From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"Tubi Will Be ‘Breaking Bear’ With Brendan Fraser"​

"Most people know the free ad-supported streaming service Tubi as a place to take in reruns — it hasn’t had much luck yet with original content. Will their upcoming animated comedy Breaking Bear become the breakthrough they need?

The show is about a family of bear siblings facing threats from all sides: frackers are tearing apart the forest, mobsters are conducting dirty business in their backyard, and a fearsome pack of wolves seeks to take over their cave. What else can they do but…Break Bear. Jer, Blair and Alistair start fighting back, deploying any tactic they can find to save their home. It’s too bad they aren’t very good at it.

Breaking Bear stars Brendan Fraser as the voice of Jer, the family’s self-proclaimed leader. Sarah Michelle Gellar voices Blair, the “Penny From Inspector Gadget” of the group who secretly accomplishes the things Jer can’t. Josh Gad rounds out the trip as Alistair, an “adorable” bear cub who can turn ornery if you don’t watch out. Supporting characters include Annie Murphy as an ambitious newscaster and Elizabeth Hurley as the Wolf Queen."

Soooo Yogi Bear, but with meth and sex and all naughty.

I am about halfway thru Mating Season. And loving it. And it has a lesbian version of The Fox and The Hound. So I dont know how much stones I can throw. But, IMO, Mating Season knows how to do a delicate dance of how to give a character dignity, and when to let them be a mess. All in a way to show the contradiction of being a person. Of all of us being forced to hold those contradictions in ourselves. Or at least the possibility of contradiction.

I dont know how this show is going to go. And I couldnt handle Breaking Bad, cause stories about meth depress me. But I hope it's not just naughty for naughty's sake. Even the the lesbian Fox and the Hound stuff. It took a beloved, "pure" classic, and put some naughty in it. But at the same time, it also was a story about incompatable families, paniced love, and how you can make big mistakes when you are trying to hold something together. And it was a queer romance that didnt end in tradety, or happily ever rose fields. It had some naughty, it played with something beloved. But it had more going for it than "naughty (that thing)".

Maybe this is a sizzle trailer, and there is bigger meanings they can plum from naughty Yogi. I may never know. I will say the art is .. kinda rough. Even for an adult animation.
