The last Care Bears-related production to star Len Carlson. Carlson previously voiced Professor Coldheart on DIC Entertainment's version of The Care Bears (1985).
The first of the Bears' feature movies to be computer-animated.
Some of the Care Bears have designs changes; for example, Champ Bear's fur color has been changed from tan-yellow to deep blue, and Share Bear's tummy symbol has changed from a milkshake to a pair of lollipops. These changes remain for all future Care Bears productions.
Funshine Bear, who was female in all 1980s Care Bears productions, is changed to male in this film. He remains male in all future productions. Because of this, several fans believe Funshine to be transgender.
Three of the Care Bears, those being Champ Bear, Good Luck Bear, and Laugh-a-Lot Bear, are voiced by actresses who had previously played Sailor Guardians in Sailor Moon (1995) (Linda Ballantyne, who voices Sailor Moon, Susan Roman, who voices Sailor Jupiter, and Katie Griffin, who voices Sailor Mars).
