AG Properties, the entertainment and licensing arm of American Greetings, and kids media firm DIC Entertainment, have signed a deal to launch educational programming on CBS's Saturday morning block.

The US network's Saturday morning line-up will showcase an all-new animated Care Bears series, as well as new animated series Sushi Pack and successful girls animation Strawberry Shortcake.

Both Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake will target children aged between four and eight, while Sushi Pack will skew higher to children aged 6–11. All three series are scheduled to launch on CBS in September.

"We bringing the new look of Care Bears to another generation of kids, as well as introducing the brand new Sushi Pack and showcasing our timeless Strawberry Shortcake through this new programming,” said Jeffrey Conrad, senior VP of creative for AG Properties.

"The initial feedback to the new, updated look of Care Bears has been overwhelmingly positive, and Sushi Pack has the potential to be a breakthrough property for us, with its unique style, adventure and sense of humour."

Jeffrey Edell, president at DIC, said the new series of Strawberry Shortcake will complement DIC's existing programming line-up this fall on CBS, "and offer our viewers a broader range of programming options from preschool to tween.”

New comedy/action animation Sushi Pack, coproduced by AG and DIC, follows five crime-fighting pieces of sushi that protect Wharf City from over-the-top diabolical villains. The series is created by Tom Ruegger and Nicholas Hollander, the writers/producers behind Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures and Pinky & the Brain.

Raph's Girl note: Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake! Now where's Rainbow Bright darnit?! It's 1983 all over again! Man I hope the cousins are in the new Care Bears series! *hugs her Love-a-lot, Tenderheart, and Cozy Heart Penguin plushies* :D

I wish I could see the character desighns. My girlfriend's gonna love this...

The carebears might bomb.. I love the 80's carebears and the 2 movies. I don't want them to ruin our childhood.

I guess the question is: Is it CGI?

Oh will you move on already...not every remake has "raped" anything.

If it is CGI, chances are it'll be a steaming pile of bantha fodder that only caters to the little kids. Maybe it could still have decent story and whatnot, but most CGI remakes of stuff that I have seen have sucked. Terribly.

U sure u wanna see the character designs??? I warn you it's not a pretty sight. This is from the upcoming theatrical film, Oopsy Does It (oopsy is the green bear), that comes out in August. Im still wondering WTF Funshine is wearing a fricken baseball cap.

Other changes: The symbols are now called Belly Badges, the lead villian is an eeeeevil bear named Grizzly (gee how original). Amigo Bear...a bi-lingual care bear....yea...

And yes it's CGI....

So...like the pic I posted...:P thanks. ;)

I was in the process of posting when u posted first. I was just multi-tasking and looking for more info on the new care bears stuff before I posted entirely *shrugs*....

Well damn that's lame if it was animation like it looks like in the image you posted I may actully have liked it.
I think I'd rather see some people holding up carebear dolls and talking off screen than have cgi carebears lol:lol:

Ya know...looking at those pics closer I have noticed something.... they have fingers and toes!!! WTF?!

What's the big deal about the animation? There's nothing wrong there...nothing, and usually, I can detect unsophisticated "inferior" animation from the instant it appears.

This? Nothing, "He-Man 2002" nothing.

Fingers? BLASPHEMY! TOES? UNFORGIVABLE! Nerds overeacting over the f*cking Care Bears? PRICELESS.

everything old is new again...cept with some slightly altered designs and i'm sure every ethincal background under the sun will be used now to just to fit in with the current trend of kids shows...:roll:
Zarius over reacting over opinions even more PRICELESS!
Quite frankly I used to love carebears as a kid I hope tuns of kids like this new show that would be great.

For Care Bear fans, this is their TMNT. I say support it for once, not everything is going to be bad. I have a three year old son and I'm sure as heck exposing him to anything Care Bears, old and new

I doubt you even know the context of what I'm remotley talking about...

You're being dolts over this, really.

Btw I think most people had a problem with he-man 2002 because well for one most of them where still young when it came out and 2 they probably went omfgz!!! This isn't my he-man unga bunga!
Me being a dolt really? I had like every friggin care bear, carebear action figure the damn cloud car and care bear cousin to come out as a kid.
Ugh the context of the joke you're trying to make referring to those tv commercials from like early 2000? or carebears?
And me I could give 2 skeletors less if they have tenticles for feet I was making a lighthearted joke about the current state of childrens programing.

I actually like the way it looks. Then again I'm not the type that has to feel everything from the 80s is highly superior. I mean this IS going to be a kid's show and people are freaking out that it may be aimed at kids. Of course it's going to be. That's the point.

Who's complaining about it being for kids? I'd hope it was good lord I'd never want to see an adult carebears show!:lol:

Kinda like FF huh, try applying your own words to your logic sometimes. It makes you look like less of a hypocrite. And before you go off and tell me with Care Bears it's different I don't even want to hear it.

Exactly what does this have to do with your pathetic, judgemental rants against critics of FF? Nothing, except you've suddenly developed a grudge against me and like to flex it at any convieniant oppertunity

Funny, I apply the same logic to the s*ite you post. I don't hear it...or, since this is you know, the internet, I don't READ it, especially when it's trying to throw a tantrum in my direction for no reason.

And for the record, regardless of whenever you don't want to "listen" (read), it IS completly different than FF. FF is the SIXTH season of what was once a very succesful and very different TMNT series that lasted five years, Care Bears is preparing to take it's first steps towards a new audience and a new acceptence.

I never said their animation shouldn't be bashed, I've said myself that the animation sucks.

To each their own, I was just pointing something out. I'm done then, I'm not trying to pick on you or anything. But if that's how you fell then I'll leave you be.

A Few posts up above.

I loved the Care Bears as a kid, but seriously, the new Care Bears are crap. There's all these new ultra-PC bears with lameass names like Do-Your-Best Bear and Hug-a-lot Bear. And they seem to have totally erased Birthday Bear. And they turned Champ Bear bright blue, Secret Bear PINK, and changed Share Bear's tummy symbol.

I'll stick with the classic Care Bears, thankyou.

Um...correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the Care Bears ALWAYS been ultra PC?

Indeed they have, heck by the time the series ended, they had sunk to real pre-school levels

Oh yeah, some of the earlier seasons had some relevant issues, but you know what happens when the darker content gets noticed (all of the best stuff is in the movies and the Marvel comics)

I would not describe the old school Care Bears as PC. Ocassionally ultra-sugary, but not PC. And in the tradition of cutesy 80s cartoons, the Care Bears movies were actually rather dark (I also recall the Rainbow Brite and My Little Ponies movies being quite dark). There's no way that would happen now.

stop coming in and beign a moron.. look dude, i grew up watching shows like this.. it hurts us the people that grew up watching these kind of shows seeing them being raped to a point where we forget about it and brag about how awesome that show was long ago.

Says the cheif native of the Typo Kingdom

Well WHOOP-DE-FLIPPING-DRAMA LAMA DOO, pass me tons of violins. Nobody cares, it's called PROGRESS little boy, nothing stays the same for you or anybody. If it's hurting the s*it out of you, get laid, go outside, do something other than mope, because people like you damage the industry more than sustain it.

We'll I'll be damned!:lol:
Ok and guys seriously what would the care bears think of you all fighting like this! for shaaaaaamee! :P

ya by people like me who don't watch it.. Lol i grew out of it anwyays, still Zarius, watch it if you want.. I don't need to mope, I am just disapointed is all.

This thread is sad on all kinds of levels. I'm not even going to touch it except to calm the hell down. Like Zarius said, it's progression. I can't believe I'm agreeing with him, but he's right. Maybe you should give it a shot before jumping on the "REMAKES ARE TEH SUX0RZ" bandwagon.

The only thing I like about Care Bears is Loyal Heart Dog, from the Care Bear Cousins. I have several stuffed animals of him. The rest I can take or leave.

Ugh........................ Not until I hear that's it's good.

That's it, I've lost all faith in humanity.

well damn took you long enough doom!:lol:

lol finally someone else sees the horror of this new carebear.

I dunna Z, I can see where the argument with >> sticks. here, let's play with the words a little:

For TMNT fans, this is their [insert other franchise here]. I say support it for once, not everything is going to be bad. I have a three year old son and I'm sure as heck exposing him to anything TMNT, old and new.

See, >> is out "new" Care Bears. so it's a little different. Just suck it up and enjoy the fact that the TMNT are still on the air.

I wasn't commenting on the show, chief.

You should enjoy the fact that TMNT is still on the air, because it should've ended along with the old cartoon years ago.

Wait, wha? Come again? Not a fan of the modern TMNT "era."
