New Care Bears reboot

*Raph's Girl* · 02-13-2012, 06:07 PM

So Care Bears is getting ANOTHER reboot. This time for the 30th anniversary next year. There'll be a new toon (with hopefully a WAY better villain than Grizzle... ugh...he was annoying. I'd rather have a good classic villain like NoHeart) that'll introduce at least one new character.

Also the clothing line and such will have stuff aimed at original series fans along with teens, tweens, and kids. The new toon might air on the hub network as well.

The only Care Bears that I liked was the originals. Just like MLP and Rainbow Brite, and the last two reboots of her have failed fantastically. Especially the last one where they tried to make her and two other characters they focused on, Tickled Pink and Moonglow, tweens. Looked like paint-balled Bratz dolls.

I think Ninja Turtles is the only exception where I like 4Kids instead of the original cartoon.

^ this i agree with

Original by far

This is pretty cool, lol. Although I always thought the Care Bear cousins were way cooler than the actual bears.

Me too. Braveheart Lion is my favorite.

Regarding Care Bears. I wholy agree. I was not pleased at all with the newest toon. Grizzle is not intimidating like NoHeart was. And ugh.. Don't even get me started on Oopsy Bear and the fact that there's NO explination at all as to why Tender Heart was reduced to being a background character and replaced as leader!

But the 30th anniversarty stuff seems to be aimed towards original fans so WOOT!

As for MLP. Im a Brony (or rather Pegasister) and absolutly LOVE LOOOVE the new show!! I was never a fan of the original stuff.

I bought a Professor Coldheart figure recently.

Didn't Care Bears already get a reboot?

Dude, you have to be pig-ignorant not to like the current MLP. It's LEAUGES beyond the dated original, and has made far more of a cultural impact than the original ever could. MLP succeeds where 4Kids TMNT didnt during it's seven years in just THREE.

Yes, but the show wasnt a big success and seemed to go under everyone's radar. This show will probably be a MLP: FIM clone.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-14-2012, 07:39 AM

I haven't seen the new MLP, so I can't say whether I dislike it or not. I did like the original MLP though, and the same goes for Care Bears. Let's hope this other reboot will be better.

Yeah, they need a new villain. And I think you mean Dark Heart from the movie, don't you? Now, he was scary as all hell.

And I also like the Care Bear Cousins. I liked Brave Heart Lion the best as well as Gentle Heart Lamb and the Penguin (I can't remember the name). Oh, and Bright Heart Raccoon and Swift Heart Rabbit. Yeah, the cousins were cool.

Just go on youtube and you'll find eps or even fan made music vids or stuff about Bronies (male fans, altho female fans are Pegasisters that term hasn't caught on like Bronies has). There's TONS out there on My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. The show has everything from cameos of pony versions of the cast of the Big Labowski to pony Doctor Who being a mostly background character (he even looks like David Tennant). There was even an ep about a Batman-esque pony that had the Batman TAS theme in scenes! *lol*

As for the Care Bear cousins. Man... Im pissed that altho there's been plushies they haven't appeared AT ALL in any of the new stuff. The new made for DVD films and animated series have been out since like 2002 and not ONCE did the cousins appear!

No. We get fricken Grizzle...and new bears like Oopsy and Amigo! Plus Tender Heart being reduced to being a background character while Cheer Bear is suddenly the leader without any explination at all! And Grumpy isn't really well grumpy! He's now the inventor of the group (some of his inventions were stolen by Grizzle...a stupid cyborg bear that's supposed to be the villain but he never does anything except be the annoying neighbor to Care a Lot. He tries to be bad but fails miserably). Oh and for the longest time they stopped using the caring meter to help humans. It wasn't till 2008 that they started helping humans again (took 6 fricken years of a reboot for them to go back to earth). And even then the Caring meter was renamed Care Bear Transporter...

Hopefully this 2nd reboot (or is it the 3rd?) will fix all the crap that the 2002 - 2008 reboot did. *sighs* Especially since the article says they'll be having stuff aimed towards fans of the original show.

I thought female "Bronies" was "Fillies"

The only term I've heard for female Bronies is Pegasisters. Heck even Urban dictionary has Pegasister as the term used for female fans.

see brony

*shrugs* I just don't care for the new MLP. It really isn't something that interests me. Sorry.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-16-2012, 09:57 AM

They changed the name of the Caring Meter? Now, that's just wrong on all levels. The whole point of the Care Bears is for them to help people start caring. When the Caring Meter goes down, they have to help humans learn to start caring. I always thought it was a good message for a show and loved it. Yeah, I hope the reboot does better with this. Tob bad if it's on the Hub, I won't be able to watch it.

**Jester** · 02-16-2012, 10:00 AM

I think the Caring Meter was completely excised from the previous "reboot," so to even have it back is good in my eyes.

It was removed till a 2008 "film" that was really a couple eps that didn't air on tv. It was renamed Care Bear Transporter.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-17-2012, 09:40 AM

And that is lame on all counts.
