amirhossein-71941 I am 28 years old BUT i love to watch mas-ha and the bear every day :D maybe because i remember my childhood when i watch mas-ha.thank you for making us happy. We need more episode in English please.Got to get "the pandemonium," And that means all pans and pots. Clear the way! I need to make room To make jam and to make lots.What was on the garden patches, What grew on the tree I got, Made from it some mix-and-matches, Put it all in one big pot.I'll add carrots for some nice zest To the Portobello jams. But the juiciest and sweetest Will be pine cones and the yams!I peek in, and as I'm looking At the weird brew, I yell, "Now I know what's really cooking! I am in a jam, as well! <3 <3 <3

Swati I came across this animation series while searching rhymes on YouTube for my two year old niece. I watched a few episodes with her. It is just fabulous. It makes you laugh, it makes you learn and it just makes you fall in love with the two characters -"Masha" and the "bear". It reminds me of my childhood days when I used to watch "Tom and Jerry", "Duck Tales". I have been a cartoon buff since childhood, but since past few years I didn't find any good cartoon series on TV. This series comes as a fresh breath in such a scenario.If you ask me then this is the best animation series of the decade.I wish great success for this series and all those who are associated with this.Lots of love from India

petra_ste Not since Disney and Looney Tunes classics an animated series aimed at children made me laugh so much.This Russian cartoon about a grumpy but good-natured bear dealing with hurricane-like toddler Masha is a gem: hilarious, breathlessly paced and visually compelling, with a color palette of rich greens and browns.The stroke of genius was keeping the bear mute (along with all other animals), which somehow makes his straight man attitude - and annoyed reactions to Masha's disasters - ten times funnier. Comic timing is impeccable.Add to this a catchy soundtrack and secondary characters like two loser wolves, a thieving rabbit and a disco-obsessed pig, and the result is amusing for both kids and adults.8/10

prizm4 This is a really fun Russian animated series, and our 3 year old can't get enough. In fact, our daughter's antics reminds us of Masha all too often!You don't need to know Russian as the series generally keeps dialogue to a minimum. All the episodes are presented FREE on YouTube by the company that makes the show, so it's easy to give it a go and see if you'll like it. Some of the episodes are real classics and a crack up to watch.The only downside is the recent English version. It's horrible. Masha is only about 3 or 4 years old in the show, but the English dialogue makes her sound like she's 8 years old. All the charm is lost, the English dialogue is just too mature and poorly written -- it does not suit an innocent three year old. Not only that, but the voice acting isn't great and sounds stilted. Although that could be a result of the poor lines. Now Masha sounds more like an annoying school-age kid in a Disney movie.Some of the Russian episodes have English subtitles, and even they are more charming to read than watching the botched English version.Occasionally Masha sings a Russian song, and again the English translation is a real mess, they could've done a much better job translating the lyrics.Bottom line: Don't let the English version taint your experience, go see the original episodes. Your young children will love it.
