Move over, Christian Bale's Batman. This animated "Bear and the Gang" short was found on the cutting room floor and shows a brooding Bear who has put his fun-loving shenanigans aside to focus on darker matters.
The Bruins' "Bear and the Gang" shorts have been popular with fans, though it seems like the old live-action ones received more positive feedback than the current cartoon versions.
However, all of the episodes have a similar theme: the Bear is a mischievous character, an ursine Brad Marchand. He's fun. He's good for kids. He's a big, lovable prankster.
Apparently all of that good cheer takes its toll after a while.
