Plot
And it all started with the fact that one day the girl Masha, lost in the forest, finds a lonely house in which the Bear lives. Masha, with her characteristic liveliness, mischief and stubbornness, begins to turn the boring and too calm everyday life of an intelligent Bear into unbearably fun and difficult days. Yes, friendship is different! And if Masha is happy with a new acquaintance, then the bear simply lost peace.
Every day, Masha manages to get into various troubles. Moreover, it causes harm not only to herself, but also to those who surround her. A girl is able to smash down a bear’s house in a couple of moments, break a fence, chop dishes, blow up, tear and lose something… But the Bear has nothing to do but keep his eyes peeled. Now he considers himself responsible for the safety and upbringing of a new little friend.

Even the local pair of wild Wolves did not expect that the girl would not be afraid of them. Quite the contrary – now the wolves are afraid of Masha! After all, her ideas are so unpredictable and sometimes dangerous that the animals simply do not want to mess with her, preferring to tighten their tails and run away. But Masha is not a tormentor, just her kindness is a little obsessive and non-standard.
Now the life of forest animals will not be the same. After all, Masha appeared in their life. The girl is growing, her hobbies are changing, but her friends remain the same. But over time, it’s Masha who has to rescue the Bear and other forest inhabitants. There are even more fun days ahead – the girl begins to travel and find new friends.
