The strength of this series aimed at preschoolers (and not) is both the extraordinary quality of the 3D images, the faithful reconstruction of all the objects, the textures, the fluidity and credibility of the animations, and the disruptive sympathy of the characters. , all characterized very well starting from little Masha, a character destined to last over time and to carve out a place of honor among the various cult cartoon characters. Each episode deals with a theme and a final moral addressed to children: the importance of going to school, music, Christmas, cooking, growth and much more. Apart from Masha all the animals express themselves with gestures, while the little girl is voiced by Luca Tesei and Sara Tesei.

 Masha: extremely funny and direct, Masha is a little Russian girl of about 5 years old, who lives in a house on the edge of the woods and near the railway. He loves lollipops and candies more than anything else, but he also has an unbridled passion for the trophies and cups won by Bear, which often become his game tools. Curious and crafty, as only a child can be, she always chats and loves to tell stories, as well as tormenting Bear with a thousand impossible questions and requests, which Bear often accepts both out of desperation and because she loves her.
Bear: he comes from the circus life, he is orderly, fussy, educated and with anthropomorphic features; after leaving the circus he decided to make a tree his home. Already in the organization of the domestic environment one understands its quiet and sleepy character, which finds in the visits of the super active Masha moments of joy and fun, but also fear, so much so that it is often forced to confine the child in punishment, dressing in the authority of a father. Bear does not speak, he communicates with different gestures and tones of roars to communicate with Masha, and although at times he is exasperated by the little girl's findings, he would not be able to live without her. Orso is very good at any activity and profession he carries out with enviable speed: carpenter, cook, painter, house painter, magician and even inventor. Her favorite hobbies are model making, crosswords and puzzles. The animals of the courtyard: in the yard of Masha's house there are chickens, a dog, a goat and a pig.

During the first episode, roosters and hens also appear in the courtyard. Despite the goat
she is always very lazy and only thinks about eating, she is often involved by Masha in spite of herself.

In the final episodes he turns out to be a very good dancer and choreographer.  She-bear: hit the heart of Bear who is madly in love with her.

Episode 48 - Family Tree
Bear owns a photo album where all his parental descent is illustrated, up to the time of the Egyptians, but he does not know the progenitor of his family tree. He then decides to study physics and electronic engineering until he invented a time machine. Attracted by the lights coming out of Bear's house, Masha enters just as the time machine transports Bear to the Stone Age, inside a cave. Here he meets his ancestor Caveman Bear, also with a child similar to Masha but dressed in stone-age skins. Masha is also transported to prehistoric times and has the opportunity to meet giant butterflies and dinosaurs. While the two Bears hug each other happy at that meeting, the Masha of the caves destroys the time machine of the Bear, with blows of the club that brings her together with its inventor in the present time, while the other Masha remains imprisoned in the age of the dinosaurs. The caveman Masha immediately goes to hunt the rabbit, intent as usual to steal carrots from the Bear's garden, while the other Masha teaches the cave bear to light a fire to warm up his food and to juggle with the stones . Bear captures the cave masha before she wreaks havoc on forest animals and lava, teaching her the beauty of staying clean and tidy. Meanwhile, he also manages to fix the time machine and return to the age of the caves to recover his Masha and return the caveman Masha to his ancestor. Eventually Bear can finally complete his family album, with the image of the prehistoric bear.
