Western Animation / Pompon Little Bear

Pompon Little Bear (Pompon Ours) is a French animated Preschool Show produced by Supamonks, based on the book series, The Bear by Benjamin Chaud. The series follows Pompon, a six-year-old (in bear years) who is mischevious, cheerful, and playful. But above all, he has an incredible and precious talent that his Best Friend Rita and his parents, Georges and Linette enjoy tremendously: he can add "extra" to the ordinary! Thanks to his imagination and creativity making him take thousands of detours, growing day-by-day becomes child's play.

The series premiered on France 5's Okoo block on December 19, 2020 (although episodes were readily available on France TV's site the month before). It has 39 7-minute episodes. One episode is currently available in English, and the pilot episode was dubbed as well; both can be viewed on Supamonks' site here.

You can listen to the absolutely soothing theme song here. The show bible can be found here.

Not to be confused with Little Bear, although Pompon was referred to as that in one of the books,
