The theme song as heard from PBS's new, 2002 animated version of The Berenstain Bears. It was performed by American country singer Lee Ann Womack. The intro was animated in Canada by Corus.
Sequence[]
The sequence begins with a full shot of the bear people that live in Bear Country and the treehouse zooms out. The treehouse was shot in black-and-white as a photograph. The family laughed at all of their photographs. The photograph of the family are riding bikes becoming colored and animated while Papa Bear turns the unicycle to the right and zig zags the unicycle side to side which means he is about to fall and his face goes close to the camera, meeting another family became colored and animated. Mama and Papa Bear watch their children play soccer. Brother Bear is kicking the ball, throwing and holding to his mother and seeing his father. The family is driving a car, meeting their another family member and Lizzy, splashing into mud. A dog rushes with Brother and Sister Bear while solving. Mama Bear is unpleasant to the treehouse's mud steps. While solving with a dog, Brother and Sister Bear watch their father mop the mud on the floor. The family as puppets are posing. The grandparents laughing and clapping into entertainment. The family puppeteers hugging. As the curtains close, the family guzzles down honey (hence the theme song's lyrics) and hula-hooping. The title appears and morphs into a textile.
Lyrics[]
Lee Ann:
Somewhere deep in Bear Country
Lives the Berenstain Bear family (family laughing)
They're kind of furry around the torso (bicycle bell ringing)
They're a lot like people, only more so
The bear fact is that
They're just like you and me
The only difference
Is they live in a tree
The Berenstain Bears
When things go wrong as things might do
The Berenstain Bears will find a way through
Mama, Papa, Sister and Brother
(laughter)
Will always be there for each other
The bear fact is that
They can be sweet as honey
Sometimes you'll find
They might be just plain funny
The Berenstain Bears
The Berenstain Bears
