Once upon a time, bears in bedtime stories stuck to honey pots and cutesy crop tops—but not these seven. With a blend of mischief, charm, and unexpected quirks, 7 Bears reimagines cozy fables in the best possible manner. Whether they are causing chaos or stumbling into heartfelt moments, their tale is not something that would make viewers nostalgic. Rather, it would prompt them to be on their toes, for their own good.

With fairytales turned on their heads and seven unruly wild creatures at the center, 7 Bears, is turning ample heads—and it might just be lurking on a primary streaming platform.

Coming from award-winning French studio Folivari, 7 Bears arrived on Netflix recently, instantly becoming everyone’s favorite. Led by showrunner Robert Vargas and directed by Guillaume Rio, the series not only has its credibility but also its charm. 7 Bears was presented at the 2025 Annecy Film Festival, where it was revealed that it is based on the book series Les Vingts Palpitants des 7 Ours Nains by Émile Bravo.

The author detailed that the series will give a “fresh take” on classic fairytales and introduce characters that are as “endearing as they can be” but also “insufferable sometimes," at Annecy 2025as reported by What's On Netflix. The zany series, available on Netflix US—and listed on the streaming giant’s worldwide catalogue as well—stars Melina Farahani, Mia Sinclair Jenness, Tiffany Hogstetter, and more. With 7 Bears being a French production, fans are wondering whether it is available in other international languages or if it at least boasts subtitles.

There is talk that this animated adventure comes equipped to entertain wide masses—perhaps with a little help from translated magic.

7 Bears is available on Netflix in multiple international languages including Arabic, Hindi, Korean and more. And since the series is a platform original, it is sure to have a wide array of subtitles available, including English. Netflix, for the record, also recently expanded its subtitle options, allowing users to choose between dialogue-only scripts and those with additional audio cues. Meanwhile, for people looking for similar or more mature animated content on Netflix, the platform is a treasure trove.

Whether viewers are in the mood for absurd humor, vibrant visuals, or just offbeat storytelling, Netflix has something for all—and its ever-evolving catalogue of animated gems not only keeps users hooked but also invites more subscribers as days drift by. The answer to whether 7 Bears will be a worthwhile addition is time-sensitive; however, early reception suggests it has off to a great start.
