Papa Bear
“Do not wake the bear in your father.”
When spirited troublemaker Maria pushes her overwhelmed father too far, he takes her to their remote family cabin, hoping a dose of wilderness will teach her discipline. But after a mysterious forest encounter turns him into a bear, Mila must protect her Papa Bear from a local hunter. As the two navigate hilarious mishaps and unexpected bonding, they discover that the wild has a way of bringing families closer—one bear hug at a time.
