Beary Cute

A bear, a bear-like creature, or someone who incorporates a bearish motif that is undeniably adorable can be said to be Beary Cute. Panda bears are a prime example, as they are known to pander to the audience. Most of the characters are friendly to others or just very funny.

Contrast with Bears are Bad News, which shows the more violent nature of bears.

 * Snuggle Bear is the mascot for the Snuggle brand. The bear is not only cute, but also soft to show how good the brand's fabric softener works.

Anime and Manga

 * Super Kuma-san, alter ego of Kuma-san, is a living teddy bear who acts as a superhero that protects a small town. He also dances to music with the park clown to entertain the local children.
 * The titular Rilakkuma from Rilakkuma and Kaoru, as well as Korilakkuma. They're teddy bear creatures who live in an apartment with a salarywoman named Kaoru. They often laze around the house and eat snacks, especially honey pancakes, but do provide some relief to Kaoru's day-to-day life.
 * Mofurun from Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure was an average teddy bear, but a bit of magic brought her to life. She can sense magic and the Linkle Stones, and can also transform into a Magical Girl with the help of a Linkle Stone. In the movie, Mofurun becomes a Pretty Cure with a bear motif with the Wishing Stone's help.
 * Enforced in Killing Bites: the Giant Panda Brute Wang Aizhen uses the panda's adorable characteristics to appeal to the Killing Bites tourmanet's audience while showing the same strength and brutality of a bear. She's a decently powerful martial artist, but not enough to be a proper contender in the tournament thanks to her lack of experience in fighting other Brutes.
 * Symbolized in Yuri Kuma Arashi, the bears and the lesbian relationships are a symbolic parallel of Japan's view of homosexuality with bears' depiction in popular media. Bears tend to have a cuteness to them in pop culture, but are dangerous creatures in reality. Japan's view of lesbians, while portrayed positively in a large amount of media such as anime and manga, is still rather backwards to the point that actual lesbians have trouble gaining acceptance within Japanese society.
 * Xiao-Mei, from Fullmetal Alchemist, is the small pet panda of May Chang while also being her traveling companion. Despite being so little, she is rather protective of May Chang and often mimics May's actions.
 * Kumamon from Digimon Frontier is Beastman Digimon that looks like a small bear made of snow, and is clad in green armor with power over ice.
 * Yuna from Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is a hikikomori who was transported to another world by a god who also gave her a set of bear-themed equipment: a bear suit with bear hand puppets as weapons. Although they look like nothing more than a preposterously cute costume, the ensemble is a potent set of magical enhancements that make her more powerful than anything else in the world, even more so when it takes a bear-like form.
 * Bepo from One Piece is a seemingly meek Bear Mink who acts as Navigator for the Hearts pirates. He seems weak willed but shows willpower along with martial art skills.
 * Subverted with Bear-Man a Gifter who has eaten the Bear SMILE Fruit. He looks like a ridiculously buff, but otherwise huggable green teddy bear with a cute face, but due to eating a SMILE Fruit instead of a proper Zoan fruit, he still has his human face in the muzzle.
 * In BNA: Brand New Animal, The Bears are a baseball team of mostly Bear Beastmen in the Anima City Baseball League. They are rather cute and innocent, but are inexperienced at the game. This doesn't stop them from having fun playing it, though.
 * Panda from Jujutsu Kaisen is an upbeat yet calm, Abrupt Mutated Cursed Corpse with a sense of humor that resembles a panda.

Film

 * Lotso-o'-Huggin' Bear from Toy Story 3 is a classy, gentlemanly pink teddy bear with a friendly disposition and acts as Sunnyside Daycare's kindly old caretaker.
 * Po from the Kung Fu Panda trilogy is Adorkable to a T, being a fun-loving fanboy of all things kung-fu related. And as a bouncy little baby... well, | look at him! He's adorable!
 * Beary Bearington and the rest of the Country Bears are meant to be this, since they're a kind-hearted, lovable, goofy bunch of ursine musicians. But as impressive as the animatronic bears may look (given that they're from the Jim Henson Creature Shop and all), plenty of people found them more unnerving than cute thanks to how eerily realistic, yet off they look.

Music

 * The music video,The Secret About That Girl, by E ve shows a line of toy bears as gacha and stuffed animals. They even take part in the teen boy's fantasies about the girl.

Puppet Shows

 * Ojo from Bear in the Big Blue House is an endearingly sweet, adorable bear cub with a big imagination. Bear himself also counts from a Gentle Giant standpoint seeing as how kind, patient, and fatherly he is towards viewers and the residents of his Big Blue House.
 * Baby Bear from Sesame Street, whose cuteness is further accented by his Elmuh Fudd Syndwome-style speech impediment.

Video Games

 * Pokémon has plenty of adorable little bears among the creatures you can catch and raise.
 * Generation II introduces Teddiursa, an adorable Normal-type bear cub with a moon symbol on its head. These little guys are often seen licking their paws, because they like to soak them in sweet-tasting honey; when they find any, their moon symbol is said to glow. They're even smart enough to make their own honey by mixing special Beedrill-collected pollen and fruit together. Teddiursa's evolved form is the not-as-visibly cuddly Ursaring.
 * Gen 2 almost had two other cute bears in its roster - old artwork and beta builds for Pokémon Gold featured Honoguma, a tubby little firey bear cub that was almost the Fire starter instead of Cyndaquil, and Kyonpan, an adorable Ghost-type jiangshi panda that evolved from a voodoo doll. ROM Hacks such as Pokémon Gold/Silver 97: Reforged add them to the roster proper.
 * Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire introduce Spinda, a long-eared panda-like Normal-type with large polka dots plastered all over it that wears a constant grin on its face as it teeters and wobbles around. While not all that strong, Spinda's goofy design is still endearing, and it has multiple unique patterns that make it a popular target of collectors. Its Signature Move Teeter Dance is also surprisingly useful, confusing all other Pokemon in battle.
 * Pokémon Black and White introduces Cubchoo, an Ice-type polar bear cub with a huge wad of snot dripping from its little nose. It's just as compact, wide-eyed, and painfully cute as Teddiursa, down to evolving into the similarly-imposing Beartic.
 * Pokémon X and Y introduce Pancham, a Fighting-Type panda cub styled after the Japanese delinquent archetype. These little guys want to look rough and tough, even carrying leaves in their mouth to try to look cool - but they're just plain adorable, especially once their tough facade cracks and they end up grinning. Pancham also take after Pangoro, their menacing-looking evolved form (notice a pattern?), and try to learn how to battle and hunt for prey from them - they even evolve if you have a Dark-type like Pangoro in the party!
 * Pokémon Sun and Moon brings us Stufful, a small pink teddy bear-like red panda that packs enough of a punch to knock out well-trained Pokemon with a single blow. Their evolved form, Bewear, is also adorable and resembles a Japanese mascot. They are rather friendly, but due to their massive strength, it's bad news for those they want to hug, because their freakish strength lets them snap anything in half - including human spines.
 * Pokémon Sword and Shield Gen 8 would finally give us a legendary bear cub: Kubfu! They're adorably stern-looking gray bear cubs that look and fight like martial artists, and often spend their free time training their body and mind.
 * Clark Wonderbot from Inazuma Eleven Go 2: Chrono Stone is an android that looks like a blue teddy bear. Whenever Clark gets excited, he turns pink which happens during soccer matches. He also dislikes being called a bear.
 * From Persona 4, Teddie is a bear-like creature that resembles a living mascot that the Investigation Team first meets in the Midnight Channel.
 * In Sands of Destruction, there are two types of Bear Ferals: one type looks like humanoid bears, and the other resemble teddy bears. Taupy Topuran is a Teddy Bear Feral who is cute and more than able to hold his own in a fight.
 * The Mana of Life from Mana Khemia inhabits and brings the teddy bear held by Pamela Ibis to life. The Mana made a contract with Pamela which allows her to continue living as a ghost while providing other powers.
 * Out of all of Freddy Fazbear's incarnations across the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, Toy Freddy does the best job at invoking this - with blushing cheeks, round belly, and an adorably dopey voice. But he becomes a lot less cute after dark, where he and the rest of his animatronic brethren will stalk the halls of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and attempt to cruelly kill whatever poor sap has been tasked with guard duty.
 * Helpy, introduced in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator is a more straightforward example. He's a chibified version of Funtime Freddy, but is completely passive and even helpful towards the player, being willing to help them manage their pizzeria while doing adorable happy dances to pass the time!
 * Unfortunately, Helpy's also one of the many threats the player has to deal with in Ultimate Custom Night, but even there he's more adorable than scary, since the only thing he can do is blow an airhorn in the player's face. The other animatronics might not take to the noise, though...

Web Animation

 * Molly Blyndeff from Epithet Erased is a 12-year-old whose fashion sense has a bear motif, shown by her hair loops styled like bear ears and her custom made bear hoodie. There is also her minion nickname of 'Bear Trap' given by Giovanni.

Western Animation

 * The Care Bears are technicolor teddy bear-like bears with a Belly Badge (special symbols on their bellies related to their personality and magical powers). They often help children on Earth, along with foiling the plans of various evil beings.
 * Fluffy and Uranus are pink and blue teddy bear-esque office assistants to Duckman. They are both cute to an exaggerated level along with their politically correct nature, but can come off as needlessly annoying.
 * Andy Panda is a cute panda cub who goes on all kinds on adventures around the world.
 * Winnie-the-Pooh is an adorably ditzy yellow teddy bear who wears a red shirt and loves to eat honey. He lives in the 100-Acre Wood, where he often plays with Christopher Robin and his other friends.
 * 5.0.5 from Villainous is a large blue bear with a yellow flower growing out of his head. He is a failed experiment created by Dr.Flug that turned out adorable and cowardly instead of threatening, but he's been known to pull off impressive feats of invulnerability when the situation calls for it.

Real Life

 * As a rule, bear cubs are incredibly cute! Whether they're grizzly bears, black bears, panda bears, or any of the other numerous species out there, it's hard to resist the urge to cuddle and snuggle with one. But if you ever run into one in the wild,  keep your distance.  Mother bears are infamously protective of their cubs and no matter your intentions, they will fuck you up six ways to Sunday if they catch you anywhere near them.
 * Adult bears look dopey and innocent when they aren't actively hunting and causing trouble, and are particularly cute when they act like humans, as shown by these photographs. This does not make them any less dangerous so for all that is holy, please don't try to hug or pet one in real life.
 * Fuzzy, soft, and achingly adorable, teddy bears are among the most beloved children's toys around the world for a damn good reason. And they can thank U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt for that: the first teddy bear was created in response to a series of satirical comics and drawings made in response to Teddy refusing to shoot a bear his men had incapacitated during a hunting trip. While the bear itself was an adult, most artists interpretations made it out to be a frightened little cub which won the hearts of many an American. So when Morris Mitchom and his wife decided to sell toy bears named after "Teddy's Bear" they were a massive hit, and the rest is history.
