We Bare Bears is an American animated sitcom created by Daniel Chong for Cartoon Network, following three anthropomorphic adoptive bear brothers, Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear, as they humorously attempt to integrate into human society in the San Francisco Bay Area. The series, based on Chong's webcomic "The Three Bare Bears," explores themes of friendship, family, acceptance, and the challenges of fitting in, often juxtaposing the bears' animal instincts with human customs. It is known for its slice-of-life adventures and has garnered praise for its heartwarming storytelling and diverse character representation. The show ran for four seasons, concluding with "We Bare Bears: The Movie," and later spawned a prequel spin-off, "We Baby Bears," which explores the bears' adventures as cubs.

In the We Bare Bears episode "Bear Lift" (Season 3, Episode 25), a scene depicts the bears assisting a newlywed lesbian couple, explicitly showcasing a same-sex relationship in the background. The spin-off series, We Baby Bears, features non-binary characters such as Box and Polly the Pirate Captain, who explicitly state their 'they/them' pronouns in the episode 'Polly's New Crew.' Additionally, the character Cassi in We Baby Bears is an anthropomorphic cat voiced by transgender actress Dominique Jackson.
