Chong has described the series as an allegory for what it feels like to be a minority in America.

Panda not only reads it but also draws it, according to Chong, and it makes perfect sense.

Many outsiders have turned to manga and found something that resonated there.

Chong stresses that this focus on character is what makes a greatWe Bare Bearsstory.

First and foremost we always talk about character in the room.

We ensure we know where theyre coming from and that people can sympathize and empathize with them.

Thats a huge part of connecting with the audience.

I definitely think if we can throw in some heart and an emotional element thats always a plus.

All of the shorts were fun and upbeat but one of them was originally more introspective.

The song is a moving piece about feeling alone.

She submitted a bunch of demos and the one I picked was the sad one, remembers Chong.

He was drawn to the song because of how it underscored the series theme of wanting to fit in.

you might listen to that song below and it is much more upbeat.

We keep them very broad and make them very outspoken.

Theyre even more outspoken than their older selves.

If something bad happens we dont have them get too down.

Especially with Grizz, hes more resilient and hes going to push back a bit.

Even baby Panda is a bit more resilient than adult Panda in some ways.

Its sad, but theyre very aggressive so that helps with the comedy.

How do we dumb this down or how do we make this palpable?
