A bear market: Care Bears back

April 25, 2003

 

Continuing its strategy of reviving its popular '80s-era properties, American Greetings has inked a deal with Artisan's Family Home Entertainment to return the cuddly, pastel-hued Care Bears to TV screens via a new CGI animated direct-to-video feature in fourth-quarter 2004. The Artisan unit has acquired distribution rights to the more than 60 episodes from the hit 1980s Care Bears TV series from Nelvana, which will also animate the new feature for FHE. The pact comes a year after Cleveland-based American Greetings partnered with DIC Entertainment to produce DTV movies based on another '80s AG icon, Strawberry Shortcake. Both revivals are supported by pushes in licensed products. (Marla Matzer Rose)

They should make an R-rated Care Bears. They look the same, but now they cuss, fuck and do drugs.

My daughter likes it so we already have Care Bears blankets, DVDs, etc.

 

I don't mind since it is better than Barney etc. I remember watching Care Bears back in the day so it is cool to see my daughter into it.

I always wondered how closely related the Care Bears, were to the Gummi Bears, BOUCNING HERE AND THERE AND EVERY WHERE!

HOLY FUCK THAT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS

I don't know what that is, but I had something like Conker's BFD in mind.

 

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. These cartoon revivals are partly done for nostalgic purposes geared towards the generation that grew up with them, right? Well the viewers have grown up, the show should as well.

 

For instance, if the new He-Man began to doubt his sexuality, you'd be more interested wouldn't you? If a Donatello impregnated April O'Neil, and April begins to contemplate an abortion, that'd be compelling shit, would it not?

Heh.....okay, just got a very, very distrubing visual in Donny trying to enter April...damn you Art :( I dig the Care Bears for some stupid reason...no matter how lame they are I'm compelled to watch.

Personally, I think it'd be Mikey impregnating April.

 

It wouldn't be Raph, on account of his homosexual crush on Casey Jones.
