The Care Bears

I loooveed this series and still do. I think beastly is single handedly my favorite villain side kick of all time. The voice actor did such an awesome job and I just love his dynamic in the show. Honestly they created this whole awesome universe and I'm really thinking about doing a fan fic comic of it (idk how to animate). Side not but I also loved the movies from this generation. I watch the Alice in wonder land often.

Give The Care Bears A chance...

This TV Series is a great way for children to learn the way to be good and nice. With all your favorite Characters, such as Tenderheart Bear, they'll love watching it! Teaching good things, plus funny adventures, this show is a perfect pass-time for children of any age.

9.7/10!

The Care Bears seem to mean different things to different people, some hate them with a passion that is almost holy while others, like myself can look back at them and see the warm fuzzy memories of childhood. There are doubtlessly other variations between those two extremes, those just happen to be the two examples I've run across.

I have always loved the Care Bears, like so many of the cartoons of the eighties, the combined good animation (well at least good for the day), that has held up relatively well over the years, with interesting storylines that don't feature the violence and sheer stupidity that so many 'kids shows' do today. Even when the 'new care bears' was released (and it wasn't quite as good) Care Bears continued to actually teach kids something about life through it's cute little half-hour episodes...can you really say that about Barney and Friends or Teletubbies? Please.

Some of the episodes are still out on video, do yourself a favour and pick one up...a walk down memory lane never really hurt anyone.

I didn't know "The Care Bears" only lasted three seasons. I used to watch it if it was on though I much preferred the Gummy Bears. "The Care Bears" could fix problems by joining together and casting rainbows from the hearts on their bellies. Perhaps that was just too sugary sweet for most folks (especially if you were used to the Looney Tunes). It wasn't bad to me, but I guess no one cared for the Care Bears.

I think the reason why I loved The Care Bears so much, was because it was part of my childhood, and I have a thing for nostalgia. I loved this show as a kid, and at 18 when I revisited it I was really surprised at how good it still was. It is pretty much childhood innocence personified.

The animation is clean and colourful, the music is really good with a simple and memorable theme tune and the story lines were gripping, exciting and surprisingly intelligent. Even the writing wasn't childish. And I love how unique the characters are, I love how all the Care Bears have interesting and endearing personalities and unique character traits. I love all of them so much I cannot decide which one is my favourite.

Out of the reoccurring villains, my personal favourite was Professor Coldheart, he was deliciously evil and frosty yet absolutely hilarious and crazy. The character was superbly voiced by Len Carlson, actually one of the most interesting voices on the show, it is a shame though he isn't credited on this site he deserves it. In fact though, the voice acting was very well done. Overall a great childhood favourite, not bland or anything like it, it is colourful and simple the way I like it. 10/10 Bethany Cox
