Before Bear in the Big Blue House began regular production, a 12 minute test pilot was produced to demonstrate the characters, style and feel of the show. It featured the main characters of the show including Bear, Tutter and brown versions of Pip and Pop (then known as Pummel and Pop") and others in an early version of "Water Water Everywhere". The pilot was directed by David Gumpel. Aside from this not much else is known about this pilot as only a single screenshot has surfaced.
