Bears That Bring Scenes to Life

At TV Bears International, we showcase a unique range of bears available for film, television, commercials, live events, and red carpet premieres. From highly realistic cinematic bears to approachable family-friendly characters, each bear is ready to adapt to a variety of productions and appearances. This page highlights the bears currently available as well as upcoming characters in development.

No Rentals, No Reveals

Our bears are never rented out. They are paired exclusively with our trained actors and coordinators to ensure consistency, brand safety, and professionalism. We also never perform “reveals.” This commitment maintains character integrity and keeps the bears viable for a wide range of returning and new clients. Under special circumstances, we may supervise a dancer to deliver a specific choreographed piece, but this remains at our discretion and is always handled with the same care to maintain character integrity.

With worldwide availability, our bears are ready to travel wherever your production or event requires.

Client Testimonials

Our company (Dare Foods Ltd.) worked with Matt and his company on an advertising campaign in the summer of 2023 for our Bear Paws brand and I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience! Matt and his team are talented professionals who have produced incredibly life-like bear suits and the added bonus is that Matt M and his colleague have the capability and experience to act in the suits, which is no easy feat. Our production shoot went exactly as planned and the creative output was business and brand building. We value our partnership with Matt's team and we look forward to doing more work together moving forward.

Matthew and his bear were absolute champions on a hard one day shoot. Everything hinged on him and we never missed a beat. The client was over the moon happy with him and the final product. I hope I am able to bring him back form many more projects.

*Executive Producer* Lowes Foods

Matthew was collaborative, flexible, and extremely helpful on a project I worked with him on - a short film about a bear invading a neighborhood. I'm proud to say that our collaboration has created great success for the film which has been celebrated across the world. Matt's ability to problem solve and troubleshoot is excellent, as is his ability to communicate with his team, who executed our project to the utmost perfection. 10/10 would recommend!
