It all started with a bear stack… and now TV’s most hilarious and heartwarming bears star in their first TV movie! Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is bringing Cartoon Network’s hit series into your homes on September 8 with the release of We Bare Bears The Movie on DVD. The movie is an extension of the successful We Bare Bears series, created by two-time Annie Award-winner Daniel Chong and executive produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
Eric Edelstein (Shameless, Clarence), Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live, Me Myself & I) and Demetri Martin (Important Things with Demetri Martin) return as the voice actors of the loveable bears Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear, along with recurring guest stars include Patton Oswalt (King of Queens, Ratatouille), Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Office), Charlyne Yi (House, Steven Universe) and Jason Lee (Alvin & The Chipmunks, Mallrats).
In We Bare Bears The Movie, when the bears’ love of food trucks and viral videos gets out of hand, it catches the attention of the menacing Agent Trout from the National Wildlife Control, who pledges to restore the “natural order” by separating them forever. Chased from their home, Grizz decides there’s only one thing they can do to find refuge — move to Canada! The Bears embark on an epic road trip filled with new friends, dangerous obstacles and massive parties. But most importantly, the perilous journey will force the Bears to face how they first met and became brothers, in order to keep their family bond from splitting apart.
Stacked with bonus features including commentary, the movie pitch, deleted scenes and more, We Bare Bears The Movie carries a suggested retail price of $19.99 for the DVD ($24.99 in Canada) and is rated TV-Y7. It is also available to own on Digital via purchase from digital retailers.
