open/close all folders
Major Characters
Bear
Performed by: Noel MacNeal
The titular Bear in the big blue house, a very warm-hearted and easygoing bear.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: He's an orange bear.
- Beary Friendly: One of the most triumphant examples. He's a bear and one of the most amicable characters.
- Catchphrase: "What's that smell?! Oh, it's you! You know, you smell like X today. Or maybe you smell this good all the time."
- Deadpan Snarker: In a gentle, friendly way, he often shows a dry sense of humor, which is played up in his appearances on The Hollywood Squares.
- A Dog Named "Dog": A bear named Bear.
- Friend to All Children: He's very good with kids, which helps in a houseful of kids.
- Funny Animal: He walks around upright and can talk.
- Gentle Giant: He's enormous and very gentle.
- Nice Guy: Eeyup. He never gets angry and is just so warm and friendly he's incapable of saying no to anybody. And yet he's not an Extreme Doormat.
- The Nose Knows: Has a strong sense of smell.
- Parental Substitute: He's a father figure to all the others who live in or frequently visit the Big Blue House.
- Stock Animal Diet: He loves honey and berries like most fictional (and real life) bears.
- Trademark Favorite Food: He loves berries, particularly his triple-berry pie. Also, cooked and buttered string beans.
Tutter
Performed by: Peter Linz
A blue mouse who loves cheese and has a tendency to worry and fret.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: A blue mouse.
- Catchphrase:
- "Thank you, Bear!"
- "It may be little to a big old bear like you, but to a mouse..."
- "A mouse has to do things for himself in this world."
- Civilised Animal: He uses the bathroom, talks, and eats from plates, yet he also lives in a mouse hole and eats cheese and bran.
- Large Ham: Despite being the smallest character on the show, he can be this. For example, there's his freak-out in the episode "Friends For Life"...
"How many times - HOW MANY TIMES do I have to say it, Treelo?! I! AM NOT! A SNOW BEAR! I! AM A MOUSE! TUTTER THE MOUSE!"
- Neat Freak: Tutter strives to tidy up anything he can. He even gets a song about it called "Why Can't the Dirt Just Leave Me Alone?".
- Nervous Wreck: Tutter often tends to be somewhat more tightly wound than the other characters, often getting upset or worked up over minor things and having to be reminded by Bear to calm down and breathe, or to take quiet time. When he first learns that he's going to school, he ends up getting so worked up over it that Bear and his new teacher have to correct the false assumptions he's built up over it. When he actually gets to school, Bear has to remain outside the school building for quite a while before he becomes comfortable enough for Bear to leave.
- Nice Mice: He is very friendly towards Bear and the other residents of the Big Blue House.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Listening to Tutter's voice, particularly during the first few episodes, he sounds an awful lot like Spike Jones of Spike Jones and The City Slickers (specifically, the voice he used for "All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth").
- Stock Animal Diet: Like a typical fictional mouse, he likes cheese. In fact, he's had a recurring dream about being a king and demanding more cheese.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Cheese is one of his defining favourite snacks, being a mouse and all.
- Vague Age: His age is a mystery: He has his own mouse hole, which is kind of like living alone, but then again it's connected to the rest of the house. He has his own First Day of School Episode, which logically puts him at around five or six, but maybe mice start their education as adults. And in "When You've Got to Go", he has to learn about not procrastinating with bathroom breaks, yet is able to play checkers, which is a relatively sophisticated game, competently.
Treelo
Performed by: Tyler Bunch
An excitable young lemur who enjoys swinging from vines.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Green with some white and blue in there. How many lemurs do you know that share his color scheme?
- Catchphrase: Oddly enough, his catchphrase is his own name.
- Keet: He's very active and upbeat.
- Third-Person Person: He sometimes speaks in third person.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Bananas, to the point where he tries to make them as the only food on a picnic.
- The Unintelligible: While he could talk normally (though even this could be hard to understand), he sometimes descended into a rapid-fire and definitely unintelligible babble that closed-captioning sometimes transcribed as being "Treelo-ese."
- You No Take Candle: He sometimes speaks in primitive grammar.
Ojo
Performed by: Vicki Eibner
A bear cub with a strong imagination.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: She's a red-orange bear.
- Beary Friendly: Not as much as Bear, but still very friendly.
- Catchphrase: "No, no, no, no, no, Bear. This isn't X. This is (whatever thing she's imagining at the moment)."
- Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She's almost always seen with her stuffed "snow bear".
- Not a Morning Person: "Morning Glory" shows that she can be a bit cranky first thing in the morning and needs time to wake up.
Pip and Pop
Minor Characters
Luna
Ray
Shadow
Performed by: Tara Mooney (Voice), Peter Linz (Puppeteer)
A living shadow that tells Bear stories (sometimes partly in song), which are acted out by shadow puppets.
- Catchphrase: "When you need another story, just try and catch me!"
- A Dog Named "Dog": A shadow named Shadow.
- Invisibility: Shadow is able to turn invisible at will. Usually, Bear will hear her laughing while she's invisible, prompting him to sing a song to try to get her to appear.
- Living Shadow: Not only is Shadow one, but all of her stories are told as shadow plays.
- Rhymes on a Dime: Her stories tend to be poems, many of which are Nursery Rhymes.
- The Storyteller: Shadow loves to tell stories.
- The Trickster: She's got a mischievous streak, and especially enjoys appearing and disappearing at will.
Doc Hogg
Jeremiah Tortoise
Performed by: Jim Kroupa
An elderly tortoise. He serves as the postman for Woodman Valley and also runs the general store. He is notorious for taking forever to deliver the mail.
- Forgetful Jones: Jeremiah often forgets things and often stops in mid-sentence because he can't remember what it was that he was saying. Other times, he will repeat greet someone a second time after having just greeted them.
- Snail Mail: He is a tortoise who delivers the mail in Woodland Valley. You can see how this can go wrong. It's not unusual for stuff to take ages to arrive, and woe be those who get a wrong package because of his forgetfulness, forcing a redelivery.
