We Bare Bears: The Movie

Grizz, a nomadic bear cub, meets Panda on the train tracks for the first time. An approaching train forces a risky escape, and a polar bear cub saves them. The three form a makeshift stack to outrun the danger, cementing a life-long bond.

Awakening from the nightmare of the train encounter, Grizz drags his brothers Panda and Ice Bear from the memory and rushes to be first in line for a Canadian poutine food truck in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their goal is simple: capitalize on internet fame by getting in early on a buzzing trend. The plan instantly sows chaos as the trio becomes reluctant celebrities in a city unprepared for their antics.

The Bears' chaotic march to the poutine truck triggers widespread disruption as residents grow fed up with their antics. The city reels from their unpredictable stunts and viral-star status draws more attention than expected. Officials struggle to balance curiosity with safety.

The Bears are summoned to City Hall to account for their mischief as public demand for accountability grows. Police Officer Murphy hesitates to endorse harsh punishment, while Wildlife Control Agent Trout takes over and presses for detention. The confrontation sets the stage for the bears' forced relocation.

The assembly votes to detain the Bears and relocate them to a wildlife preserve. Panda and Ice Bear are separated and imprisoned, while Grizz is sent to a containment center. The outcome fuels a sense of injustice and fear among the trio.

Charlie the Bigfoot and his animal friends hijack a police vehicle and break the Bears out to the forest. The rescue reveals alliances with unlikely allies as the bears go on the run again. The forest provides temporary shelter as Trout intensifies the pursuit.

Grizz leads the bears toward Canada, hoping refuge from authorities. Disguising the van in hippie graffiti, they slip past Trout's blockade only to crash the vehicle near the border. The failed bid for safety fans the tension and leaves the trio more vulnerable.

The bears stumble upon the Dramatic Cow, a famous talking cow who invites them to a celebrity animal party. Some attendees mistake them for real internet stars and the bears are persuaded to stay the night. A few hosts fix the van, but Grizz remains haunted by past nightmares.

Trout and his team close in, forcing the bears to stall the pursuing agents while they hastily flee on the repaired van. The party’s distractions prolong the chase but do not solve their precarious situation. The group's unity is tested as outside pressure mounts.

At the Canadian border, guards refuse entry because the bears lack passports, and the van explodes in the ensuing chaos. Grizz, Panda, and Ice Bear become separated from their sense of safety and direction. The escalating tensions push the bears toward a last-ditch plan.

With Panda and Ice Bear imprisoned, Grizz clings to the vow made in youth to staybros for life. His younger self encourages him to break free and rescue his brothers. The determined bear inspires a plan to escape and rally other captured bears.

The preserve’s electrified fence triggers a forest fire that traps everyone inside. Grizz convenes the other bears to form a tall stack, hoping to reach the smoke-filled helicopter above. Trout seizes the moment to try to capitalize on the chaos.

Officer Murphy finally acts against Trout’s cruelty and shoves a donut into his mouth, handcuffing him to a rail in the helicopter. He lifts the stacked bears to safety, ending Trout’s chase. The dramatic rescue is broadcast, turning public opinion in their favor.

The Bears are returned to the city amid cheers as the public embraces them as heroes. Trout is arrested and all the bears, including their friends, are welcomed back into daily life with new roles in their community. The trio reaffirm their bond as 'bros for life' and settle into a new, harmonious routine.
