The Animated Project “Mini-Bears” Wins “TEFI-KIDS” Award

29.10.2024

The animated series “Mini-Bears” with the episode “The Best Tail,” won in the category “Best Animated Series for Children.”

The “TEFI-KIDS” award recognizes the most significant achievements in the field of children’s and youth cinema and television in Russia.

The animated project “Mini-Bears” created by the “Parovoz” studio commissioned by VGTRK (as part of the “Digital Television” media holding), is a spin-off of the popular animated series “Be-Be-Bears“. Receiving this award became a wonderful gift for the project’s first anniversary, celebrated in November 2024.

The story centers around familiar curious characters: Kesha, Tuchka, Lissy, and their friends. In each episode, the characters step out of their toy houses around a playground and eagerly play there. While playing, they encounter various adventures, such as Lissy being afraid to slide down, Kesha deciding to change his tail, or Valya feeling shy about his dancing skills. Problems that may seem insignificant to adults are very important to these characters, and they bravely tackle them.

Each episode offers young viewers valuable lessons: the importance of sharing, how to handle emotions, how to build relationships with others, and how to respond to new and unfamiliar situations.

This year, 215 works were submitted for the “TEFI-KIDS” award. The awards ceremony took place on October 28 at the Et Cetera Theater in Moscow.
