The Little Flying Bears

The series focuses on a rare species of little bears with wings that live in the magical forest in a utopian cooperative community. The little flying bears together with their friends, took on themselves the task to defend their forest from pollution. However, their efforts, very often, are disturbed by two weasels, Skulk and Sammy, who strive to pollute the forest. Every so often the weasels receive help from Slink the snake. The three always strive to find new ways to disturb the harmony of the forest but their plans are destroyed always by the bears. The bears are always attentive to the advice of the old bear, Plato (who is too old to fly) and his friend Ozzy the owl.

• Plato (voiced by Walter Massey): A wise old grey colored flying bear that serves as the head of the flying bear community and is the grandfather of all its bear cubs.

• Walt (voiced by Arthur Holden): A young male blue colored flying bear cub with lighter blue hair and orange wings. He is Tina's boyfriend.
