Appearance/Personality
The Three Bears were a family of bears that live in a house together. Mama Bear is the luckiest of the three and Papa Bear is almost always on the loosing end of situations, Baby Bear is sometimes on the loosing end as Papa Bear beats him for something he did wrong. Mama Bear is the piece maker, Baby Bear is a little dimwitted and Papa Bear has the bad temper. The Bears however cannot defeat Bugs Bunny (though Mama Bear does give Bugs lots of kisses which makes Bugs run away). The Three Bears along with Beaky Buzzard, Hubie & Bertie and the solo shorts of Porky Pig & Tweety Bird were all retired.
