| ~ Panda Bear |
Panda Bear is the deuteragonist of the 2015 Cartoon Network original series, We Bare Bears, its 2020 series finale film, We Bare Bears: The Movie, and its 2022 spin-off prequel, We Baby Bears. He is the middle brother of the Bears and, as stated by Grizzly, is "the link that holds them all, together." He is Charlie's best friend, but he does not desire to admit it himself.
Panda Bear was voiced by Bobby Moynihan as adult, who also voices Albert from the film that has the same name, Mel in The Secret Life of Pets, Chet Alexander in Monsters University, and Louie Duck in the 2017 reboot of DuckTales and Duncan Joiner & Max Mitchell as cub. In We Baby Bears, he is voiced by Amari McCoy, who also voiced Becca from Ernesto's Manifesto.
Appearance[]
Panda is an anthropomorphic bear. Being a panda, his body is covered with black fur, with white fur on his head (excluding his eyes and ears) and a white stripe across his belly. He is shorter than his brothers, with a wider frame than both. He is shown to have small black eyes surrounded by black fur, which he deems as a “birthmark.”
Personality[]
Panda is tender-hearted and easily becomes anxious or embarrassed. It is revealed in "Panda 2," that Panda once lived in a controlled panda enclosure near a fictionalized version of Shanghai, China. A stuffed panda plush doll was dropped into his enclosure by one of the staff who noticed his loneliness and Panda befriended it by giving it a personality, which is mainly Panda voicing his deeper inner thoughts through the doll. Panda made usage of the doll as a method of convincing himself to look through a window on the wall of the observatory, something he has typically been curious about, but never attempted to actually see. After using the doll to prop himself up, he finds a television set and becomes entranced by the moving pictures, and Anime, which is most likely how Panda came to appreciate it later in his life. In an effort to show his "friend" the Television, Panda escapes the Habitat through a food chute but after being discovered he jumps out the window of the laboratory and hides in a bamboo delivery truck, which brings him into downtown Shanghai. Panda has a lot less self-confidence than his brothers. He is good with technology and make usage of that skill on online social media and dating sites, with which he finds little to no success. He is also the one who "falls in love" the most quickly.
Outside of this, Panda Bear is artistic, creative, sensitive, cute, gentle, yet is also characterized as a somewhat insecure coward. Panda is introspective, imaginative, and creative, but unlike his brothers, is the most shy, fearful, and can be neurotic and an example of being a "Drama Queen." He is potentially the nervous, frail, and most introverted of the three bears, as in "Our Stuff," he was shown being hit by a basketball that knocks him over and he calls for a time-out. Additionally, he has a pure allergy to nuts.
