Fantazy the Bear
There is room for everyone in the Land of the Eternal Sunshine. For the Wizard, occupied with his magic tricks, for the Frog, engaged in practical things. For Wesołek the Bug who fills his time goofing around. Two girls: Riddle and Julia complete the picture, and the Monster, known as the Prince of Darkness, adds a touch of menace and suspense, necessary in every story. All of them create a circle around the main character – Fantazy the Bear, the blue child of happiness. These characters are submerged in the miraculous space of the Island, where grasses sing lullabies and nature, while undergoing its cycle of changes, spins its eternal tale of birth and death. But if we only listen carefully to the sound of the instruments we can be transported to a parallel reality filled with unknown worlds, abandoned castles, exotic lands. A moment is all it takes to be transported to new dream-like dimensions, to gain new experiences, but then always return safely home. „The Adventures of Fantazy the Bear” is a fairytale showing the power of love, which, by taking the shape of goodness, friendship, fidelity or happiness strives to encompass the world and render other people better.

Title song from the series:
The world took me on its wings
Touch of the sun on my face
Up in the sky like a bird
Winds by my side dancing around
The world I can see
It’s the magic of dreams I’m dreaming
Flying, flying,
Over the rainbow
I’m flying now,
It’s my sunlight way
Forests singing all day and night
Flowers whisper as I fly
They will see all my dreams come true
It’s my magic
Flying, flying,
Stars all around
I am flying now,
What a joyful day.
