Aww I remember this (the Care bears)

[Sage Ninja]

I was going through youtube and I found this segment on the second movie of the care bears. It is the ending song of the movie and man seeing this again after so many years made me tear up. The song is really brings memories of when I was a little kid and everything was easy and simple.

the song was so perfect and holds up well to even today since its aimed to make you feel nostalgic:

God any one remember this? this was a great cartoon. What they heck happened to quality cartoons like this?

[Jon]

Yes, quite a song. I've noticed both Movies come on TV time and again, even recently. As well as being out on DVD (along with some of the Series).

The '80s had some great stuff alright! :)

This was one of the highlights of the second movie (which served as a prequel to the entire series. I can't tell you how f*cked up that is), it's very reminscent of how an anime movie or series ends actually...

I love the care bears and am glad they are back with new movies.

Man when i was younger my room was decorated in Care Bears. I had the curtins, bedding, lunch box, ect. I still have some of my old Care bears stuff (an original Tinder Heart doll I won at a fair and an original Love-a-lot doll). I even have a new Love-a-lot beanie doll (she's my fave care bear! ) as well as a Cozy Heart Penguin plush.

What's annoying is that Love-a-lot is the least used of all the Care Bears...it's hard to find stuff with her on it. *frowns*

I remember when the movies came out. It was one of the things I'd watch ALL the time with my best friend at the time (geesh I had to have been at least 5 or 6)

Here's a bit of Trivia:

The Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins are not cousins at all. They have the same mother, True Heart Bear. Now I'd like to see them explain THAT.

Love-a-lot and Tender Heart have a sort of romance...despite being siblings... ô,0

Since 2001 they have introduced NEW Bears. Like this year with Oopsy Bear (WTF?! ). IMO the most annoying is America Cares Bear....Her tummy symbol is a red, white, and blue shooting star.

And they also have Amigo Bear (where's the Canada bear now? ). Problem with Amigo Bear is that he has a sun as his symbol so kids can easily confuse him with Funshine Bear. There's also Me Bear (she can't be a care bear... she's too fricken selfish!! All she cares about is herself! That's like totally fracked for a so called Care Bear :ohwell: )

As for that song... I love it... Anybody know the name of it?? I downloaded a bunch of the songs off the Care Bears OST's a while back but I don't remember that one.

I LOVE the original Care Bears, but I honestly despise everything about all the new stuff. I hate how they changed Share Bear, Secret Bear, Champ Bear, and seem to have completely gotten rid of Birthday Bear. And all of the new bears are full of BS & WTF.

The old movies kick ass. I have the soundtracks to both on CD (both of which were transferred from incredibly rare LPs, but the sound is still great). I'd be more than willing to rip them and upload for you guys, because all of the songs are really great. And the one posted in the first post in one of my all-time favorites.

I'll try to do this tonight - right now I've got some shopping to do! 8)

awwe thank you for posting up this. awesome. i just found the entire care bear movie 1 on youtube! search up care bears the movie.

Funshine Bear loves to have fun and play games all the time, but sometimes forgets that there are times in life you must be serious. He is yellow with a smiling sun on his tummy. Originally Funshine was a girl bear until 2002.

O_O

Whoa



Love-a-lot and Tender Heart have a sort of romance...despite being siblings... ô,0



And Funshine's got a thing for Share Bear, even though he used to be a girl, apparently.

The Care Bears are gettin' fre-kay.

[Raph's Girl]

Funshine, the trans-gendered Care Bear. :lol:

Hey! I found the song. It's Forever Young by Carol Parks (she also sings "Our Beginning" solo and with her husband Dean, "Flying My Colours")

I have uploaded the mp3 to sendspace so ya'll can have it now. :D

And if that doesn't work for ya you can also get it and other Care Bears songs here:

Oh and Funshine Bear isn't the only transgendered Care Bear.

It seems they also changed Secret Bear from being a orangish male that rarely speaks to a pink (oh oops Im sorry Raspberry Red...whatever) female that does speak. WTF has Halmark done?! ô,0

Plus now Tenderheart is ORANGE! Does this mean the brown Tenderheart plush I have is worth something?

I just listened to the care-a-lot song.. so nostaglic.. Wow.. can't believe it been years since i seen the movie.

Speaking as someone who hates the stuffing out of these bears, I'm abliged to say....

You know what character I miss? Beastly. I remember an episode where he accidentally made some sort of mutant Gingerbread man that chased him while he was watching a cooking show.

This was one of the highlights of the second movie (which served as a prequel to the entire series. I can't tell you how f*cked up that is), it's very reminscent of how an anime movie or series ends actually...

the one thig I didn't like about this prequal is that is contradicts the backstory and events of the first movie. Where the Care Bears don't know about the Brave Heart and Swift heart Rabbit and the other guys, and that it was their first meeting of the care bears causens. And if you'll notice the care bear causens don't have their magical tummy symbols yet. :ohwell:

I remember that really confusing me when I was a kid when i saw the second movie and the car bears causens got their tummy symbols (along with the rest of them) when they where only babies, and that they knew each other when they where still little. I remeber racking my brain when I was a kid trying to come up with a possible reason as to why the care bears causens had tummy symbols as babies and then some how didn't when they where older, and why they acted like the first movie was their meeting.

other than that good movie that kept with the feel of the first one. And how adorable was Grummpy Bear :D I always loved Grummpy bear. One question though where the heck did baby Hugs and Tugs come from? That always stumped me. Where they Love Alot and Tender Heart's secret love children? LOL :lol:

Hugs, Tugs, Grams Bear, and the other bears being introduced all come from the original homeland where the Care Bears and Care Bear cousins evacuated from in the 2nd movie.

And after watching the 2nd movie True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse are the adopted parents of the Care Bears and Care Bear cousins as the cubs were orphaned (at least that's what the star man said) cuz of some war.

Also in the 2nd movie... the Care Bears and Cousins were seperated for a while so they DIDN'T grow up together. They were babies when the seperation happened so they didn't remember each other. It was for their saftey that True Heart and Noble Heart (who IMO are lovers) seperated the cubs.

And I'd like to point something out about Noble Heart. He looks more like a Bear/horse cross than an actual horse. He's got the head and body of a bear, but the legs, mane, and tail of a horse. His hands only on occasion looked like hooves.

Many of the new bears (like Oopsy Bear and Me Bear) were wished for by Wish Bear using her special wishing star.

Also another thing I've noticed. In all the new Care Bears movies the cousins are nowhere to be seen. They've introduced more and more bears but no cousins.

The cousins were in the first 3 movies (Care Bears: The Movie, Next Generation, and Adventures in Wonderland*where Swift Heart is announced as the niece of the White Rabbit*) but have not appeared in Journey to Joke-a-lot or Big Wish Movie (where Me, Messy, and Too Loud are introduced).

I don't know much about the upcoming theatrical film, Oopsy Does it, if the cousins are in it...but I doubt it. A new villian is introduced tho...his name is Grizzle. But it'll be in theatres in August to commemorate the 25th annaversary of the Care Bears.
