The Care Bears


HBO was showing the animated Care Bears movie today and I happened to catch the second half of it. It brought back so much memories... I used to love The Care Bears to bits, never miss an episode (the cartoon was shown on one of the TV stations back in the 80's).

I am sure some of you must still remember The Care Bears, right? They lived in a magical kingdom called Care-A-Lot. The Care Bears family consists of Bedtime Bear, Birthday Bear, Cheer Bear, Friend Bear, Funshine Bear, Goodluck Bear, Tenderheart Bear, Wish Bear and big Grumpy Bear. Their secret weapon is the Care Bear Stare (wink, wink, wink), whose hypnotic focus melted the sadness out of the saddest child. They were simply awesome. I felt good every time after watching the cartoon. My all time favorite are Friend Bear and Goodluck Bear.

There were lots of Care Bears merchandise that I have collected over the years and wish that I still have them now, hoping that one day I can show to my kids the things that I grew up with... Alright now, enough of reminisce of the old times.
