Complete OST for Little Bear by Lesley Barber

[@jonathanhamiltonjrbigjohn2409]

I grew up with this show and I never have forgotten about how soothing the soundtracks were.

[@Sourrrrrr]

Me too :(

[@dianamlv]

Same there arent a lot of shows that that have this safe and calming sort of soundtrack and this one is the only one I can remember

[@BedazzledChanclas]

The whole show is therapy

Reminds me of being little at my grandparents everything so calm and peaceful there.

[@erin011x]

SAAAAAAME!!!!!

[@theburnedman5641]

Yes, yes, yes. Used to spend the day at my grandmas house watching Little Bear (she had cable and we didn’t growing up), sitting in front of the TV with a little table and tray with a bowl full of cantaloupe that my grandma would cut up for me. Such beautiful, peaceful and simple times. I hope I can provide the same comfy, cozy environment for my grandchildren :)

[@CameronJP]

Thank you to composers such as Lesley Barber and Johnny Costa (Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood) for knowing that kids can understand good music.

As a 25 year old, this brings a tear to my eye missing my childhood. I grew up with Little Bear and I’d always come home from school and watch Noggin. Little Bear was one of my favorites. I miss those days where times were simpler. 😢

LITERALLY SAME

[@BellerinaStargirl]

Mine too 100%

[@lolabuttercup]

NOGGIN

[@Meepisin]

I’m 21 and getting very emotional listening to this. My favorite show when I was little was little bear. The slow pacing, the soundtrack, the stylized storybook animals. This show brought me immense comfort, watching little bear fly to the moon with his friends. My dad always used to love watching it with me, he’s never been one to appreciate the arts, but he’s always had a soft spot for this show. What I consider our show. :)

[@skvllybones]

Little Bear music will always be so special to me. I was obsessed with it as a child.

[@marybethbizzle]

Little bears soundtrack will alwayssss be special to me! I cannot wait until I'm a mommy and can share these amazing cartoons from my childhood with my little one

[@christyweaver1837]

This show, Franklin and etc hit home really hard for me. I was born in '96, my parents divorced when I was 7. You see, these shows bring me comfort because even though despite my birthmom being borderline bipolar and I with my three older siblings enduring physical, emotional and verbal abuse from her, she had a caring side to her at times and did her best to give us memorable motherly moments with bonding with us over watching these shows together. That part will never be taken away from me. So now 28 y/o Christy will continue to travel back with these songs to where it all began for little Christy.

[@JustPraiseHim09]

Every time I listen to this, it’s like I’m being transported back to being 3-4 years old. I used to watch Little Bear after lunch and then it was nap time. This show always used to soothe me and I had no problems going to sleep. A lot of the time, I would fall asleep before the show ended. Those were good times 😊

[@boonesnake]

My two-year-old loves Little Bear. One of my favorite things is sitting with her on the couch and dozing off while she watches it. This soundtrack is great!

[@sterlingnimbus1]

My absolute favorite Nick Jr show!! It's got such a calming and cozy vibe! I absolutely love the elegant soundtrack It's got! Absolutely beautiful!! 🥰

[@phatprincessa]

I don't know why but I feel like I was meant to live in this universe

[@Strykertd]

With all the timelines I could go back to if I could change time, it would be to when I was a little kid, watching Little Bear, reading the books I had of it, going and playing outside in my woods at my family home, to just live in those moments forever...

[@lainybug5821]

These songs are very peaceful and relaxing! My favorites are Fly to the moon and Mermaids theme!

[@Joel-vx7hz]

Ok hat's off to you for uploading this. The little bear soundtrack is my all-time favorite of any kids cartoon. On a side note if you can help it do not allow this to be flagged for kids. I love reading the comments!!!

[@tomlaser2247]

Thank you! And I also hate not being able to read the comments as soon as a video is „made for kids“.

[@spooky4685]

Loved the music as a kid, still pining for some of it as an adult. I'm waiting for the day we have Emily's Theme from when she had to go back home. The scene had Emily giving Little Bear a pen, Father Bear walking her home and Little Bear being rocked with a cup of hot cocoa before learning how to write.

[@tomlaser2247]

Yeah, I know which one you mean. The Wikipedia article says that they used the music Lesley Barber wrote for the show and some excerpts from Chopin, Bach and Mozart. The music in that scene doesn't sound like an excerpt and very closely resembles the rest of the music Lesley wrote for the show. Unfortunately the music in this video is all that Lesley has listed on her page from the album she composed for Little Bear. So far I haven't found any other sources to pull the soundtrack from. If anyone finds anything I would be happy to upload a new video with the rest of the soundtrack.

[@verysillylol]

[@marflor2989]

I always tell people I have the mentality and imagination of Little Bear but the personality of Duck! But this show was my absolute favorite growing up and shaped so much of who I am as an adult today. (I still catch myself saying "interesting...") I had a group of stuffed animals as a kid and "we" would go on similar adventures wherever we wanted within the four walls of my room. There are really no words to describe how much this show meant to me then and now. And how peaceful it was, with Mother Bear and Father Bear always right there to protect and guide Little Bear's imagination. Thank you so much for providing the soundtrack of my childhood!

[@arbsan8366]

Little Bear will forever be my comfort show🥹🙏🏽

[@armgemboiii]

I was OBSESSED with this show as a toddler, and I am 28. I just love that Little Bear is surrounded by nature. I live in NYC, and if I lived in nature, I’d be at peace. Also, on a side note, Father Bear is like Tony Soprano as a grizzly bear. He can tell Little Bear, “I’m in the fishing business”.

[@sirwaddleton7328]

Emily's theme. Oof, right in the heart strings. Incredibly beautiful.

[@CCGarland]

Yes, yes, and yes, This music brings back so many memories. Makes me shed a tear. This was the show I watched whenever I was sick and had to take days off from school. this soundtrack is so comforting.

[@monicameadow6631]

When i was a kid, this show would always relaxes me whenever i had a hard day...which is why it's one of my top favorite cartoons.

[@ZeranZeran]

I loved this show so much as a kid and I think it seriously shaped my taste in music, and is the reason I play piano to this day. Thank you, Maurice Sendak ♥. RIP, and rest easy. This takes me back to when everything was okay, and everything was good. As an adult it's actually hard for me to follow some of these songs as far as the timing goes, which amazes me! It's like I'm re-learning a bit more about jazz, or just hearing something old for the first time again, making me think about it a different way. These compositions are so nice.

My grandma used to watch me, my sister, and my cousins after school and during the summer. I have so much nostalgia for those days, playing N64 and watching old school Nick and Cartoon Network, and Little Bear was a favorite of mine.

Where is the musical chairs song from “Birthday Soup”? The music from the one where Cat, Duck and Hen are running around the chairs? That music reminded me of Baby Mozart!

That is an excerpt from Mozart. So far I haven't been able to track down where that excerpt came from. The show uses a couple excerpts from Chopin and Mozart. As soon as I find all of them I plan on putting them in a new video. Not sure if that will happen because I haven't found a way to track those songs down yet.
