Histori
Development
The Care Bears was originally created in 1981 by The Characters From Cleveland (TCFC), a licensed division of American Greetings. Jack Chojnacki, co-president of TCFC, introduced the first Care Bear, to six entrepreneurs - three from America's Greeting Cards, and three from Kenner toys - in February 1981. For employees' reaction to toys, Chojnacki recalled in early 1985: "That has a high aaaaaah factor. "
Muriel Fahrion, the artist who helped create the look of Strawberry Shortcake, is also one of the first franchise artists concept. Working with TCFC Creative VP Ralph Shaffer, Muriel designed the first six bears, creating a top-selling greeting card theme for their stomach graphics. Susan Trentel, sister and puppet designer Muriel from Strawberry Shortcake, designed Luxury Care Bears. After leaving the stage of illustrator children's book concept Elena Kucharik became the main artist for Care Bears creating hundreds of colorful illustrations for cards, books and a myriad of licensed products. The creative team of TCFC artists and writers works to create many characters in the lineup, which is a joint development by Their People from Cleveland and MAD (Marketing and Design Services of the General Mills toy group).
As they had done with Strawberry Shortcake, once called "Project I," the American Greeting Cards called Bear Care Development "Project II" as they attempted to create a secret character program until ads were ready. At the beginning of the franchise, Care Bears is already assigned as the title of his work.
1982 launch
On September 24, 1982, the Care Bears franchise was launched in New York City before members of the Society of Security Analysts in the region. Attending the event were American Greetings President, Morry Weiss, and two employees of their Character-Character from Cleveland: Jack Chojnacki and senior vice president Henry Lowenthal. Finally, the characters were announced as toys for production by Parker Brothers and Kenner next spring, as well as pre-licensed characters and media stars. At that time, Greetings America was mentioned as their debut "launch of the greatest character in retail history". With an advertising budget of US $ 5-6 million and a wholesale commitment worth US $ 122.5 million, American Greetings introduced the character to the general public in February 1983, with an appearance at the New York City Toys Exhibition; 26 licensees are involved at launch. Among them is General Mills, a food company that owns game board maker Parker Brothers. In early 1983, Parker Brothers released six books featuring Care Bears as part of its first publishing division bid. On television, the original Ten Bears starred in their first syndication special, Atkinson Film-Arts' The Care Bears in the Land without Feelings ; Kenner generates and sponsors him.
In December 1983, American Greetings and CPG Products lost a lawsuit against Easter Limited, an importer of a line known as "Bear Message". According to New York City judge Leonard B. Sand, the toys did not have the "heart-shaped" sign label "used to identify the Bear Bears.
In 1984, AGC introduced a spin-off line, Care Bear Cousins; other syndicated specials, The Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine , came out in the same year. A toys based miniseries is distributed by Lexington Broadcast Services Company. A year later, Bears and Cousins ​​starred in their first movie, The Care Bears Movie , produced by Nelvana Limited and released by The Samuel Goldwyn Company. It became the most successful animated film created outside the Disney market at the time of its release. Later that fall, DIC Entertainment released an 11-episode television series in syndication.
In 1986, Nelvana returned to the franchise with the second film, Care Bears Movie II: The New Generation. Released by Columbia Pictures, the film features a new villain, Dark Heart, and introduces more about Care. Bears and Care Bears Cousins: Harmony Bear, True Heart Bear, and Noble Heart Horse.

2002 relaunch
In 1999, the rights to the Care Bears franchise were purchased by Jay Foreman, president of Play Along Toys based in Fort Lauderdale, with less than $ 1 million; He also plans to acquire fellow American property, Strawberry Shortcake. Three years later, Kenton Avery Frederick American Greetings launched the Care Bear brand as part of the Bears' 20th anniversary celebration with a series of toys and feature films. The artwork and design of bears were changed to be relaunched. Also, the color of the Bear Champ changes from tan to true blue, with its stomach symbol transformed to a winning cup with a star, and the Bear Bear's stomach symbol is changed from a milkshake with two straws into two crossed lollipops. The change in the Share Bear symbol comes from Play Along Toys suggestions about changes on the grounds that sharing milkshakes can spread germs. In addition, many other minor changes are made to the design, mostly involving lightening the bear's color and minor re-design to the stomach symbol.
In the midst of this awakening, Play Along releases new toys based on the newly redesigned Bears, sold in stores like Wal-Mart, Kmart, Toys "R" Us, Target, KB Toys, and Mervyns.

The line consists of fifteen of the thirty-nine bears (as seen in Care Bears: Oopsy Does It!). Five of the bears were chosen to be the focus of the franchise: Oopsy Bear, Cheer Bear, Funshine Bear, Grumpy Bear and Share Bear.

The series aired on CBS 'block KEWLopolis on September 15, 2007.
The Bear Care Franchise is restarted at the 2007 launch. Previous plot devices such as Cloudmobiles, Caring Meters, Cloud Keepers, and even the Care-a-lot castle are not referred to or mentioned in the new series. Instead it is a gathering tree, which the Care Bears now gather to meet or hold a celebration. Also, Bear Treatments, to the first direct-to-DVD release point for the new franchise ( Grizzle-ly Adventures), never visited Care-a-lot people, and new villains named Grizzle (who tried to conquer Care-a-lot and nothing else) was introduced. An article in February 2007 in The Wall Street Journal states that in the new version, "they live in a village, centered on a large tree, without a visible castle".
However, the Carer Meter made his return on the Grizzle-y Adventures , and the second straight-to-DVD release of the franchise, Ups and Downs , including passing comments on the Feelings Forest. In addition, the Care-a-lot castle reappears in certain scenes in the new game for V.Smile Baby Infant Development System, Play Day .
On July 23, 2008, American Greetings announced that Care Bears (along with Strawberry Shortcake ) will be sold to Cookie Jar Entertainment in an acquisition that will take place on September 30, 2008. In April 2009, it was announced that Cookie Jar Entertainment has a problem in financing the acquisition and that the French company named MoonScoop has also expressed interest in the franchise. The deadline for the Cookie Jar acquisition is April 30, and MoonScoop's attempt on June 7. In mid-August 2009, MoonScoop sued Salam from America, claiming that it was withdrawing from the proposed $ 95 million deal; AGC and Cookie Jar sued each other in the process as well. At the end of April 2010, the Cleveland company "won a summary appraisal on the MoonScoop SAS contract", as well as the "estoppel promissory claim" in the case; MoonScoop appealed the following month. At the end of November 2012, the US District Court in Cleveland decided to support American Greetings over MoonScoop.
At the end of 2009, American Greetings announced that Care Bears would be re-imagined with the launch of a new series, "Care Power Team". It envisages re-using the Adventures in Care-a-lot design, has a sport of bears "raising a belly badge," and seeing the bear pick up on an emergency. Soon after that, a new movie trio emerged: Care Bears: Share Bear Shines, Care Bears: The Giving Festival and Care Bears: To Rescue >. In the same year, it was announced that the toy mastering rights for Care Bears had changed hands from Play Along Toys to Hasbro, in a deal that also involved Strawberry Shortcake. However, only in mid-2013, the first Bears Care Bear toy appeared. No word yet on what caused the delay.

In July 2014, it was announced that Hasbro had lost the right to make toys to another toy company called Just Play . It is widely thought that the reason for the change is because American Greetings became unhappy with how long Hasbro released a toy from that time earned the right to make toys.
In October 2014, when Hub changed to Discovery Family, it was revealed that the Welcome to Care-A-Lot had been canceled and there would be no further work on the event.

Character and universe
Franchises consist mostly of Care Bears themselves, as well as subsequent additional Care Care Cousins. Both live in the Kingdom of Caring, which consists of Care-a-lot (the home of a proper Care Bears) and Forest of Feelings (home to Care Bear Cousins). In 1989, Carole Ashkinaze of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution referred to them as "the strange, late-twentieth-century descendants of what we commonly know as guardian angels: a fuzzy, friendly, adorable creature whose mission is to guide young children and protect them from bogeymen.Run with a Care Bear like, well, run against the Easter Bunny. "
Those who accompany them are Star and Heart Buddies, who are looking for Bears and Cousins ​​whenever they are on a mission in care; and Birds, usually seen in the Forest of Feeling with Care Bear Cousins ​​and watching them. The less recurring character is The Cloud Keeper, the fat man who cares for Care-a-lot. He only appeared in some early franchise publications and on DiC's TV episodes.
Ten Original Rice Treatments consist of Bedtime Bear, Birthday Bear, Bear Cheer, Friend Bear, Funshine Bear, Good Luck Bear, Grumpy Bear, Love-a-lot Bear, Tenderheart Bear, and Wish Bear. Later, additional bears joined them, as well as the Cousins.
For the new 2007 TV series,
Some elements of the Care Bears franchise pay homage to King Arthur's legend. For example, the name of the main character's residence, Care-a-lot, is a game in the legendary Camelot King Arthur's castle. The Care Bear Family sits around a heart-shaped table, similar to the Round Table used by Arthur and his knights. In addition, the name Sir Lancelot inspired that Love-a-lot Bear.
Throughout the movies and series, various criminals have tried to stop Bear and Cousin in the background on their mission. On the first two specials and the DiC television series, they fought against Professor Coldheart, his Frostbite assistant, and sometimes Frozen Aunt; in Nelvana's version, they are confronted by the No Heart Wizard, his beastly Beastly assistant and his grumpy niece, Shreeky, and small villains such as Dr. Nelvana. Fright and Sour Sam. In the movie, they compete against Nicholas and Evil Spirit in The Bears Movie, Dark Heart at Care Bears Movie II: The New Generation , The Wizard of Wonderland and his assistant Dim & amp ; Stupid in The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland , and Rat King and Evil Vizier at Magic spells
The Care Bears' ultimate weapon is "Care Bear Stare" (a.k.a. "Belly Magic"), where the collected Bears stand together and emit light from their respective abdominal symbols. It combines to form a ray of love and joy that can bring care and joy into the heart of the target. The Care Bear Stare has several different looks. One has a beam from a stomach consisting of several replicated symbol images. Other variations form a rainbow when some Bears and/or Cousins ​​are involved. Yellow rays with red hearts are sometimes seen as well. The Bears: Journey-a-lot and The Bears' Big Wish Movie movies do not feature Care Bear gaze, but it's back in Oopsy Doing it! . In the new series, Care Bears Adventures in Care-a-lot, the gaze appears as a beam of light in the bear color that comes from it, but begins just by rubbing the symbol.
In the original animated specials and DiC series, Care Bear Stare is initiated by the phrase "Care Bears... be prepared to stare!" while in the Nelvana series and newer versions are initiated by the phrase "Care Bears Countdown!"
During the film and DiC series, Care Bear Cousins ​​call their weapon "Care Bear Cousin Call". In the DiC series, the call looks the same as Care Bear Stare and is often done at the same time without it being called a call. In the first film, Cousins, except for Swift Heart Rabbit, only make the sound of any animal common to their species because they have no stomach symbol; which was then awarded to them by Care Bears at the end of the film. In the second film, Calls looked like musical scores radiating from their belly symbols. At the beginning of the Nelvana series, Care Bear Cousin Call is no longer in use and Cousins ​​just doing Care Bear Stare.
Although commonly used on criminals, gazes and calls have also been used in humans and in Care Bears themselves. It is sometimes used in the DiC series to cure Bear Treatment and humans who are placed under the influence of magic no matter Professor Coldheart. It also happened once in Adventures in Care-a-lot , when it was used to entertain Grumpy while in the episode "Tell-Tale belly".
In addition to Care Bear Stare, Care Bears can also use their belly symbols to call in other help such as heart-shaped balloons, cloud cars, rainbow bridges and send distress signals.
Caring for meters
Shown clearly in most of the Bear's Care films and episodes made in the 80s, the Parenting Meter is usually located in the dead center of Care-a-lot inside the main Behind Care meeting room. This meter shows how much attention is at Care-a-lot and on Earth. In the 1980s film/cartoon, it was shown as a meter like a clock that was not numbered. In The Care Bears' Big Wish Movie , the meter is shown with raincloud side (less cares) and rainbow side (more cares). Ideally, the Milling Meter should be along the side of the rainbow. Whenever the Bears see the meter fall to the side of the raincloud, they try to prevent it getting worse by going to a "maintenance mission" to try to make more people care or bear itself doing caring acts. If the meter drops close to zero, Care-a-lot will experience disaster, such as storms, buildings and rainbows collapsed (previous films) or Care-a-lot bright colors that gradually turn black and white ( the next films). If the meter reaches all the way to zero (no concerns anywhere), then Care-a-lot will be gone forever.
Initially, no mention was made of Caring Meters at Care Bears: Oopsy Does It! and the first season Adventures in Care-a-lot . With the release of the Grizzle-y Adventures , the first direct-to-DVD franchise release, the Parenting Meter has returned, and the Care Bears have begun interacting with humans once again.
Merchandise
In addition to toys, books, greeting cards and animated media, Care Bears has also been featured in merchandising, some of which include gummy bears, party items, mobile phone covers, interior decoration sets, stationery, school supplies, stickers, clothing, accessories and lots other goods. During the early 2000s, the classic Care Bear toys were available in stores such as Carlton Card, Claire, and Spencer Gifts.
When the franchise was introduced in the 1980s, mistakes were made when producing stuffed animals that caused Bedtime Bear (blue) and Wish Bear (aqua) to swap colors. As soon as the error is found, the two bears back to the appropriate color. Later, children's stories are written explaining why the bears are changing colors.
In his 1986 essay, Brief Strategy, Tom Englehardt referred to the Bears Care doll as a "very special" toy. "So specifically [those] instead of complex individual personalities, they are nothing more than fragments of carefully written personalities," he says. "Together, they must engage in a series of specialized interventions as complex as the medical units in the real world."
Books
Many children's books have been based on, and have been featured, Care Bear and Care Bear Cousins. Some early publications include "Meet the Care Bear Cousins" (based on the first film), "Sweet Dreams for Sally", "The Witch Down the Street", "The Trouble with Timothy", and "A Sister for Sam." All of these titles are published by the toy maker Parker Brothers, who is the license holder of the characters. Over 45 million Care Bears books were sold during the 1980s. In 2006, Scholastic Press has published books based on two of Bears' first CGI films, as well as new toys, while Modern Publishing publishes a small number of baby activities and books that feature bears for toddler markets. International publications and Penny Candy Press are also known to have published several sound books featuring bears in the past.
In Played by Rules , a 1988 book that negotiated the merger of Parker Brothers/General Mills, Ellen Wojahn writes that Parker Care Bears books (together with those based on Strawberry Shortcake's) "are in fact , a little more than the flyers illustrated for the Kenner project - and who knows [in 1984] how long will these people remain popular? "
Comics
Between November 1985 and January 1989, Care Bears appeared in the 20th edition of comic books published by Marvel's Star Comics; the books were drawn by the DC Comics artist, Howard Post. The November 13, 1986 issue featured a crossover with another American Salam property, Madballs.

These include "Introducing Bear Bearing", "Care Bear Care for You", "Adventure in Care-a-many", "Bear Birthday Treatment Party", and "The Care Bears' Christmas" (all from 1983), and 1986 "Friends Make Everything Better" (released as a promotion with Trianimic). They released the soundtrack album for the first two films. Albums based on toys are the best sellers in children's music during their heyday.
