It's not just a "smarter than the average" bear. I find this one cute, cuddly, and I wish my little teddy bear can transform and save me from goons! I bet he can twirl the goon way better than he did with the stick.
And imagining Kuma, I wonder what else this bear can do with his four paws.
Also, does this have something to do with the upcoming Kung Fu Panda sequel?
