Here’s another episode that we do not have any new characters to introduce. Isn’t it a shame that we do not know who voiced Nicky Freudl? He has a great voice, very similar to Jimmy. I’m inclined to believe that it was a child around the same age as Judy and Jimmy. Download all of … Continue reading Cinnamon Bear Episode #24
Happy Winter Solstice! Enjoy the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere! Here’s another episode where we do not have a new character to introduce.

It may be politically incorrect by today’s standards, but back then this was a very common way to portray indians. I think it’s … Continue reading Cinnamon Bear Episode #19

Hanley Stafford is the voice of Snapper Snick. Born in Hanley, England, this is obviously where he got his stage name. He is best remembered for playing Lancelot Higgins, aka Daddy on Baby Snooks, a radio show that he acted in for 14 years from December 1937 (right after The Cinnamon Bear aired) until the … Continue reading Cinnamon Bear Episode #15
This episode marks the first appearance of the lovely Queen Melissa. She is portrayed by Rosa Barcelo, who is also credited as playing Joan Gregory in Magic Island.
