The characters popularity has grown since first appearing on Ricky's Website in 2005, and have gone on to feature in the Onedotzero international film festival, Pictoplasma's Characters In Motion book and DVD, and in The Office episode of BBC1's Comedy Connections TV show.

Recently the creators of Bears3 have claimed that television advertisements for the Irish Lotto have striking similarities to Bears3.[1] In an article in the Irish Metro [2] Matt Clark says he was "shocked and taken aback" at the similarities in between the lotto ads and Bears3. Cathal Gaffney speaking on behalf of Brown Bag Films, the animation company who worked on the lotto ads, suggest that Bears3 are "obscure" and hadn't been broadcast.
