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*

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

**Jester** · 04-13-2007, 03:04 PM

I guess the question is: Is it CGI?

*Spike Spiegel* · 04-13-2007, 03:10 PM

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.

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.

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...

**Jester** · 04-13-2007, 03:31 PM

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

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

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

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.
