Synopsis

Set in a beautiful big wood, during the perennial summer of childhood, EDDY & THE BEAR is the continuing story of a little boy's first ever friendship. Eddy is five years old- arguably the most magical age of childhood. He is old enough to express himself, but still young enough to be experiencing many things for the first time. The unusual, the magical, and the commonplace all find a level playing field in the mind of a five year old- which is just as well, if your best friend happens to be a ten foot talking bear.

Each episode follows their daily adventures in and around the beautiful woods near Eddy's home, as well as the weird and wonderful world of their imaginations. Bear introduces Eddy to the wonders of the natural world and Eddy confuses the Bear with talk of computer games, school and being told to go to sleep when you're not tired and it's still light.

As with any friendship they have little arguments and enjoy showing off to one another- even becoming jealous- but nothing rocks the solid foundations of their friendship.
