What’s the Story?

The Paw Paws are magical little bears, a cross between the Care Bears, the Smurfs , and the Ewoks. They live in a forest village protected by Totem Bear, Totem Eagle, and Totem Tortoise, powerful creatures that are summoned by Princess Paw Paw's (voiced by Susan Blu) moonstone necklace. Most of the episodes center around the attempts of Dark Paw (Stanley Ralph Ross) and his evil Aunt Pruney (Ruth Buzzi) to steal the necklace and gain control of the totems.

Is It Any Good?

Young kids who are ready for some adventure in their viewing love the Paw Paws, who were originally on TV in the '80s. They work together, they ride flying horses, and, while they can defend themselves fairly well from Dark Paw and the "meanos," they always have their protective totems to fall back on. Few 4- and 5-year-olds would ask for more, and older kids without a lot of TV experience tend like it too, making it a good afternoon compromise for siblings. Some of the Native American imagery hasn't aged that well, but there's no cultural disrespect, either.
