Info: The Care Bears are a set of characters created by American Greetings in 1981 for use on greeting cards. The original artwork for the cards was painted by artist Elena Kucharik. In 1983, Kenner took the characters and made the first in a line of very succesful teddy bears based of the Care Bears. Over 40 million units were sold between 1983 and 1987. Each Care Bear comes in a different color and with a specialized insignia on its belly: for example, "Bedtime Bear" is pastel blue and sports a sleepy-looking anthropromorphised crescent moon, and "Cheer Bear" is pink with a rainbow insignia. A spin-off collection toys, the Care Bear Cousins, feature stuffed monkeys, lions, and other such animals in the same style as the teddy bears. The Care Bears television series ran from 1985 to 1988; three animated feature film spinoffs, The Care Bears Movie (1985), The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation (1986), and The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland (1987) followed.

Care Bears lyrics

TV Theme lyrics:

Care Bears countdown 4-3-2-1!
Who's that coming, from somewhere up in the sky?
Moving fast and bright as a firefly!
Just when you think that trouble's gonna pounce
Who's gonna be there when it really counts?
Do that Care Bears countdown,
And send a wish out through the air
(And send a wish out through the air!)
Just do that Care Bears countdown!
Just when you need 'em they'll be there
(Just when you need 'em they'll be there!)
Dont be afraid when clouds are brewing hard,
If you can dream just send a wish out through the dark,
And do the Care Bears countdown 5-4-3-2-1!
