==Plot==
One fall evening, Little Bear and Father Bear set out on a camping trip. While camping on a hill, Father Bear talks about the wilderness and the time he met an eagle. The next day Little Bear meets a villainous mountain lion, but another bear named Cub saves him from being eaten. Even though Little Bear is unaware of the danger, Cub told him that the mountain lion would have eaten him and if it wasn't for him, he could be that lion's breakfast. A while later, Little Bear introduces Cub to Father Bear and they then enjoy a grilled fish breakfast together. Little Bear asked Cub if they wanted to come along to their home, so he agrees.
Back at the house, Little Bear introduces Cub to Mother Bear and said that they gathered some raspberries. While Cub tries to get used to living in a house, Little Bear shows Cub his bedroom and his homemade space helmet. Little Bear then wants Cub to meet his friends Cat, Owl, Duck, and Hen where they started to play together. When they learn that Cub got separated from his parents during an intense storm, they decide to go on a journey to search for them. They make missing person posters for Cub's parents and then head back into the wilderness to hang them up. While doing so they meet their friend Moose, he shows them that raccoons have used a poster to make a dam. Little Bear and Cub try to recover the banner, but beavers, angry with the raccoons break the dam and, in the process, Little Bear and Cub are washed away in a flood, straight over a waterfall getting separated from the rest of the group. They find Duck has wandered downstream as well, looking for Cub's parents.
Meanwhile, Owl had searched all over the woods but he couldn't see them and informed his friends about their disappearence. Moose suggested that they should tell MotherBear and Father Bear and started to head off.
Meanwhile, Little Bear, Cub and Duck become lost in the dark wilderness and are unable to find the rest of the gang. Duck finally declared that they are lost and couldn't see where they are going. They then run into Cub's best friends Poppy and Pete, two playful and hyperactive red foxes who took care of Cub after he got separated from his parents. They spend the night in the foxes den and the next day they keep looking and head towards a canyon.
While trying to help Cub after he gets his foot stuck in some rocks, Duck meet the mountain lion since she is unaware and he tries to eat Duck, but Poppy and Pete try to tackle him to save her, which causes them to fall into the river. After helping Poppy and Pete make it out of the river, Little Bear notices the mountain lion drowning and tries to help him, only to end up getting cornered. The mountain lion is about to attack Little Bear, only to get scared off by the arrival of Cub's parents. Cub and his parents are reunited and Cub introduces Little Bear to him. He asked his parents how he'd found him until his mother said that an eagle brought them a message. The two cubs realized that it was the canteen with Cub's picture inside. Poppy and Pete wonder where Duck is but Little Bear is unsure if she'd survived and suddenly, he saw Duck in the air and is found by his family and friends. After saying goodbye to Cub, Little Bear heads home and on the way back to the house it starts snowing.
