Ojo, with Snowbear.

Ojoprototype

An early build of Ojo, circa mid-1997

Ojo is a bear cub with a strong imagination who has her own room in the Big Blue House.

Ojo is curious and inquisitive and makes up lots of fun games. Overall, she's a good planner, and can be described as driven; Bear has said that "once Ojo sets her mind to something, there's no stopping her."[cite]

In the fourth season of Bear in the Big Blue House, she starts exploring more of Woodland Valley on her bike. At first, she rides with training wheels. After an early failed attempt at taking them off, she tries again and is able to ride without them. A change of her appearance in the fourth season (or, like Bear's pointy eyes, occasionally seen) is a more spherical nose rather than a flat one.

Like Bear, one of Ojo's favorite foods is honey. Besides the kids in the Big Blue House, Ojo also has a rabbit-friend named Christine who sometimes comes over to play. Ojo has a beloved stuffed bear named Snowbear.

Ojo enjoys being in charge. She creates an orchestra in "Music to My Ears" and later hosts "The Ojolympics."

Ojo has an episode all about her titled "You Go, Ojo!" It also features a song by the same name. Ojo's imagination sometimes causes her to imagine monsters, but Bear helps her to get to sleep in the song "Go to Bed, Sleepy Head."

Notable episodes[]

  • "A Wagon of a Different Color" - Ojo decides to paint Bear's wagon, but isn't sure at first exactly what color to paint it. She learns that it's possible to mix colors to create other colors.
  • "Lost Thing" - Ojo loses her stuffed toy Snowbear and is worried that she'll never find it. Bear and the rest of his friends band together to help her search for it.
  • "Friends for Life" - When the other kids notice that Ojo is too busy to play, they discover she's found a new friend.
  • "The Big Blue Housecall" - While the other kids of the Big Blue House happily get a checkup from Doc Hogg, Ojo hides. She worries that it's going to hurt if she has to get a shot.

Notes[]

  • Ojo was originally named "Jojo" and was going to be Bear's niece. In test footage for the series, the Baby Bear puppet from The Muppet Show was used for the character.[1]
