"Silly Old Bear draws upon the original Winnie the Pooh books by A.A. Milne. The voice actors don’t attempt to copy the voice actors from the Disney cartoons. I suspect that this is done deliberately. That way, it helps to give Silly Old Bear its own unique identity. The cast of Silly Old Bear is a veritable who’s who of British audio drama voice actors. Silly Old Bear fills me with warm and fuzzy feelings, and always manages to put a smile on my face. It is an absolute joy from start to finish. It is an excellent audio drama for both the young and the young at heart. You certainly won’t want to miss it if you’re a lifelong Winnie the Pooh fan."

"...if you just want something lighthearted and fun to keep you company, you'll probably like Silly Old Bear. Trace Callahan scores each episode, and their original music is everything you want it to be - sweet, mellow, and cute! They have done a wonderful job bringing this cozy world to life with a really specific application of sounds...using an almost minimal approach that doesn't feel lacking in any way. I am always on the lookout for low stakes audio dramas, and Silly Old Bear has truly hit the spot."
