He and his friends have many adventures together. Those normally include solving problems, sharing, cooperating with each other, and developing social skills. Each episode opens with the welcome song. The other characters in the show then make their appearance, and the theme and plot of the show then comes to place. Throughout the episode, the theme ( ex ; `` sleep '', `` doctors '', `` Thanksgiving '' ) is learned about, and a lesson is learned at the end of the episode. Songs and jokes accompany the episode. Bear acts as a caregiver towards Ojo the bear cub, Treelo the lemur, Tutter the mouse, and Pip and Pop, who are two otters. Character `` Shadow '' narrates a segment with shadow puppets in each episode. Most of the segments are in song, while some are simply a short story relating to the episode 's theme. At the end of the program, Bear then sings the goodbye song with Luna, the moon.

Locations Woodland Valley - Woodland Valley is the area / village in which events on the show are situated. The Big Blue House is the main landmark, but there is also a general store, post office, mall, library, movie theater, mouse school, and many other locations. Many of these are not seen ( or not seen in much detail ) until the fourth season of the program. In `` History, Herstory, Bearstory, '' Jeremiah Tortoise reveals that his grandfather Hepahestus Tortoise was the town 's first settler. He initially decided to call it Who 'd Have Thought I Would Land in This Valley Valley, but decided it was too long and changed it to Would Land Valley. Jeremiah says he 's been trying to get the official spelling changed for years. Sequoia City is a neighboring town of Woodland Valley. The Big Blue House - The Big Blue House is where most of the main action of the series Bear in the Big Blue House takes place. Located in Woodland Valley, it looks somewhat small from the outside, but large and roomy on the inside. Bear lives here and runs a sort of daycare / group - home. Tutter has his mousehole in the house, while most of the other young characters only spend the day here. The Big Blue House is often described as warm and cozy. The Big Blue House has five rooms. The kitchen and the living room are downstairs. Bear has his very own swing where he sometimes sits and reads in the living room. Tutter 's mousehole is in the kitchen. The front - door, where Bear greets the viewers at the beginning of each episode, is also downstairs. Upstairs are the bathroom and Bear 's bedroom. Finally, Bear stores various items in the attic. There 's also a landing there where Bear visits each night to talk with his friend Luna, the moon. Bear once gave the following directions on how to reach the Big Blue House : just take the path that leads into the woods, make the right past the big oak, go right, past the pond and then you 're there. Otter Pond - Pip and Pop often hang out at the Otter Pond. It is also home to Harry the Duck, his mom, and his sister, Hallie. Additionally, various other creatures sometimes hang out at the Otter Pond, including Benny, Christine, and Big Old Bullfrog. The general area of the Otter Pond is filled with plants, including bushes filled with berries. Bear and Ojo visit there to pick berries for triple - berry pie in `` If at First You Do n't Succeed... '' The Otter Pond was the site of a special nighttime party in `` And to All a Good Night. '' Woodland Valley Library - The Woodland Valley Library is a place for everyone in Woodland Valley to go for research and resources. It is managed by Otto and Etta Otter. It is located directly in the center of the town. In addition to books, it also offers DVDs, CD - ROMs, Internet access and various other resources. Woodland Valley Library is featured in the two - part Welcome to Woodland Valley story. A tree falls on the library and the entire community works together to help get it cleaned up. There is damage to the collection and so donations are made. When Ojo discovers two unnamed opossums ( voiced by Gilbert Gottfried and Brad Garrett ) living in the tree that fell, the tree itself is made into a part of the library as the Book Nook. The library is featured in the song, `` Everything 's Great About the Library. '' Harry the Duck wonders what 's so great about the library and so Tutter, Treelo, Pip and Pop sing a song to explain it. They tell him that there 's something for everyone at the library, but the library is a place to read, so you have to keep your voices down ; no disturbing allowed. Woodland Valley Cinema - The Woodland Valley Cinema is a local movie theater for everyone in Woodland Valley to relax and watch films. Annette is the owner of the movie theater and does all the jobs from box office to ticket taker. The screening room has three rows of seats in the auditorium and a concession stand. The concession stand accepts dollars and cents as payment instead of clams, Woodland Valley 's official currency. Woodland Valley Cinema was first introduced in `` Welcome to Woodland Valley. '' However, in `` Words, Words, Words, '' the Woodland Valley Gazette says the movie theater is named `` Woodland Valley Multiplex. '' Woodland Valley Post Office - The Woodland Valley Post Office is Woodland Valley 's own facility for posting, receipt, sorting, handling, transmission or delivery of mail. The post office also sells stamps for stamp collections and does clammygrams if asked. Jeremiah Tortoise works there in addition to running his general store. Most of the mail ends up arriving late due to Jeremiah Tortoise, who is slow at delivering the mail. In `` A Strange Bird, '' Bear received a two - week - old postcard from a penguin named Puck from the South Pole and finds out Puck is paying a visit to the Big Blue House today. The store accepts clams, Woodland Valley 's official currency, as payment and it has to be exact change only. Woodland Valley Post Office was first introduced in `` Read My Book '' and was seen more in later episodes. Mouse School - The Mouse School is a fun place to learn for Tutter and his classmates, including Keisha, Luke, Lily, Rita, and Moss. Learning and other activities are overseen by Miss Maxwell. It 's a one - room schoolhouse, but there 's plenty of places to play and an occasional field trip. Tutter first begins attending Mouse School in the fourth season of the program. He joins the school soccer team, coached by Bear, but considers quitting in `` Show Your Stuff. '' In `` Teacher Appreciation Day, '' Tutter joins with Lily to figure out a way to show Miss Maxwell how much the mice kids all appreciate her. Tutter holds a sleepover for his Mouse School classmates in `` Tutter 's First Big Sleepover Bash. '' Doc Hogg 's Office - Doc Hogg 's Office is where Doc Hogg treats his patients on Bear in the Big Blue House. Bear, Tutter and Ojo visited the office when Tutter hurt his tail in `` That Healing Feeling. '' The office has a waiting room with toys and books to keep children entertained. Sequoia City - Sequoia City is a neighboring town of Woodland Valley, and Woodland Valley may be considered a suburb of it. They are known to have a baseball team called the `` Big Bats. '' Sequoia City is the hometown for two radio stations that reach Woodland Valley ; WWTL ( a news and weather station ) and Bear 's favorite music station WCHA - CHA. Sequoia City was one of the locations on a signpost in `` The Great Bandini. '' The other location names on that signpost ( other than the library ) have not been used again, but Sequoia City has been mentioned in other episodes. Bear and the kids of the Big Blue House went on vacation at a nice hotel in Sequoia City in `` This Is Your Life, Bear. '' River City - River City is a town mentioned on Bear in the Big Blue House. Not much is known about it, but Grandma Flutter was an all - star player for their baseball team : the River City Rodents. Episodes Main article : List of Bear in the Big Blue House episodes Cancellation Bear in the Big Blue House was initially produced from 1997 to 2006. The voice actress for `` Luna '' the moon was played by Lynne Thigpen, who abruptly died due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Thigpen 's death led to a three - year hiatus of Bear in the Big Blue House. A planned film version of Bear was also put on hold. Two years after Thigpen 's death, Tara Mooney, who voiced the character Shadow, in an interview with Ray D'Arcy on Today FM stated : `` The crew 's hearts just were n't in it anymore ''. Thigpen 's friends and family established a non-profit foundation, The Lynne Thigpen - Bobo Lewis Foundation, to help young actors and actresses learn how to survive and succeed in New York theater and to mentor the next generation of Broadway stars. After the hiatus and the spin - off Breakfast with Bear, new episodes returned to the Disney Channel in April 2006, with the last episode airing on April 28, 2006. Thigpen was posthumously nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for voicing Luna the moon in Bear in the Big Blue House, but lost to Jeff Corwin. International airings The show was shown throughout the world including in the United Kingdom on five and Playhouse Disney UK, on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Australia and on RTÉ Two in Ireland.
