Alyson is one of the most wonderful people you could ever know in the world. Her smile fills the room and extinguishes  the foulest of moods, and her voice sings life and emotion into the characters she becomes. I met Alyson a couple years ago and was instantly captivated by her talent, so when I created TAMI I knew I had to ask Alyson to give this "hard shell, full of wires and chips" a big bear heart and the power it takes to defeat the toughest trolls in the lair. You can hear Alyson as countless beloved characters in amazing shows and video games. For me a few of those favorites include Ewoks, The Care Bears, Beetlejuice, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, X-Men and The Big Comfy Couch. Thank you Alyson for being a big part in the Lair of Forgotten Bears adventure!

Meet LOST and FOUND: Two best friends who have lived together in the abandoned arcade for many years. In episode 6: Lost and Found, you'll learn why these two furry friends stayed here and never traveled to the Lair of Forgotten Bears after being forgotten so many years ago. The Forgotten Bears and the Keepsafe Bears will have to work fast to help Lost and Found, because Kobold has a brand new bad news plan in the works, and if it works it could take away happiness and cheer from the Forgotten Bears and their loved ones in the world of kids. 

Chad is an amazing screen actor and one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He is full of positive energy, extreme enthusiasm, and an overall fountain of fun. When creating BONE BREATH it was Chad's voice I heard coming from this not-so-bad-guy-bad-guy-toy's boney mouth, and I thank Chad for helping me bring this goofy henchman of THE FOE to life. You can see Chad playing many great characters in movies and TV shows like, The Fats and The Furious, Supernatural, CSI:NY, and Sneaky Pete. Thank you Chad for all you are and continue to be!  

Welcome to TUNE-OUT ARCADE, an abandoned video game arcade from the late 1980's. This is where the Forgotten Bears must travel as they search for a lost Forgotten Bear. With the help of the Keepsafe Bears, the fluffy friends must find the little Teddy bear and take him home before Kobold can get there first and ruin the Forgotten Bears plan.

You know Richie as the voice of the fluffy, lovable Forgotten Bear, RING TOSS. When I created NORTTRON I knew Richie was the perfect person to give this little robot toy a big, powerful voice. You can see Nortton in action, and hear Richie's voice in episode 5: No One Like You. Thank you Richie for your amazing talent and support of the Forgotten Bears!

Welcome to the Li-Bear-Y! The story of the Lair of Forgotten Bears can be traced back a hundred years, and it's here where the Forgotten Bears come to read all about the adventures and lives of Forgotten Bears from History. The Li-Bear-Y also holds the Book of Bears. This giant book lists the names of all the Forgotten Bears in the lair. In episode 6 the Forgotten Bears visit the Li-Bear-Y to look up the name of a Forgotten Bear who is missing. Together with the Keepsafe Bears, the Forgotten Bears travel into the world of kids to find this lost bear and take him home.

I met Erin way back in 2013 in the middle of nowhere outside the city of Fargo. We became quick friends and have been since that day. This is Erin's first animated character and she played the Foe's leading lady, BORI TORI beautifully. In the past Erin starred in the horror movies "Paranormal Entity," "Dwelling," and has appeared in the tv show "Ray Donovan." I can't thank Erin enough for being a part of the Forgotten Bears adventures.

It was one year ago, in December of 2019, the Forgotten Bears in the Lair introduced themselves to kids all over the world. It has been an amazing adventure for me, creating this magical world and bringing the Forgotten Bears to life in the imaginations of children. I look back at the very first episode, the Christmas Special: "Letters to Santa," and compare it to the newest, "No One Like You," and can't help but envision where the Forgotten Bears will go in the year to come. This passion project, fueled by my love of storytelling and fantasy, has come so far in its first year, and I have so much more planned for the future. My goal was then and will always be creating a family-friendly animated series your kids will love, filled with characters that ignite their imaginations and spirits of adventure. 

I have to thank my friends, who have volunteered their time to give the Forgotten Bears their voices, and in turn their hearts and souls. I am so grateful for your kindness and I appreciate every single one of you! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting me and this ambitious project. With every episode we grow, and with help from you and hopefully others in the months to come there's no limit to where the Forgotten Bears can go.

And thank you for watching and sharing the Lair of Forgotten Bears with all the kids in your life. My promise to you and them is: I will always create a world and characters promoting kindness, honesty, love and friendship.

Meet the voices of Ring Toss and Chatter, the best bear friends in the Lair of Forgotten Bears.

Ring Toss comes to life from the heart and soul of Richie Ammons. Richie is new to the world of voice acting, but his talents are taking him places and I couldn't be happier he has joined the Forgotten Bear family. Ring Toss wouldn't be the kind and loving bear he is without Richie. You can hear more of Richie's voice acting work at his site: https://voice123.com/richieammonsvo

Chatter is the lovable little troublemaker in the Lair of Forgotten Bears, which is exactly why I asked my friend and actress Jennifer Lynn Warren to give Chatter his always cheerful voice. Your parents might have seen Jennifer in the scary tv show "American Horror Story," where she played a very frightening character — One you might want to wait to watch until you're a little bit older — But as Chatter, Jennifer shows just how sweet and charming she can be. 

The Keepsafe Bears live in our world; in a house you can find in any suburb, in any town, and in any state. When it came to designing the house I decided to model it after a very special house I grew up in, located in the suburbs of San Francisco. It was in this house where I discovered my love of art, and it was also where me and my Teddy bear, Barry had many adventures together. That's me on my brand new bike outside the house, and my best friend Petey sitting on the curb, who was more like the older brother I never had. There are a few updates and renovations I made to the house as you can see, but the heart of the home is still there. I can't wait for you to step inside this house and meet the Keepsafe Bears. It's going to be an epic and exciting adventure, which connects our world with the fantastic world of the Forgotten Bears.
