| Care Bears (Franchise) | comment |
Teddy bears taken to the next level of cute, with pastel colors and symbols on their chest (known as "tummy symbols" or more recently "belly badges"). They live up in the cloud-city of Care-a-Lot and frequently visit Earth to help out kids who are feeling down. The Bears have names relating to their speciality — Good Luck Bear, Friend Bear, and so forth. Later, "Care Bear Cousins" representing other animals were introduced (Brave Heart Lion, Cozy Heart Penguin, and more); they live in the Forest of Feelings about halfway between Earth and Care-a-Lot.The bears were created by Those Characters From Cleveland and first appeared on American Greetings cards in 1981, contemporary with Strawberry Shortcake. These little guys and gals were a hit right out of the gate when Kenner launched a toy line two years later. They had a lot of animated screentime for the rest of the decade: two specials, a TV series, and three theatrical films over 1985-87. The franchise died in the 90s after a very brief and unsuccessful redesign; compare My Little Pony. The franchise returned after the turn of the millennium.In most of the films and cartoons, they are pitted against various "heartless" villains who want to make the world safe for evil, often by removing people's ability to care for others... or to feel emotions at all. The baddies ranged from the Mad Scientist Professor Coldheart in the specials and the DIC TV episodes to the Evil Spirit of the first movie to the Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain crew of the later Nelvana TV episodes (evil wizard No Heart, his niece Shreeky, and henchman Beastly). When the chips are down, that's when the Care-Bear Stare comes into play.They're one of the most spoofed of The '80s toy lines because of their overly sugary reputation — which is not wholly deserved when one takes some of their villains and plotlines into account. On the other hand, they're still quite popular. In 2000, the characters were relaunched with a toy revival and two direct-to-video animated films. In 2007, a redesigned line of the toys arrived along with another DTV film and a Saturday morning series on CBS, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot. Adventures in Care-A-Lot is out of production, but the character line launched with the Oopsy Does It continued with films such as Share Bear Shines and The Giving Festival.On June 2, 2012, The Hub premiered a new series called Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot, which unfortunately ended up on the chopping board when The Hub changed hands to Discovery Family in October 2014. This possibly occurred because Hasbro neglected the franchise and ended up losing the master license rights to a company called Just Play.note Hasbro obtained the license in late 2007 along with Strawberry Shortcake, but it wasn't until 2012 that the show started airing, and it wasn't until mid-2013 that toys started appearing, which probably displeased American Greetings. However, Netflix commissioned a new show, Care Bears & Cousins. Initially announced for 2016, the show was rushed to production and premiered with six episodes in November 2015 instead. The series is in many ways a continuation of Welcome to Care-a-Lot. It features the same visual style and is clearly set in the same continuity, but adds the Care Bear Cousins and features a much larger role for the young cub character of Wonderheart Bear that was introduced in Welcome to Care-a-Lot.In 2019, a new series subtitled Unlock the Magic was released on Boomerang in the United States and aired on Tiny Pop in the UK, with the characters having an Animesque feel. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "Soap Box Derby", one of the Care Bears creates a bridge out of a rainbow over the oil puddle the boys have made to help the racing girls (Trish and Cathy) get along safely. This gets the boys ticked off: Considering how this "Rainbow Bridge" is getting young viewers who heard about this "pet afterlife" story confused... well... you get the idea. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Although all of the Care Bears get along, some were closer than others: Champ Bear and Bright Heart Raccoon in the Nelvana version. There are almost always seen together. Tenderheart Bear was implied to be this with both Brave Heart Lion and Grumpy Bear also in the Nelvana series. | |

Also, Professor Coldheart and Frostbite up and vanished after the 80s series moved production from DiC to Nelvana; DiC created them, so they couldn't be used (and they weren't brought back when DiC regained the rights later on). | |

Real Dreams are Weirder | |
| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_2547b359 | comment |
Real Dreams are Weirder: In the Adventures in Care-A-Lot TV series, all the Care Bears share a dreamspace where they tend to have rather mundane dreams (where they do the same things they tend to do in their waking lives), so it was rather refreshing to see the bears having more dream-like dreams in the Share Bear Shines movie. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: In the earlier days of the franchise (mainly in the books made before the animated specials and TV series were created) the Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins used to fly away back from a person's home and enter by a rainbow through a window, before Cloud Cars were created for the animated specials. The Care Bear Stare also wasn't used by the characters until the first animated special, which introduced Professor Coldheart, and had a human Cloudkeeper who watched over the bears and was never seen again. In the 1983 album The Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, the Bears need to bring a human boy to Care-a-Lot by having Wish Bear help him to believe in them, and then Bedtime Bear puts him to sleep "so he can dream his way to Care-a-Lot". Nothing like this is ever done in the franchise again. | |

Nobody Poops Well, of course, but Adventure in Wonderland actually goes so far as to show us the inside of Grumpy Bear's bathroom, which has everything you would expect except for a toilet.

Monochrome to Color: The Care Bears once found themselves in a place called Drab City, a dull, gray place where something is draining the life (and color) out of the citizens, leaving them uncaring and apathetic. As the Care Bears spend more time, there, they begin to be affected by it as well, until they finally find the cause, some kind of strange meteor. Once they get rid of it, the color instantly returns along with all the life and feelings. | |

Wasn't That Fun?: In one segment from the "Giving Festival" movie, Oopsy and Wingnut help Trueheart get over her fear of rollercoasters. Part of their method involves riding the ferris wheel first, but they accidentally set the wheel to super fast, sending the wheel spinning at at a terrifying pace. Once they get it stopped, Trueheart seems to be in shock, until she says, "That. Was. AWESOME!" Later, after Trueheart gets over her fear of the Funderbolt, she completely embodies this trope, insisting on continuing to ride after the others have been tired out from riding twenty times. | |

Merchandise-Driven: The first two films introduced new or revamped characters in conjunction with their toy line debuts: the Cousins in the first, and the whole gang's baby selves in the second. There are plush toys for bears from Adventures in Care-a-Lot that had maybe two lines on the show at most, if they even got to speak at all. Inverted with Tenderheart Bear in the Adventures in Care-a-Lot era. You'll be hard pressed to find plush forms of the character. They didn't even make a beanie plush of Tenderheart, and they have beanie plushes of the other Care Bears! | |

For the Evulz: Pretty much the only reason almost any villain does anything. Except for Adventures in Care-a-Lot's Grizzle, who simply hates the Care Bears and wishes to take over, or at least be rid of, Care-a-Lot. Another exception is the Wizard of Wonderland from the third movie Care Bears Adventure In Wonderland. His motive is political power (he wants to become the new king of Wonderland). Beastly in the new Welcome to Care-a-Lot series isn't really evil and only makes mischief that he considers to be fun. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Grumpy's fate during the '00s revival. He pretty much VANISHED from all merchandising from the show (despite being the most iconic of the group) in favor of Bedtime Bear, another blue-colored Care Bearnote He was actually spun into a clothing line, but it did not do well due to lack of publicity, and the fact that the clothing line had a theme that did not go down well with many folks. Eventually, the decision was reversed in Adventures in Care-a-Lot. Many characters got this treatment in the Nelvana series. Understandably, one of the base breakers in Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot is the demotion of Tenderheart Bear, the defacto leader of the Care Bears, to an extra, while Cheer Bear was promoted to leader in the series instead. Another related base breaker is the demotion of Good Luck Bear to background character, which led some fans to hate Oopsy Bear because they believed the latter to be the reason the former got demoted. The 2019 revival (Care Bears: Unlock the Magic) has a compromise; Cheer is literally promoted to leader by Tenderheart, while he, alongside Bedtime and Wish Bear, work as Caring Control. Furthermore, Oopsy Bear is obviously not here and is replaced by Good Luck Bear, who is a main character. The Care Bear Cousins got this big time in the '00s revival, where they would only be seen in supplemental material such as books (most notably the book "Giving Thanks"◊), some plush toys, and hardly got mentioned on the official website. note The Cousins were acknowledged on the Japanese website unlike other countries. They also were absent from Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot note The Forest of Feelings was in the show. But the Cousins didn't make an appearance until the sequel series. and the two CGI films. They finally made a proper return with a new Care Bears series, Care Bears & Cousins, in late 2015 on Netflix. However they didn't return for Unlock The Magic. | |

That Makes Me Feel Angry | |
| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_bfc2ec8a | comment |
That Makes Me Feel Angry: Somewhat justified because the Care Bears are all about getting people to "share their feelings." It's heavily Flanderized in Adventures In Care-A-Lot, though, where the Bears (particularly Share) constantly inform each other just what emotion they're feeling at the time. The "Nothing's Going Right" song is probably the ultimate example of this. In Welcome to Care-a-Lot, the Care Bears don't even bother to hide when they're annoyed with one another. In one particular episode, Share Bear messed up a special drink, causing the other bears' fur to change colours and patterns. the resident Diva, Harmony Bear, instantly throws "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" at her. Wonderheart, within the same series, is brutally honest with her feelings. this is actually a very useful aesop for young children. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The Care Bear Cousins vanished from the main Care Bears franchise starting in the early 90s. While the Cousins do show up rarely in the '00s revival note such as their appearance in the book "Giving Thanks"., they weren't as prominent as they were in the 80s. They didn't even get mentioned or acknowledged in the official Care Bears website. They served as background characters in various books during the '00s revival. Robot Chicken actually created a sketch based on the Cousins' notable absence from the franchise. Also, Professor Coldheart and Frostbite up and vanished after the 80s series moved production from DiC to Nelvana; DiC created them, so they couldn't be used (and they weren't brought back when DiC regained the rights later on). | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Adventures In Care-A-Lot manages to be this, even compared to the older cartoons. Welcome to Care-a-Lot takes it up to eleven. In fact, the entire line from the 2000s onward is generally this. Any villains still around are generally either of the bumbling type or truly Not Evil, Just Misunderstood. Also, some of the 1980s books tend to be rather light and soft compared to some of went on in the TV series and generally feature the bears simply speaking honestly and helpfully to help human kids with real-life problems. | |

Adaptational Wimp: In the books, the Care Bears can fly and teleport under their own power. When adapted to animation, they used Cloud Cars and Rainbow Rollers to get around. | |

| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The designs for the Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins look notably different in their book appearances (Pre-DIC and Nelvana). Their eyes were much smaller and mouths were drawn differently. Their appearances in the 1983 and 1984 TV Specials alongside the DiC series were all based on their original designs seen in greeting cards and books. | |

But Now I Must Go | |

But Now I Must Go: In the 1980s Care Bears book The Trouble with Timothy, Friend Bear explains herself this way to Timothy. "I'm your friend, your snuggly, furry friend. In fact, that's my name, Friend Bear, and I come from the land of Care-a-lot. I'll be around as long as you need me, but when you don't need me so much, I'll be on my way." | |

Evil Is Hammy | |
| Care Bears (Franchise) / int_fdf22cfd | comment |
Evil Is Hammy: Most of the villains. Probably the most notable example is the Vizier from the Nutcracker special, who is fond of SHOUTING OUT EVERY LINE! Which are then commonly followed up with a "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" If you don't think the Evil Spirit counts, perhaps you need a LESSON on what Hammy is. A LESSON you really need. A LESSON FOR YOU!!! No Heart chomps on practically every scene he's in, bellowing his lines with hammy fury. Particularly, "BEASTLYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!" | |
