Goldie & Bear is an American animated fantasy children's television series created by Jorge Aguirre for Disney Junior. The series is produced by Milk Barn Entertainment and Titmouse, Inc in its first and second seasons respectively. Inspired by the fairy tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," the show focuses on Goldie and Bear, who become best friends following an incident at his house.
The show was created to preserve children's memories of classic fairy tales and characters. Its episodes try to pay homage to the original fairytales and nursery rhymes while giving additional insight into their storylines and underlying meanings. Maria Tatar, a Disney Junior advisory board member, provided advice on storytelling, fairytales, and folklore as the show's consultant.
The show launched on Disney Junior and Disney Channel in November 2015. Episodes were released on Watch Disney Junior two months prior to their broadcast on the network. The series was renewed for a second season in March 2016, which premiered in September 2017. The final episode aired on October 1, 2018. Goldie & Bear received general positive reviews from critics, with praise for its music and characters.
