Ep 13. Charlie

Charlie is the thirteenth episode of the first season of the animated television show, We Bare Bears. The show follows the lives of three bears - Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear - as they navigate the human world in search of a place to belong. In this episode, the bears meet Charlie, a Bigfoot-like creature who has been living in the woods for years, and they quickly become friends.

The episode begins with the bears going on a camping trip in the woods. While they are there, they come across Charlie, who is initially terrified of their presence. However, Grizzly manages to convince him that they are friendly and offers to help him with anything he needs.

Charlie is initially hesitant to accept the bears' help but eventually warms up to them when they prove themselves to be trustworthy and kind. He tells the bears that he has been living in the woods for years, hiding from the humans who are constantly hunting him and trying to capture him. Despite his fears, Charlie is intrigued by the bears and ends up spending a lot of time with them.

As the episode progresses, Charlie begins to open up to the bears about his past and the reasons he has been hiding in the woods. He tells them that when he was younger, he lived with a family of humans who treated him like their own son, but eventually, he became too big and too much to handle. The family tried to get rid of him, and he was forced to run away and live in the woods.

The bears empathize with Charlie's story and make it their mission to help him find a way to live comfortably in the human world. They take Charlie on a tour of their favorite human spots in the city, but it quickly becomes clear that he is still afraid of being seen by humans.

In one particularly touching scene, Charlie accidentally causes a group of humans to panic when they see him walking through the city. The bears rush to his side to protect him and help him escape, but in the process, they realize just how difficult it will be for him to live among humans.

Despite the challenges, the bears don't give up on Charlie. They continue to support him and encourage him to try new things. One of the most touching moments in the episode comes when Panda teaches Charlie how to dance. Watching the two of them spin around the dance floor together is a beautiful reminder of the power of friendship and the importance of accepting people for who they are.

Charlie is a heartwarming episode that demonstrates the power of empathy and the importance of connection. The episode tackles difficult subjects like discrimination and isolation in a way that is accessible to children and adults alike. By the end of the episode, viewers will be rooting for Charlie and the bears and hoping that they all find a way to live happily together.
