The Berenstain Bears Meet Bigpaw

The Berenstain Bears TV specials and the original book series were part of my childhood. So is the 1985 TV series and thanks to YouTube I relive it. Out of the four TV specials that were made, I really love the holiday specials including this one "The Berenstain Bears Meets Bigpaw" for Thanksgiving.

The story goes that around Thanksgiving, Papa Bear and the other bears in Bear Country had received word from a bird, a turtle and a hedgehog that Bear Country's Thanksgiving legend is coming true - Bigpaw is coming! Now the bears prepare for battle. But Brother and Sister Bear had met the gigantic Bigpaw after saving them from falling off the mixed-nut tree. Will they convince the others that Bigpaw means no harm? Well, you'll have to watch it on YouTube; if it's still there that is.

I really love the entire special. But my favorite scene is where the word that Bigpaw is coming goes from the bird, then the turtle and the hedgehog. And when the hedgehog told the gators of Sinister Bog, even they flee. I also love Bigpaw's song, and you know it stinks that this Thanksgiving favorite is the only Berenstain Bear TV special that is not on DVD; I wish it was.

So anyway, my last word is that I love this special, and as I said it's a Thanksgiving favorite. And I really wish it was on DVD.
