Actually it looks more or less the same if a bit brighter, you can't see a bear there no matter how hard you try.

That's because the 'dipper' is only a part of the bear - ursa major proper has quite a few more stars in it. Though, not disagreeing, it's a real stretch to describe it as truly "bear shaped" (Ursa Minor is even less reasonable)
