text: We Bare Bears

text: Plot[edit]

text: We Bare Bears follows three adoptive bear brothers: Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear. The bears attempt to integrate with human society, such as by purchasing food, making human companions or trying to become famous on the Internet, although these attempts see the bears struggle to do so due to the civilized nature of humans and their own animal instincts.[3] However, in the end, they figure out that they have each other for support.[4] One notable aspect of the show's humor is the bears' ability to form a "bear stack". As its name implies, the bears stack on top of each other, which serves as their unique way of transportation.[3] Occasionally, the bears share adventures with their friends, such as child prodigy Chloe, bigfoot Charlie, internet sensation Nom Nom, Park Ranger Tabes and produce saleswoman Lucy.

text: Occasionally, there are flashback episodes which chronicle the adventures of the bears as cubs trying to find a home. So far the only cub episodes of the series are "The Road", "Pet Shop", "The Island", "Baby Bears on a Plane", "$100" and "The Fair". There have been two episodes centered on one bear, "Burrito" (Grizz), and "Yuri and the Bear" (Ice Bear). There is a Panda one in development.[5]

text: Characters[edit]

text: Bears[edit]

text:
Grizzly ("Grizz" for short) (voiced by Eric Edelstein, Sam Lavagnino as a cub) is a grizzly bear. The oldest and the de facto leader of the brothers, Grizz is a fun-loving bear who tends to get the others into random hijinks. Grizz is paradoxically highly sociable yet socially inept. Despite this, he is constantly wanting to meet new people and tries to befriend everyone he comes across. As a baby, he was rescued by a team of firemen who prevented him from falling off a tree-top during a storm. It seems that he was younger than in most baby bear episodes according to the flashback pictures in "Burrito." It was mentioned by Ice Bear that Grizz writes poems in English, as well as being a DJ and a beatboxer. He also possesses an alter ego as Crowbar Jones who is the star of a series of cheesy home made action movies. Despite Grizz's desire to be loved by everyone, he still puts his brothers first and foremost and can't bare to be separated from them. He has a strange love-hate relationship with Nom Nom, whom he looks up to due to his popularity, yet acknowledges that he can be mean and sometimes untrustworthy.
Panda (voiced by Bobby Moynihan, Duncan Joiner as a cub) is a giant panda. He is the middle brother and is nicknamed Pan-Pan by Grizz. He is tender-hearted and gets embarrassed or anxious easily. Panda has a lot less self-confidence than his brothers. He is good with technology, and uses that skill on online social media and dating sites, with which he finds little to no success. He is also the one who "falls in love" the most quickly. Often several times to court several human girls, most notably Lucy the produce girl who has platonic feelings for him. He is the most creative of the brothers, having written songs in "Everyone's Tube" , and undoubtedly the "cutest" as settled in "Panda's Sneeze." Panda is a vegetarian and has severe allergies to peanuts and cats. It has been revealed that Panda likes Anime and enjoys other things related to Japanese culture. He can be seen eating Ramen in multiple episodes, and in "Hibernation" he is seen eating a snack similar to Pocky. Panda also attends community college where he majors in art as revealed in "Panda's Art."
Ice Bear (voiced by Demetri Martin) is a polar bear and the youngest brother. Ice Bear is often stoic and rarely speaks. When he does, he speaks mostly in the third person and mostly says his name first before anything else. He learned to talk much later than his two brothers, as revealed in "The Island". He is multilingual, having been shown to speak Korean, French, Japanese (on "Losing Ice") and Russian fluently. Ice Bear also is able to speak to pigeons in the episode "Our Stuff." He is also a skilled chef, dancer, piano player, a novice at robotics, charade player (on "My Clique"; it was revealed on "The Island" that he learnt to speak very late, and originally used his charades skills to communicate) , welder, poet (which he writes in French) and a mixed martial artist ( cited as Brazilian jiu-jitsu on "Chloe", but his skill set is closer to Taekwondo and judo with skills in Nunchaku, Shuriken and swords). Ice is the most composed of the brothers, always maintaining an "ice-cool attitude" in even the most awkward and embarrassing of situations. As seen in "Losing Ice", his brothers often take him for granted and are unappreciative of all the cooking and cleaning he does, although they eventually realize the error of their ways. Ice Bear sleeps in the refrigerator with a fire axe which he can use with either hand. It was revealed in "Yuri and the Bear" that Ice bear was raised by a Russian man named Yuri. This is how he learned to speak Russian, and because Yuri spoke exclusively in third person, this is most likely how Ice Bear obtained the habit. He earned accommodation by learning to chop wood, cook salmon, read maps, study calculus, knit, play Uno with standard cards and speak Russian and English, but was cut adrift when Yuri let him go to save him from the poachers, and the ice floated down to the Bay Area. All three bears are ambidextrous.

text:
Chloe Park (voiced by Charlyne Yi) is a 10-year-old[6] (9 in Season 1) Korean-American girl. She is a child prodigy and attends college in the city. In "Chloe," she breaks into the Bears' cave to study them for a college presentation, and along the way, she befriends the bears. She doesn't have many friends other than the bears and has a hard time relating to her much older peers. In "My Clique," Chloe finally makes some friends with her college classmates, albeit with the help of the Bears. In the same episode she is revealed to be bilingual. Chloe devotes most of her time to studying in the hopes of having a secure future and becomes stressed when it seems like she is on the verge of failing as evidenced in "The Library" and "Professor Lampwick". Despite knowing full well that the bears mean well, their antics sometimes stress her too. Nevertheless, she adores them and will often rely on them for help.

Mr. Park (voiced by Jinkoo Jeong) is Chloe's father. He was initially reserved about Chloe hanging out with the bears, but warms up to their presence in "Slumber Party". He is bilingual.
Mrs. Park (voiced by Niki Yang) is Chloe's mother. She is very supportive of Chloe's friendship with the bears as evidenced when she makes sandwiches for them in "Chloe and Ice Bear". She is bilingual.

Nom Nom (voiced by Patton Oswalt) is a koala. He is a famous internet star, known for his "cute" videos. While he doesn't talk in any of his videos, Nom Nom often swears angrily towards everyone he comes in contact with, especially the bears. Grizzly imposes him enough to talk to him and admits that he liked his video, but Nom Nom is self-centered and more concerned with materialistic things, and is very selfish and lashes out at anyone who he doesn't like. In "Viral Video," Nom Nom says that he does not want any friends because he finds them unimportant and too loud, and proves his point by kicking Grizz out of his limo. His temper is so short, he lashes out at anyone who even slightly annoys him. In "Anger Management", it's revealed that Grizz's hugs genuinely calm him to the point of making him optimistic. He has further shown a more tolerant side. In "Nom Nom's Entourage," he saves a picture of his time with the Bears and in "Kyle," opened his home to another koala who claimed to be his brother.
Charlie (voiced by Jason Lee) is a bigfoot who wanders alone around the San Francisco woods until he meets the Bears in "Charlie," where they agree to let him live in their cave for a little while via a website called CaveShare. It is revealed that, due to his life of solitude, he is socially inept and doesn't know how to be a good friend. This results in him unintentionally causing havoc for the Bears whenever he hangs out with them. He is also constantly harassed by the media trying to get pictures of him, which results in him being afraid of cameras. In the episode "Charlie Ball," we see that Charlie is extremely skilled at ball-handling, and that his height makes him perfect for basketball. In "Charlie's Big Foot," Charlie is revealed to have blue colored blood and a very bendable body due to constantly being harmed by the wilderness which he seems to view as perfectly normal. He also sees Panda as his best friend.
Ranger Dana Tabes (voiced by Cameron Esposito) is a park ranger. She lives in a cabin located in the park where the Bears live. They first meet her in "Ranger Tabes" where she helps them locate a missing package. She is shown to be overly confident, persistent and even downright obsessive with wanting to help the Bears. Her obsession is explored in "Creature Mysteries" where she tries to capture and prove Charlie's existence. In that same episode, it's revealed that her mother was also a park ranger and the one who inspired her to become one. Her obsession is also prominent in "Poppy Rangers" where she was willing to lead a team of girl scouts into a dangerous cave, against Grizz's wishes. Despite her personality, the Bears consider her their friend. In "Citizen Tabes", it is revealed that her first name is Dana.

Kirk Is a dog that Tabes was given as a Christmas present by the Bears in "Christmas Parties". In "Lunch with Tabes," he is shown to be rather clever and mischievous.
Ranger Martinez (voiced by Keith Ferguson) is Tabes' partner. He has been a park ranger since Tabes was a child and was initially her mother's partner. In his old age he is always asleep in a swivel chair and is shown to be rather laid back. He is also very friendly with the Bears. In "Lunch with Tabes," a simple work fan is capable of moving him about the room while he is snoozing.

Lucy (voiced by Ellie Kemper) is a friend to the Bears and runs a produce delivery service called Lucy's Produce. She first appears in "Panda's Date" where she takes an immediate liking to the Bears and their goofy personalities. Panda quickly (as usual) develops a crush on her, but she seems to be unaware of his feelings. She finally returns in "Lucy's Brother" where it is revealed that she delivers fruit to the Bears every Friday. In that same episode she is shown to have a younger brother named Clifford whom she cares for and worries over immensely. She is shown to be a terrible dancer. She has a mutual friendship with Panda and considers him a great friend.

Clifford (voiced by Hudson West) is Lucy's younger brother. He has many allergies and has trouble socializing with others. He constantly wanders off and is very shy. He starts to like Panda once he is considered a friend. He gets defensive of his sister, seen as he is aware that many boys attempts to get close to her. He and Panda reconciled and consider each other close friends.

Miki-Chan is a pillow with a picture of an anime school girl on it. Miki-Chan belongs to Panda who acts as something akin to a security blanket for him. He also uses "her" as a pretend girlfriend when he feels lonely or stressed. Panda is very protective of Miki-Chan and hates it when others use or steal her. In "Crowbar Jones," Grizz uses her as the girlfriend of the titular movie character which annoys Panda.
Captain Craboo is the Bears' pet crab whom they adopted in the episode "Emergency". He actually came from the super market which Grizz went to buy food and immediately fell in love with the crab. Unfortunately, it pinches onto Ice Bear's ear causing him to become catatonic and deranged. Grizz and Panda eventually get Craboo off of Ice Bear and resort to giving him tiny mitts so that he doesn't pinch Ice Bear again. He returns in "Captain Craboo" where it is revealed that he has been gone for quite some time and that Ice Bear still has not forgiven him. However, the two later make up. In that same episode, Craboo attacks Nom Nom, making him a wanted fugitive. By the end of the episode, Craboo solemnly leaves the Bears.
The Mailman (voiced by Keith Ferguson) is a friendly mailman that occasionally visits the Bears. He first appears in "Nom Nom" where he delivers a toy helicopter to the Bears. He falls into a pit where Ice Bear was trapped by Nom Nom. He shows that he doesn't mind the situation and also didn't seem to mind being left there. He returns in "Crowbar Jones" where he was invited to see the titular movie that Grizz had made. He was easily impressed by it and based on his reactions, simply wishes to have friends. In "Citizen Tabes," he was also impressed with Tabes' packaging to the point that he was willing to listen to her ramble about how she did it.
Mad Scientist (voiced by Jason Mantzoukas) is an unnamed scientist who is constantly plotting against the government. He first appears in "Grizz Helps" where Grizz answers a want ad for someone to aid him in traveling back in time. He was going to use a chicken named Mark as a test subject and Grizz had to rescue him for its owner. The scientist reappeared in "Summer Love" with a pelican assistant named Gary and tried to use a body swapping machine on Panda. He revealed that he once had a girlfriend named Amelia who joined the space program, implying one of reasons he kept conspiring against the government.

text: Production[edit]

text: The show was created by cartoonist Daniel Chong, who had previously worked as a story artist for Pixar and Illumination Entertainment. The show is based on his webcomic The Three Bare Bears, which also features the identifying characters. The comic was published from 2010 to 2011.[7] Billed as a comedy, the show is a production of Cartoon Network Studios, which developed the program with Chong as part of their shorts development program. It was announced during the network's 2014 upfront.[4]

text: Nom Nom and Charlie were initially voiced by Ken Jeong and Tom Arnold, respectively, before getting recast sometime before airing. The show's visual simplistic look was inspired by classic hand-drawn animation akin to Charlie Brown and The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh.[8]

Described by the institute as "hilarious and endearing",[11] the pilot won in the "Young Amsterdam Audience" category.[12]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: We Bare Bears has received generally positive reviews from critics. Kevin Johnson from The A.V. Club gave "Everyday Bears" a B. He thought the show was charming enough to enjoy, but not "must-watch". He praised the voice actors, but was disappointed that the show did not thoroughly explore the discrimination humans have towards the bears and ended by calling it a "very good 'just okay' kind of show" until the discrimination is explored.[13]

text: VMware Horizon View

text: Features[edit]

text: VMware Horizon View provides virtual desktop capabilities to users utilizing VMware's virtualization technology. A desktop operating system - typically Microsoft Windows - runs within a virtual machine on a hypervisor. The VMware View product has a number of components which are required to provide the virtual desktops, including:

tag: p

text:
VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi with a vSphere license)
VMware vCenter Server (management of virtualization environment)
View Composer (advanced View management, with automation and cloning)
View Manager (administration of the View Environment)
View Client (communication between View and the desktop OS)
VMware ThinApp (application virtualization)
View Persona Management (user profile management)
vShield Endpoint (offloaded desktop antivirus)

text: Although VMware licenses vSphere hypervisor per physical CPU-socket,[3] it licenses VMware View per concurrent desktop.[4] The bundled hypervisor, vSphere for Desktops, is functionally equivalent to vSphere Enterprise Plus.[5]

text: VMware View has two licensing options, Enterprise and Premier. Enterprise comes with vSphere for Desktops, vCenter Server, and View Manager, and has an MSRP of $150 per concurrent desktop. View Composer, Persona Management, vShield Endpoint, and ThinApp are included in the Premier edition at an MSRP of $250 per concurrent desktop.[6]

text: In order to transport the desktop resources to users, keyboard, video, mouse and other interactions travel over a network connection. VMware View supports the VMware Blast Extreme, Microsoft RDP, and the Teradici PCoIP[7] protocols.

text: Users establish client connections to VMware View sessions by running the VMware View Client, through a web browser using HTML5[8], or using a thin client that supports the protocols in use. The VMware View client supports Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, while ChromeOS is able to connect through the web browser.

text: Ubuntu 12.10 can login to VMware View desktops directly from the login screen.[9]
