Care Bears

The Care Bears were created in 1981 by American Greetings to be used on greeting cards painted by artist Elena Kucharik. They were turned into plush teddy bears in 1983 and soon appeared in the Tv special The Care Bears In The Land Without Feelings and again in 1984 The Care Bears Battle The Freeze Machine. They also had their own feature films. The Care Bears Movie (1985), Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation (1986), and The Care Bears Adventure In Wonderland (1987). Each Care Bear is a different color and has a special tummy symbol that represents its personality, name, and responsibility. Adding to the Care Bear family are the Care Bear Cousins. The Care Bears and the Care Bear Cousins often take to their cloud mobiles/rainbow rollers and head down to earth when they are notified by the Caring Meter that someone needs their help. In the Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation the bears and cousins live in the Kingdom Of Caring but after being threatened by Dark Heart, Noble Heart Horse and True Heart Bear move them to Care A Lot and the cousins to The Forest Of Feelings. The Care Bears mission is to help everyone share their feelings with others and learn to care.
