According to Wikipedia, Care Bears was first introduced in 1981 in greeting cards from American Greetings, painted by Elena Kucharik. Then later, the characters were used for toys, and tv. There are around 218 Care Bears characters now.
I'm really fond of Care Bears, and they are still known until now. I tried buying a few Care Bears merchandise. A decade ago, I asked for a Bedtime Bear plush toy. It was almost a thousand bucks at that time. It has a heart shaped button, with a Care Bears print, and tag at the back. I like the color blue that's why I asked for it. I also have with me a Care Bears hanging door/wall decor with a painting of Love a Lot Bear, and Bedtime Bear.
I recently bought a Funko pop vinyl toy of Love a Lot Bear, Care Bears pin and necklace set that I ordered abroad, which is by the way really expensive because its vintage, and a Care Bears movie dvd. In the Care Bears display box set of accessories, only a single box case was damaged.
Care Bears cartoons was also aired locally in my country before. Who doesn't remember these Care Bears characters? Braveheart, Love a Lot, Grumpy (I took a Care Bears character test, and this one came out), the cute baby Care Bears, Hugs and Tugs, Tender Heart bear, Funshine bear, Cheer bear, and Wish Bear. Actually, there are a lot of Care Bears. The ones that I mentioned were the ones that I recall. Care Bears cartoons is running on Netflix Philippines also. It is 3d like, and it seems like the bears version there have slimmed down. Its nice, but I still prefer the classic cartoons. Yeah! I'm an old soul, for I also enjoy listening to classic songs from 50's to 70's.
For me the best cartoons are those during my childhood days. More values, and quality compared to the cartoons that are airing now. Ah! How I love the 80's and the 90's.
