''The Berenstain Bears Meet Bigpaw'' is a Thanksgiving-themed animated television special based on the Berenstain Bears children's book series by Stan and Jan Berenstain. Produced by Buzz Potamkin and directed by Mordicai Gerstein and Al Kouzel, the program made its debut on NBC on November 20, 1980.〔Shaw, Jane. ("Christmas tree is focus of Berenstain Bears' newest adventure." ) Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 1980-12-02, p. 32.〕 The television special inspired a book, ''The Berenstain Bears' Thanksgiving'', published by Scholastic in 1997. ==Development== Stan and Jan Berenstain's first animated holiday special aired on NBC in December of 1979. The Berenstain Bears' Christmas Tree was the first of five annual animated specials that would air on NBC, produced by Joe Cates and the Joseph Cates Production Company. The Berenstain Bears Meet Bigpaw was the second in this series. The Berenstains utilized rhyming couplets in the script - for both the narrator and the character dialogue. This element had also been used in the Christmas Tree special and was familiar to audiences since a similar type of writing was used in the Berenstain Bears Beginner Books series.〔 〕 The special is officially the first appearance of the Bigpaw character in the Berenstain Bears series. A precursor to Bigpaw, Great Natural Bear, appeared in ''The Bears' Almanac'' in 1973 and is the basis on which Bigpaw was developed. Bigpaw appears in several subsequent books and in the CBS cartoon series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Berenstain Bears Meet Bigpaw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
