Review: We Bare Bears “Subway”

Eat fresh.

Spoilers Below

The brothers are on their way home from some shopping. Grizz got a fitness tracker, Panda got a selfie stick for his phone, and Ice Bear got something mysterious. When they attempt to take a selfie with Panda’s selfie stick, they miss their train. To waste the 40 minutes they have to wait for the next one, the bears start watching videos on Panda’s phone. After watching a Bagel Rat video, they argue about what to watch next. The fight over the phone, resulting in it flying onto the train tracks, where none of them can reach it, even with the help of the selfie stick. They start to freak out as they search a nearby trash can to find a way to reach the phone. As Grizz digs through the trash, his fitness tracker slips off his arm. The tracker is then stolen by none other than Bagel Rat himself. Grizz rushes off after the rat to get his tracker back.

Meanwhile, Ice Bear formulates an idea from the knocked over trash can. He fashions a grabber with the selfie stick, a hanger, some tape, and chewed bubble gum. At first, the phone is still too far away. However, Panda notices that the phone jumps a little closer every time he receives a text. He gets another guy at the station to text him a few times, making the phone jump even closer. Finally, Ice Bear is able to get the phone. But then the guy texts Panda one last time and the phone vibrates off the chewing gum, bouncing even farther away.

That is when Ice Bear reveals his purchase – a not-so-legal drone. He manages to grab the phone with the drone but then Panda freaks out again when a train on the other track approaches. Needless to say, that train smashes Ice Bear’s drone and Panda’s phone bounces away once again.

Grizz, on the other hand, has followed the Bagel Rat into an employee-only area of the station. The rat climbed into the ceiling and through the ducts to a separate room filled with bagels and bagel-shaped objects. Grizz followed. He searched the stacks of bagel objects but was unable to find his tracker. Sadly, he returned to his brothers just after Ice Bear’s drone died.

Just when all hope was lost, Bagel Rat (with tracker) appears on the tracks. He was close enough to get Panda’s phone. Panda uses the other guy’s phone to text himself a picture of a bagel and the rat begins to drag the phone closer. But then their train arrives, looking like it killed Bagel Rat and Panda’s phone. No fear! Bagel Rat crawls out of a nearby drain with Panda’s phone. Panda gets his phone back and Grizz gives the rat his fitness tracker. The bears happily ride their train home, watching more Bagel Rat videos.

So much happened in this episode! I really felt sorry for Ice Bear. He had all the great ideas to save Panda’s phone but he lost his obviously expensive drone. Panda got his phone back. In a way, Grizz got his tracker back…even if he did give it away. But Ice Bear lost his thing thanks to a brother not trusting him. Panda should know by now – always trust the Ice Bear.
