On This Day - Little Bear and Top Wing Premiered

 On This Day, 25 YEARS AGO and THREE YEARS AGO, Nick Jr's Little Bear and Top Wing premiered to the USA and Canada in 1995 and 2017 respectively.

In Maurice Sendak's Little Bear (5 seasons, 65 x 24'' episodes) based on the classic children's books illustrated by Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are, The Nutshell Kids Library, Really Rosie, In the Night Kitchen) follows the adventures of Little Bear and his parents and his friends Duck, Cat, Owl, Hen and Emily and her grandparents as they go on whimsical adventures.

Fun fact: In all non-US airings of Little Bear, the opening theme song is set to "Allegro Vivace" from Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Major by Franz Schubert.

On the other hand, Top Wing created by Scott Kroft (creator of The Fresh Beat Band and developer of PAW Patrol) follows the adventures of Brody, Penny, Rod and Swift as they train at their academy and earn their wings by helping others.

All seasons of Little Bear and Season 1 of Top Wing are available to stream on the NOGGIN SVOD.
