Production notes

Based on the best-selling books written and illustrated by Carol Lawson. Her first story, "The Upstairs Downstairs Bears on Holiday," was published by Egmont Children's Books in 1997.

"The films are done using 'stop frame' animation, which means that they use puppets, not drawings," said Lawson. "This involves making real teddy bears."

This TV series ran for 26 episodes.

The series marked the first partnership between CINAR Animation and Scottish Television.
