The Cinnamon Bear is arguably the best holiday series ever developed for radio. First heard in1937, this wonderful Christmas fantasy adventure was created and written by Glanville Heisch (with the help of his wife, Elisabeth) for children of all ages. It all starts with twins Judy and Jimmy Barton just before Christmas. Someone - or something - has taken the "Silver Star" from the top of their Christmas tree. The very Irish teddy bear, Paddy O'Cinnamon, comes to their rescue and tells them that the Crazy Quilt Dragon has taken the star to Maybeland. The three venture off to find the Silver Star and come face-to-face with many fantastical characters in Maybeland, including a dragon, a witch, a whale, a queen, a rhyming rabbit, a magician, cowboys, a gentle giant, and even pirates. The adventure concludes with a trip to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus himself!
Many well-known radio actors lent their voices to this popular series, including Howard McNear, Gale Gordon, Verna Felton, Frank Nelson, Elliott Lewis, Lou Merrill, and Joseph Kearns. Judy Barton was played by Barbara Jean Wong, Jimmy Barton by Tommy Carr, and Paddy O'Cinnamon by Buddy Duncan. Now, in collaboration with the Heisch estate, we bring you allt wenty-six episodes of The Cinnamon Bear,recorded directly from the original masters for superb sound quality.

We would listen to them every year at Christmas. It’s a cute story about family and friendship and belief in Christmas with an underlying current of forgiveness and trust.

This original version:
Main character Jimmy's phrases and manner of speaking remind me of Leave it to Beaver sometimes. Judy is annoyingly whiny.
Excessively repetitive instrumental theme song (played at full length at every episode's beginning and end) got old fast.
None of the characters in this original cast were anywhere near as entertaining or funny as the remake.
It's not terrible, just isn't anywhere close to as enjoyable as the new version! Kind of disappointed because of the comparison. This original is just okay.
2021 remake is way better!
