They're back! But there are things you need to know.
1st - the scale of the series has grown. Now they are in an adventure park with a linear plot to follow, which implies that it's more like an adventure story than a slice of life.
2nd - There are more side characters, and each one of them have an important role to play.
3rd - Sometimes the animation gets more stylish and experimental, which I loved, and I wish there were more of it.
I'm super glad they attempted to do sth different instead of copying its predecessor success, but it saddens me a bit that I couldn't feel that intimate and heartwarming feeling we once had with those few main characters inside a house. That animation communicated so well with kids and adults (I will never forget the snowmen episode), but here in general it's more childish.
With 2 or 3 exceptions, I couldn't get along with the side characters (they took too much time screen as well), and although the animation is still good, we can really see how complicated it was to animate all those peoples and elements in the park, which resulted in a some lifeless static scenes.
In conclusion, is it that show that in its 12 minutes created that cozy place and made us believe in the humanity again? No, but it's definitely a must-watch, especially if you were looking forward to watching more of these cute teddy bears, 'cause they will make you smile from ear to ear along these 8 episodes (although I think they could have been told in only 1 or 2).
