The Beary Family (also known as The Beary's Family Album) was a funny animal theatrical cartoon series made by Walter Lantz Studios. Twenty Eight shorts were made from 1962 to 1972, when the studio closed. The series was about Charlie Beary, the incompetent family man, his nagging wife Bessie, their well-meaning but half-witted teenage son Junior and their younger daughter Suzy, who later got a pet goose who never gets along with Charlie.
