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 can relive it. Out of the four TV specials that were made, I really love the holiday specials, including this one, "The Berenstain Bears Meet Bigpaw" for Thanksgiving.
The story goes that around Thanksgiving, Papa Bear and the other bears in Bear Country 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 he saved them from falling off the mixed-nut tree. Will they convince 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 Bigpaw comes from the bird, then the turtle, and the hedgehog. And when the hedgehog told the gators of Sinister Bog, even they fled. 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.
