LITTLE DREAMERS
Santa and the Three Bears.
Two cubs are determined to meet Santa.
Bear cubs learn about Christmas from a park ranger and decide to stay awake for Santa. Their sleepy mother would rather begin hibernation.
Why it’s a little special
A short feature with a small cast, woodland setting and a simple holiday wish.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
A snowstorm and the cubs' worry about missing Santa bring mild tension; the story moves at an older, leisurely pace.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
