That's the problem with TV and film adaptations of books - everyone has a picture in their head of how the characters look and sound, what resonates with them personally and what doesn't. As soon as you take those things and make them into moving pictures, you diverge from those internalised imaginings.
My idea of how a speaking bear should sound might be completely different from yours. And different again from the TV series creator's. Ditto the look and feel of the characters and the whole world. And with fantasy stuff, it's even harder because it's more loosely rooted in any sort of reality.
