Upon learning that Cub got separated from his parents, Little Bear and his friends embark on a journey to help him reunite with his parents while coming face-to-face with a ferocious mountain lion along the way. The Little Bear Movie was co-produced by Nelvana Limited and Wild Things Productions Inc. The film was released direct-to-video on August 7, 2001, by Paramount Home Entertainment in the United States and Canada.

In addition to Lesley Barber's instrumental track from the series, The Little Bear Movie features two original songs composed by Marc Jordan and Anthony Vanderbilt and performed by Shawn Colvin: "Great Big World" and "Everybody Wants To Paint My Picture."
