'The Berenstain Bears: The Complete Collection'
(5-Disc DVD / G / 2021 / PBS Kids)

Overview: It's time for fun-filled adventures with Brother and Sister bear! Watch all episodes of The Berenstain Bears series in one value-packed DVD set!

These 80 stories tell tales of getting along with others, caring for friends and family, working hard to succeed in school, and lots more!

From participating in a school talent show to flying a big red kite with Papa, children will love watching the many adventures Brother and Sister have in Bear Country each and every day!

DVD Verdict: For those not in the know, 'The Berenstain Bears' began as a children's literature franchise created by Stan and Jan Berenstain and continued by their son, Mike Berenstain; who assumed partial authorship in 2002, and full authorship in 2012 following Jan's death.

The books feature a family of anthropomorphic grizzly bears who generally learn a moral or safety-related lesson in the course of each story.

Indeed, since the 1962 debut of the first Berenstain Bears book, The Big Honey Hunt, the series has grown to over 300 titles, which have sold approximately 260 million copies in 23 languages.

Of course, as we know, 'The Berenstain Bears' franchise has also expanded well beyond the books, encompassing two television series and a wide variety of other products and licenses.

While enjoying decades of popularity and receiving numerous awards, the series has been applauded for portraying many tales of bravery, caring for others, and learning responsibility well beyond The Bears' young years.

Furthermore, 'The Berenstain Bears' is sensibly written to appeal to younger children (preschool and kindergarten age) and teach them values at the same time.

In this age of redundant stupidity in entertainment, parents need a show like this one to help illustrate how fair life should be, and give a firm footing to children, not overwhelm them with glitz, glam and gloss.

By keeping plots simple and allowing children to follow along at their level, this show simply teaches children how to be fair, consider other's feelings and have good sportsmanship.

These are core values which are not being taught to children at daycare dumps or underfunded public schools, in my humble opinion.

Here in 'Berenstain Bears: The Complete Collection' we get an incredible 17 hours of tales spread over 5 discs encompassing 80 singular episodes!

Included in this massively entertaining new collection, we have truly wonderful value for money with great variety in plots galore.

Indeed, overall, The Berenstain Bears is one of the only remaining children’s programs that have morals built in to the story as well as real-life problem solving.

In closing, 'The Berenstain Bears: The Complete Collection' is oh-so sweet and teaches multiple valuable lessons, just like the books. You cannot beat that price considering how many episodes there are either! Highly and most definitely recommended. This is a Full Screen Presentation (1.33:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
