14	''Boonie Bears'' (熊出没, ''Xióng Chūmò'', "Roaming Bears") is a Chinese AllCGICartoon produced by Fantawild Animation and starring two bears, Briar and Bramble, who continuously try to stop Logger Vick from cutting down trees in their forest. Vick constantly tries to carry out his job as a woodcutter, only to be hilariously outwitted by the bears.

38	----
39	!!''Boonie Bears'' contains examples of:
40	* FiveFiveFive: In the English version of Season 2 episode 1, Logger Vick calls the number 555-8111 to make money off having the forest destroyed and its land used for a new company that's going to be built.
41	* AcrophobicBird: One shows up in Season 9 episode 36, mesmerized by a pair of bird celebrities but unable to fly himself. The avian eventually gets over it with help from his bird idols.
42	* AgitatedItemStomping: In the first episode of Season 4, Logger Vick gets frustrated after being unable to cut down a cherry blossom tree with his chainsaw, and he angrily stomps the chainsaw to the point that its blade becomes deformed.
43	%%* AllCGICartoon
44	* AlliterativeTitle: '''B'''oonie '''B'''ears.
45	* {{Bowdlerize}}: In Season 4 episode 1, Logger Vick lets the animals play a game of passing a drink from a wine jar around, but Bramble says drinking is not good and Logger Vick assures them it's filled with juice instead. The English version removes any reference to it being a wine jar, leaving it at just "it's filled with juice".
46	* CatapultNightmare: In Season 3 episode 30, Tiki has a nightmare where some force steals his crown, and he wakes up jolting upright.
47	* CatsAreMean: {{Zig Zagged\|Trope}}. Babian helps his owner, Logger Vick, to achieve his plans. However, he sometimes helps Briar and Bramble.
48	* CombiningMecha: Not in the show itself, but the company Lingdong produced a toy based on the series that consists of Briar, Bramble, and Logger Vick's truck, which can all be assembled into a large mecha-looking thing.
49	* CompanyCameo:
50	** Logger Vick's Swiss army flag in ''The Adventurers 2'' has series company Fantawild Animation's logo, a square with multiple colors and a T in white, on the actual flag.
51	** In ''The Adventurers 2'' episode 35, wondering what would happen if he found the monster said to be nearby the forest, Logger Vick imagines he is being interviewed by multiple news reporters, one holding a microphone with Fantawild's logo on it.
52	* CreativeClosingCredits: The end credits of Seasons 4-7 show multiple animations of the characters, some of them directly interacting with the credits text (such as Logger Vick running into it, for example).
53	* DisneyDeath: In ''The Adventurers 2'' episode 36, the flight-fearing bird falls and his bird idols break the news to the bears that he's... all right and flying, but in a way that initially makes it look like he's dying.
54	* DoubleDoubleTitle: "Honey, Honey", the fourth episode of Season 2.
55	* DreamIntro: Season 3 episode 30 begins with Tiki having a nightmare where his crown starts to float off his head. As he tries and fails to pull it back down, a giant hand appears and heads straight for him, presumably after the crown, before he wakes up.
56	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Typically, a character says the name of the episode during the episode's title card, a feature associated enough with the series that it got carried over into the spin-off ''Boonie Cubs''. However, this wasn't established until Season 3, and before then the title cards had no sound at all.
57	* EatTheBomb: In episode 3, after his attempt to hurt the bears with apples laced with spicy sauce doesn't work, Logger Vick gives them more apples, this time laced with bombs. Some of the bombs explode inside Bramble's stomach before Briar realizes what's going on and triggers one of the bombs before eating the apple it's in, leaving both bears with ashes all over them.
58	* EpisodeTitleCard: The episode titles are displayed on a simple black screen. Starting in Season 3, a character says the name of the episode.
59	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the first episode, Logger Vick first appears driving into the forest in a truck and talking about how the forest will "look like a parking lot" by the time he's done with it, telegraphing to the viewers that he's an employed logger who intends to cut down some trees.
60	* ExplodingCalendar: One briefly appears in Season 3 episode 34 when the bears help Logger Vick to exercise and gain more muscle over the span of several days.
61	* ExposedAnimalBellybutton: Tiki the monkey has one.
62	* FamilyTitle: The series is called ''Los Hermanos Boonie'' ("The Boonie Brothers") in Spanish.
63	* FlyingCarpet: In the Season 2 intro, the bears are seen flying on a carpet as Logger Vick is chasing them. Vick blows fire onto the carpet to destroy it.
64	* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: In Season 7 episode 9, Logger Vick is picked to receive a large cash award and uses it to deck out his house with fancy decorations and buy a golden car. However, his credit loan becomes too large and the stuff he purchased is repossessed at the end of the episode, leaving him as poor as he was originally.
65	* FreezeSneeze: In Season 5 episode 39, it's so cold outside that Logger Vick sneezes a few times as he settles down in his chair and turns on his television.
66	* GameShowAppearance: In Season 5 episode 35, Logger Vick is scheduled to make an appearance on a quiz show and gets help from the bears to memorize as much trivia as possible to maximize his chances of winning the cash prizes.
67	* GreenAesop: The show's about two bears who stop a logger from cutting down their forest. There's definitely an environmental-based moral there.
68	* HitFlash: Used whenever a character gets hit ''very hardly''.
69	* HumanSnowball: In Season 5 episode 47, Logger Vick trips and falls over the edge of the ground as he is running away from a monster, and he rolls into a large snowball that hits a rock and disintegrates near his tent.
70	* HurtFootHop: In episode 8, Logger Vick kicks rocks as he walks along a path, but one he hits is too large to be sent flying by his kick and he ends up hopping in pain and holding his hurt foot.
71	* IWillShowYouX: In Season 7 episode 9, Vick gets frustrated at the bears for taking his chainsaw, and when one of them apologizes, Vick starts to chase them, telling them "I'll show you sorry!"
72	* IconicSequelCharacter: Tiki and Babu are advertised to be major supporting characters alongside the woodland animals, so it can be weird watching the first season and realizing they're not there. They debuted in the second season, ''Boonie Bears or Bust''.
73	* LoveTriangle: Briar and Bramble both vie for the affections of a red bear named Natasha. Natasha sees them as just friends.
74	* MagicalFlutist: In Season 2 episode 10, Tiki and later Logger Vick come across a flute that has a switch on it with two settings, a sun setting and a moon setting, and use it to their advantage, with the latter attempting to stop the bears with it. When played on the moon setting, the flute causes anyone in hearing range besides the person playing it to fall asleep; when played on the sun setting, it causes them to become feral and attack others.
75	* NewSeasonNewName: All seasons beyond the first one are given unique names.
76	** Season 2 is ''Boonie Bears or Bust''.
77	** Season 3 is ''Forest Frenzy''.
78	** Season 4 is ''Spring Into Action''.

85	* OdeToFood: The second end credits theme has a bear singing about how much they like honey and prefer it over all other foods.
86	* TheOwlKnowingOne: Averted with Hoo Hoo. Instead of being a wise owl like usual, he's lazy and will often try to sleep while flying.
87	* PaperThinDisguise: The bears often wear disguises so that Logger Vick won't be able to recognize them, and they tend to work despite the fact that those are ''very'' obviously just bears in snazzy or flimsy outfits.
88	* {{Portmanteau}}: The sixth season is titled ''Sunsational Summer'', using a portmanteau of the words "sun" and "sensational".
89	* PrimalChestPound: In Season 4 episode 4, Briar and Bramble let out some roars before they chase after Logger Vick, with Briar in particular beating his chest like a gorilla with one of his roars.
90	* PunBasedTitle: The titles of Seasons 4, 5, and 6, all but one of the four seasons-themed seasons.
91	** Season 4 is titled ''Spring Into Action'', using the word "spring" to mean both the season known as spring and to jump or leap into action.
92	** Season 5 is titled ''Snow Daze'', a pun on the term "snow days".
93	** Season 6 is titled ''Sunsational Summer'', using a portmanteau of the words "sensational" and "sun".
94	* QuarterHourShort: The standard episode length is somewhere around 10 to 13 minutes long.
95	* RedEyesTakeWarning: In Season 2 episode 10, those who are within hearing range of the magic flute when it's played on the sun setting become violently aggressive, with their eyes turning red to indicate this.
96	* ScrewballSquirrel: Warren, a goofy squirrel who sometimes assists Briar and Bramble's efforts to stop Vick.
97	* SeasonalBaggage: ''Boonie Bears'' took the fourth-to-seventh TV seasons literally and has each season take place in one of the four seasons. ''Spring into Action'', ''Snow Daze'', ''Sunsational Summer'', and ''Autumn Awesomeness''.
98	* SecondPersonAttack: In the first episode, "A New Neighbor", the camera very briefly shows Briar from Logger Vick's point of view as the former is about to punch the latter.
99	* ShoutOut: In the English version in particular, as it adds a number of pop-culture references where the Chinese version didn't have any.
100	** In episode 2, one of the bears refers to Vick as a "scrawny little wannabe WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd" after he captures their bird friend.
101	** At the beginning of episode 3, Vick can be heard singing "Do-Re-Mi" from ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic''. [[CulturalCrossReference This one is present in the original Chinese script as well.]]
102	** In episode 8, Logger Vick shows disdain at not being able to find the bears, saying it's like chasing after "[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles teenage mutant ninja bears]]".
103	** In Season 2 episode 2, Briar sings "[[Music/QueenBand We Are the Champions]]" after he wins a sports game against Bramble.
104	* SickEpisode: In Season 4 Episode 4, Logger Vick panics after having come into contact with Hoo Hoo the owl, remembering that the television was playing a news report earlier explaining that there's an outbreak of bird flu going around. Logger Vick does indeed get sick, but as usual he's forced to keep working by Boss Li. [[spoiler:Thankfully, he learns at the end of the episode that the illness he has isn't bird flu, but a common cold.]]
105	* SingleTaskRobot: In Season 7 episode 12, Logger Vick purchases a vacuum robot to clean his room. The robot becomes an annoyance when he realizes it will attempt to clean any gunk it finds on anyone's clothes or skin. Later, the bears find Logger Vick has left the robot out in the open and it cleans up their trash, only to do the same "clean up gunk on the nearest persons" routine on the bears.
106	* {{Slapstick}}: The series utilizes a lot of slapstick humor, [[ButtMonkey Logger Vick]] usually being the target.
107	* TheSongRemainsTheSame: At least one English dub keeps the theme song in Chinese.
108	* SynchronizedSwarming: In Season 2 episode 12, Bramble attempts to grab some honey straight from the beehive and angers the bees inside it. The bees fight him by forming into the shape of a sword and attacking him, with Bramble fighting back by using the bamboo stick he had on hand as a sword of his own.
109	* TakeThat: In the first episode's English dub, when Logger Vick sees Bramble for the first time, he shelters in his car and tells the bear that he's got a Music/JustinBieber CD and he isn't afraid to use it to defend himself. It's implicated he probably intends to subject the bear to his music to annoy him.
110	* VSign: Tiki briefly gives one to the "camera" in Season 2 episode 12 after his part of the plan to stop Logger Vick and save Bramble, which involves using a large net in the road to block his truck, works.
111	* WaterWakeUp: In Season 4 episode 4, the bears splash a bucket of water onto Logger Vick to wake him up, only for Vick to complain about the water being too cold.
112	* WireDilemma: In Season 3 Episode 10, Bramble gets a bomb glued to his hand and Briar must disarm it before it explodes. There are three wires on the bomb, one red, one yellow, and one blue; Briar cuts the red one, causing the countdown to plummet from two minutes and fifteen seconds to ten seconds, but then he cuts the yellow one and actually stops the bomb.
113	* WorkingThroughTheCold: In Season 4 episode 4, Logger Vick is forced to continue to chop down trees by Boss Li, who completely disregards the fact that he's sick and needs rest.
114	----
115	!! The films contain examples of:
116
117	[[foldercontrol]]
118
119	[[folder:General]]
120	* AnimationBump: The animation, besides the TV movies, is way better rendered than in the TV series, complete with lush SceneryPorn.
121	* AwardBaitSong: Several. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UtUKTfI16o "Never Any Distance"]] from ''A Mystical Winter'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLHkwSb9RIg "Dream Chaser"]] from ''The Big Top Secret'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hokEDFX6ERk "To Be Free and Unafraid"]] from ''Entangled Worlds'' / ''Fantastica''. Typical uplifting {{Power Ballad}}s meant to win that Oscar, though "Dream Chaser" is more upbeat.
122	* BigDamnMovie: Definitely. With the films having more plot than just "bears protect forest from logger" hijinks, they carry more dramatic moments while still having the show's silliness. They also tend to have more fantastic premises as explained in DenserAndWackier below.
123	* DenserAndWackier: While ''To the Rescue'', ''III'' / ''The Big Top Secret'', and the TV films are mundane as the series themselves, the other films are most fantastic, edging to giant magical polar bears to {{Alternate Tooniverse}}s and a LostWorld of strange creatures to a ShrinkRay to TimeTravel to {{Animorphism}} and genetic engineering.
124	* GratuitousEnglish:
125	** The ''Entangled Worlds'' version of [[AwardBaitSong "Free and Afraid"]] has "To be [[TitleDrop free and unfraid]]" repeatedly sung in English.
126	** In the original Chinese version of ''Blast to the Past'', Vick says "Music" in English when the GoodTimesMontage starts.
127	* ScienceFantasy: Ultimately the genre the fantastic films end up in. ''Entangled World'' has the Tech Boss having developed sci-fi technology to access fantasy {{Alternate Tooniverse}}s and ''Blast Into the Past'' has fantastic PrettyButterflies {{Time Travel}}ing the heroes to the equally fantastic past.

140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:''Entangled Worlds'' / ''Fantastica'']]
143	* AlternateTooniverse: The film suggests that the ''Boonie Bears'' universe is one, since the BigBad is an intelligent boss who sends a TerribleTrio of humans to raid {{MacGuffin}}s from animated universes.
144	* TheCameo: The beginning has '''[[Literature/JourneyToTheWest THE MONKEY KING!]]''' And his staff getting stolen. (He gets it back at the end though.)
145	* DisneyDeath[=/=]HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Coco, badly damaged, lets herself detach her hand clasping the shell[[note]]which is used to command the Golden Antlers to come to life[[/note]] and falls to her destruction. However, when Fantastica is restored, Coco [[BackFromTheDead comes back good and new.]]]]
146	* EducationMama[=/=]FantasyForbiddingParent: [[spoiler:It is revealed that the Tech Boss as a child, wasn't allowed access to entertainment and fun and his parents enforced education on him (a TakeThat to the Asian tiger mom phenomenon), such as forcing to spend night hours on homework and hiring private tutors. This led to him as an adult to raid {{Animated Tooniverse}}s just to live the childhood he wanted. At the climax, the [[TheMarvelousDeer Golden Deer]] go through him and reverse his sad backstory, thus changing him to rethink what he has done]].
147	* LostWorld: The bears, Logger Vick, and Coco come across such one, Fantastica, which was hinted of on a cave painting. It carries many fantastical creatures with a human guardian.
148	* TheMarvelousDeer: The Golden Deer, whose prized Antlers serve as the CosmicKeystone for Fantastica. [[spoiler:The Deer can also change characters' backgrounds for mystical reasons.]]
149	* MediumBlending: The [[RealLife real world]] is depicted in live-action, compared to the {{All CGI\|Cartoon}} {{Alternate Tooniverse}}s.
150	* RobotBuddy: Coco is this to her owner and later Logger Vick and the bears.
151	* ShoutOut: A [[Franchise/StarWars Stormtrooper mask]] and what looks like assorted ''Star Wars'' ships can be seen in the Tech Boss's hideout, alongside ''ComicBook/IronMan''-esque gloves.
152	[[/folder]]
153
154	[[folder:''The Big Shrink'']]
155	* ShrinkRay: Vick shrinks the bears with one he received from a friend, but gets shrunken along with them.

157
158	[[folder:''Blast into the Past'']]
159	* ActionGirl: The cavepeople tribe leader is a nearly NubileSavage female who can kick lots of butt, being able to deliver MetronomicManMashing and throw Vick and then Bramble up to TwinkleInTheSky, and can handle (most of) the BrutishBulls and SavageWolves.
160	* AllCavemenWereNeanderthals: The cavepeople act in a stereotypical manner, being strong fighters who are also dumb, such as being freaked out over a ''[[FauxHorrific caterpillar]]'' (and hitting each other thus) and going into chaos over [[SeriousBusiness Vick's phone running out of battery]], with the exception of their ActionGirl leader. They're capable of [[EternalEnglish speaking Chinese though]].
161	* AnachronismStew: The visitors find in the cave paintings bicycles and Arabic numbers 999 and as the result, dismiss the paintings as forged. It turns out this was {{invoked}} by Vick, who {{Time Travel}}ed to the Stone Age and [[GivingRadioToTheRomans introduced modern conveniences to the cavepeople]].
162	* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:That ButtMonkey caveman who keeps unsuccessfully trying to woo the leader? He is able to block a meteor with his fist, ''smashing it into pieces with little damage on his hand'', successfully winning her heart.]]
163	* ChekhovsVolcano: A volcano is shown as the background in the beginning. It erupts around the climax, hurling tension-raising meteors at the heroes. It apparently caused the Ice Age.
164	* DeathByOriginStory: [[spoiler:Brewha's BigBrotherMentor was killed by falling rocks when he saved her from those.]]
165	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Brewha seemingly makes a HeroicSacrifice when she rams the alpha wolf [[DisneyVillainDeath off the cliff]] and falls off [[TakingYouWithMe along with him]]. After plenty of mourning from Briar and [[AntagonistInMourning even the wolves]], the dust clears and it turns off she survived by hanging onto a branch.]]
166	* DisneyVillainDeath: On the other hand, [[spoiler:the alpha wolf is killed by being pushed off the cliff by Brewha and falling to his death off-screen]].
167	* DubNameChange: Brewha's Chinese name is Fei Fei.
168	* GiganticAdultsTinyBabies: Those teeny tiny panda cubs, smaller than Briar's foot, have a humongous giant panda father who is ''way'' bigger than Brair.
169	* GoodScarsEvilScars: The alpha wolf has a pink scratch scar over his face, meant to show he is evil.
170	* HollywoodPrehistory: The film is set in the fantastic interpretation of the Stone Age, with usual prehistoric mammals like woolly mammoths, sabertooth cats, and cavepeople co-existing fantastic elements such as {{speedy\|snail}} giant jeweled turtles, a [[GiantFlyer giant colorful bird]], and a magical bamboo forest.
171	* InMediasRes: The film starts out panning over the Stone Age and then shows Briar, Bramble, and Vick trapped in a log and accidentally intimidating a warthog calf, bringing over her [[FullBoarAction brutish big family]]. Then it shifts back to 1 hour ago for them to tell how they were sent back in time.
172	* MammothsMeanIceAge: The film, after showing the warthog calf first, then pans to the woolly mammoths letting you know the story's gonna take place in the era of the Ice Age, the Stone Age.
173	* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: Instantaneous Time Travel variant. TimeTravel occurs with Briar, Bramble, and Vick when Bramble touches a magical {{Pretty Butterfl\|ies}}y, which opens up a [[OurWormholesAreDifferent wormhole]] and lets out more butterflies that zap the trio back into time.
174	* PintsizedPowerhouse:
175	** The little warthog calf. Despite being only a small calf, she can charge up to and throw up many large animals (except for Bramble) into the sky.
176	** [[spoiler:When Brewha TakesALevelInBadass. She is able to ram up several bigger wolves despite being a small pup.]]
177	* PlotArmor: Briar, Bramble, and Vick are somehow able to survive falling off a cliff and from great heights, [[spoiler:but not the cavepeople tribe, Brewha (both implied), and [[DisneyVillainDeath the alpha wolf]]]]. along The former three being the main characters may be the reason, as well as the FirstLawOfTragicomedies.
178	* PrettyButterflies: The magical glowing blue butterflies of time and space, which {{Time Travel}}s the bears and Vick to the Stone Age when touched.
179	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The warthog calf who tries to prove herself strong, Brehwa the little blue wolf pup, and of course those SidekickCreatureNuisance panda cubs.

181	* SidekickCreatureNuisance: Those teeny tiny panda cubs who keep messing with Briar and never get away from him. They even team up to drag onto his legs and move him around!
182	* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Brehwa starts out with this characterization: a smart-talking wolf pup who serves as the StraightMan to Briar. Then CharacterDevelopment starts.
183	* SpeedySnail: The giant turtles with jeweled shells. They're able to run as fast a cheetah!
184	* TimeTravel: Thanks to the [[OurTimeTravelIsDifferent magical]] PrettyButterflies, Briar, Bramble, and Vick are sent back to the Stone Age.
185	* WouldHurtAChild: The SavageWolves don't resist hunting a human child down for a snack. [[spoiler:The alpha wolf doesn't mind pushing Brewha to her death, though slowly.]]

189	* {{Animorphism}}: The main shtick of the plot. The technological wonderland of Wild Land provides bracelets which [[LEGOGenetics modifies the genes]] of the wearer to transform them to any animal they want to be, albeit bipedal and still sentient.
190	* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Leon designed Phoenix to keep visitors happy. And by creating the signal that enables the technology to help humans feel comfortable in their [[{{Animorphism}} animalistic]] skin, it accomplished that much. The problem is, Phoenix sees fit that humans are much happier while stuck as these bestial creatures [[ExactWords because their lack thereof sapience helps them forget the things that make them unhappy]].]]
191	* LiarRevealed: [[spoiler:Victor doesn't take it well when he learns that Leon was using him to allegedly steal information from the company. He later learns his anger was misplaced when it's revealed Leon intended to sabotage the company so others would avoid the same fate as those previously [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity affected]] by the bracelet.]]
192	* MixAndMatchCritters: The bracelet's wearer can transform into a mixture of animals if necessary, such as a lion with goat horns and giant wings. When the bracelet GoesHorriblyWrong, it transforms the wearer into uncontrollable, monstrous animal hybrids.
193	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:Victor learns from Leon's diary that Leon's young daughter has been dead for quite a while.]]
194	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The bracelet's side effect when it GoesHorriblyWrong is turning its wearer [[UnstoppableRage completely ferocious]] without any shed of human sentience left.
