Overall

 * 1) They are iconic and well-known characters, and some of the most iconic characters in children's media.
 * 2) They both make a great team together on the same level as Ren and Stimpy. While Bear is usually calm, responsible, organized, relatable, and likeable, Masha is misbehaved at times, but friendly, sassy, ​​energetic, funny, and likeable.
 * 3) They represent an excellent friendship, while Masha can annoy Bear at times and vice versa, the two are best friends and care a lot about each other.
 * 4) Like Tom and Jerry, you don't have to listen a lot to understand what they mean, because although Bear can't speak and Masha rarely speaks, all they want to say is is shown through their expressive personalities.

Masha

 * 1) Although she causes a lot of damage, she is never cruel to anyone.
 * 2) Despite her messy and mischievous personality, she cares about Bear and the other animals in the forest, which is shown frequently.
 * 3) She is very intelligent, to the point where she can construct a van and say many words, even though she is only 3 years old.
 * 4) *There are also moments just as impressive as this, like when she can drag Bear up and down with just one hand!

 * 6) Her design is very cute and creative.
 * 7) Despite what QTGYEY #5 says, her voice is good, even though it sounds really old.

Bear

 * 1) He's the most sympathetic between the two. This happens due to him being friendly, affectionate, likeable, good-hearted, honest, skillful, responsible and relatable.
 * 2) The way he gets mad at Masha is hilarious.
 * 3) *For example, in the episode "Two Much", he confuses Masha with Masha's cousin Dasha because they look so similar. Since Dasha doesn't know Bear, she thinks that Bear will do her some harm and throws books at Bear. When the real Masha appears, Bear roars right in front of Masha, who laughs a lot.
 * 4) He is very skilled, as he can do juggling, uncycling and even magic without difficulty.
 * 5) He can also be treated likeable at times due to Masha treating him like a Megward the Wizard.
 * 6) The roars he makes are funny and great
