despite Ice Bear's relationship with Yana the barista being on rocky terms, she can't help but still assist him in locating the techies' hideout after they steal his vacuum and offers him to stay with her for a while and catch up on their relationship.

• Charlie blushing as Panda paints him, cuddling the painting as he sleeps, dreaming of helping Panda with his laundry, telling him anything he makes is the best, and calling him "pumpkin" as he hugs him. Whether you're in the camp that thinks he has a crush or just really, really likes Panda as a person, his adoration of the guy saturates this episode.

Poppy Rangers

  Parker: Yeah, you're the coolest!
  Murphy: We want to be just like you.

Lucy's Brother

However, this episode shows that they're still good friends, with Lucy referring to them as her "favorite customers."

Ice Cave

• The episode opens with Charlie and the Bears having fun playing a board game together. Given how the Bears could hardly stand to be around Charlie in his early appearances, it's good to see they've all become such fast friends.
• Charlie offering to "pardon" Panda (whose character is stuck on a "jail" space) if he wins the game and becomes King of Frost Mountain is both amusing and touching.
• The thing that gets Charlie to finally stand up to Ralph is hearing Ralph talk down about the bears' flaws, showing that despite their questionable relationship, he still cares about them as closest friends. Doubles as a CMOA.

El Oso

• Coming off the heels of the previous episode, where Charlie reached out to Ranger Tabes for the first time, "El Oso" is centered around another one of Charlie's brief encounters with humanity over the years. The audience is shown again that, for all his faults, Charlie is a pretty nice bigfoot. He keeps his distance from humans, but he won't ignore those who need help. In this particular instance, on one of Charlie's adventures in the 1910's, he discovers a Mexican bandito suffering from heatstroke in a desert, stranded, so he carries him on his back for hours until he can find him some water and shelter.
• El Oso shows Charlie more loyalty and gratitude than you would expect from a bandito, and tries to protect Charlie from other, less friendly members of his gang.

Bubble

• The climax makes it clear that while Panda can't stand Charlie's annoying behavior and gross habits, he still values him a lot when he saves him from drowning from the bottom of the wasteland.

Band of Outsiders

• From the interquel flashbacks of "Yuri and the Bear" in the beginning and climax of the episode, it shows an extract of Ice Bear and Yuri's relationship, displaying that despite Yuri's Dark and Troubled Past, he doesn't let it get in the way of being a Good Parent to baby Ice Bear.
  • What's the first thing baby Ice Bear does when he thinks he saw Yuri again? Run up to cuddle him, showing that Ice Bear already misses him so much, he was willing to reunite and reconcile with him for the events of the previous episode. Unfortunately, it's not really him.
• The thing that snaps Ice Bear out from being completely corrupted by the titular gangster kids is seeing the baker who ostracized him revealed to be a Family Man, just like Yuri used to be, prompting a flashback revealing that Yuri encouraged him to always be a kind person in spite of the world being a dark and unkind place, as he didn't want Ice Bear to make the same mistakes he did.
  Yuri: You see, the world may be unkind to you, Malen'kiy, but it benefits no one to return unkindness with unkindness. Promise Yuri you will always be kind to others.
  Ice Bear: (nods in agreement)
  Yuri: (happily chuckles and pets Ice Bear's head in approval) Good, good.
• Despite Ice Bear turning against the gangster kids in the climax, they part on good terms when Ice Bear saves them from being arrested for ransacking the bakery.

Tabes & Charlie

• The entire episode. Ever since "Rescue Ranger", Charlie starts opening up to Tabes without fear about her species, and even helps her search for Kirk throughout the episode with no complaints nor discrimination, even calling her by her name at the end after getting it wrong many times and parting ways with a hug. He genuinely does consider her his first human friend.
• After Tabes finally reunites with Kirk (who has recently became an adult from the last time we saw him), it is revealed that he had started his own family with a wolf after being taken in by her pack.

Shorts

Bear Cleaning

• In the "Bear Cleaning" short, as well as funny, it also felt heartwarming, when Panda and Ice Bear took multiple selfies together, (with Grizz's fur clump) and having fun. It felt heartwarming, because it felt like Ice Bear was trying to cheer Panda up (mission accomplished), considering Panda's normally a worry wart, and he had that horrified look on his face just seconds earlier.
