Absolutely jazzed to be here! I had lots of fun infodumping about the cartoon bears. Thanks for having me! I hope we can collab again! :> 💕
💚💜
Absolutely!!! This was so so much fun!! 👏👏💞🤩
I watch both you and Athena, this is a crossover I never knew I needed….
Rainbott! What is this, a crossover episode?
YO! Hi Rainboot 👋
I WAS SO CAUGHT OFF GUARD SEEING YOU ON THERE GOLLY!
Is it just me or is “There’s only one of me so I don’t need a name!” a line that goes way too hard to be in Care Bears
Big "I Am." Elder One vibes, yeah
That's.. kinda terrifying.
Could be a Doctor Who quote out of context
BDE
A line that could be in Care bears or Dark souls
Kinda wanna see Care Bears given the same tone that Kirby has, the cutest bears fighting the scariest, most Eldridge villains that symbolise depression or something idk
Wait that sounds so good I need that now
Hundred percent
And make a new Care Bears reboot rated TV PG.
And they all get defeated by The power of loves and hugs
Drawing it now.
Honestly, the fact that Care Bears stopped interacting with human children in the newest incarnations took away a lot of its charm.
Similar to sesame street
I think the main problem is they saw mlp do the same thing in the g4 show, the main problem is helping other people is so baked into care bears, they either have to replace it with other being whether it be other bears who aren't one of the care bears or other, but when they are doing save the world plots without interacting with outsiders the show gets confused because we don't know what they're saving and villains like the evil cyborg care bears seem superfluous, being an obstacle and villain, not because they are a needed part of the story, but existing because there is nothing for them to do otherwise
Hmmmmmm Flaky
Care Bears villain back then: An evil, greedy wizard.
Care Bears villains now: Furries.
That is simply how the 80s do
Don't forget the literal demons, the other Snow Miser knock-offs(there's several), the one with a Napoleon Complex, the musician who pulls a Businessman from The Little Prince, the bureaucrats, and all the villains from adaptions of classic stories.
What about the small bear in a robot suit
@@edenanimates1465oh yeah, that one's my fav
I feel like this could also apply to the Kirby series, to an extent. It shares some similarities with the cute protagonists and creepy antagonists. The anime would especially be fun to see Athena cover.
Fun fact in the Spanish dubbed they add the suffix “ito” at the name of each of the bears, which makes the word mean that is small but is also use as as an affectionate form of the noun, the care bare are called Cariñositos, this is also a play on words, “Cariño” means affections, the last part “ositos” means little bears, so they basically made the title a single word that if you translate again into English would be affectionate little bears
Aw that's so cute 🥺
Caring little bears I'm gonna cryyy
They did that in the German dub too by adding "chi" at the end of names. The whole group is called "Glücksbärchis" which means Little Bears of Joy^^
That’s not all! “Oso” which is the spanish word for “bear” is also a common suffix in adjectives, so like 70% of the bear’s names are puns in Spanish. This franchise was literally made for that language
It's the same in the Polish dub, where they are called "troskliwe misie" i.e. caring little bears ♥ But our rules for softening words are- Complicated and this one is an expection to the rule kinda deal anyway, so unlike the Spanish and German examples I cannot explain the linguistics of it, sorry 🙏
Franchises like Care Bears, The Smurfs, or MLP will have cute, candy-colored characters who always get along and then the villain will be an eldritch abomination incomprehensible to man
I remember even as a 7-year-old thinking lord tirek was a bit too dark of a character to be in my little pony of all things 😭
@@phantombobayeah, but that’s made him go so hard, lol!
@@phantombobawhat about the guy that endslaved the entire crystal heart kingdom giving them irreversible trauma permanently
*enslaved
KING SOMBRA THAT GUY
Screaming, crying, throwing up at the death of Uncle Skidlybop. Always so devastating to get introduced to your new favourite character only for them to get killed off.
F
"bedtime bear who just feels like he's been burdened with a horrible curse" the curse called narcolepsy i think. thats the curse i have
It’s pretty funny how a lot of these shows aimed as younger audiences often have concepts and elements that wouldn’t feel that out-of-place in a Stephen King or Lovecraft story. Like… public parks that open up into bleak apocalyptic wastelands filled with sentient rocks, massive worms that consume the place that is essentially the embodiment of all of humanity’s caring, and seemingly maintained by an old man with omnipotent powers. And that’s not getting into the various eldritch horrors they’ve confronted.
That first special with Joe Biden turning kids into frogs had genuinely creepy animation and character design that I'm surprised "weird animation review" CZcams hasn't found yet.
Throughout the franchise, lots of characters change pronouns. One of the most popular is Funshine Bear. I know this can happen to fictional characters that have been around for while, but I find it interesting.
Yes yes yes! I still have my Funshine Bear from 20 years ago, and it came with a VHS tape for an episode of (one of) the show(s) that I distinctly remember had feminine pronouns for the character, and then the first reboot came out and changed Funshine to pretty solidly male since then. ...And then years and years later I come out as transmasculine myself, still with my trusty Funshine Bear to get me through it all.
same with huckleberry from strawberry shortcake. my trans headcannon fr
It happened with Proudheart Cat to. He was called a Male during the song "Flying My Colours" during A New Generation but has been Female since then. I personally headcanon that he's a male because it just works for me idk.
Birthday Bear was never gendered except in one book (he's male). So far as I know, Swiftheart Rabbit is only identified as female in the Wonderland movie.
There's also a book in which Lotsaheart Elephant is referred to as female, but I count that as an oops. :3
8:46 Asking a boy to hold her books was an old-fashioned way to show interest in dating him. So the boy thinks she's offering to pity-date him because his braces make him so ugly or some nonsense like that.
When people say Gen Z don’t know what VHS tapes are I hit them with “I watched The Care Bears on VHS!”
Yooo same
“YoU dOn’T kNoW wHaT a VhS iS”
Bitch how do you think I watched Cinderella III: A Twist In Time??
I watched the first two seasons of the DiC series on DVD. Checkmate.
As much as I respect the power of the Care Bear Stare, I personally think the Bears would be more successful in their mission if they actively give kids the resources necessary to better deal with their own problems in the future.
Like, what if the bullies didn’t stop hurting Paul? Would they just have to come back every time to save him? They cant do that forever.
My solution? We need more Grumpy Bear adjacents in the group. Care Bears who aren’t all sunshine and rainbows but who still give kids the push they need to succeed.
Where’s “Self-Defense Bear”? Or “Righteous Indignation Bear”? Or “Justified Retaliation Bear”?
Fuck the Stare, where’s a Care Bears Right Hook when you need it???
YEAHH! :D
Or tactics, at least- people are very much against fighting back, but a Trust Bear could be about telling an adult, or Friendshine Bear or whatever could show how to gather friends to collectively stand up to them, because there’s power in numbers, or something (kids media hates justified retaliation, and I could probably come up with some kind of argument about ageism, or control, or something, but I’m too tired)
Braveheart Lion would probably be about standing up to your bullies or something, I don’t know, but these things hate “encouraging violence”- that’s why the kids can’t defend really themselves. Still, even if they can’t physically fight back, verbal defiance, or recording the events and showing an adult, should be shown as viable
@@runeanonymous9760 We, as a society, will never truly progress until more kids media starts extolling the virtues of kicking your bully’s ass.
@@connorhealy3562 they do that in anime sometimes I think
I think they should have a Carebear called unity bear
Theory for the care bears that aren’t bears. What if all of them started off as bears but over time, when they’re introduced to real animals in the human world, they decide to present themselves as their favorite animals. And that’s why horse bear is kinda fucked up, because he’s trying to transform, but can’t quite get the hooves right. Having to go from paws to hooves is a WIIIDE leap. All the other bears stayed relatively in the structural categories, and even the elephants have toes.
"there's only one of me so I don't need a name" is the absolute TOUGHEST line I've ever heard
Not only did she paint her face, she also dyed her hair as well! COMMITMENT!🫡🔵
It’s a wig but after I filmed this I did dye my hair GREEN!!!! (I’ve never done this color before still getting used to it 😅)
@@AthenaPOfficial that’s cool!🟢🙂
That was a pretty convincing wig😂👍
@@AthenaPOfficialGREEN IS MY FAVORITE COLOR 💚
She did such an amazing Tobias Funke cosplay
@@silashurd359742:50 she had me convinced too until this shot
Grumpy is literally my favorite character trope: Grumpy/Stroppy/Stoic yet still clearly cares.
Heck yeah love carebear lore!!🌈😄
Also 40:30 The random guy in the first movie is supposed to be the adult version of Nicholas, the evil kid who the Care Bears wanted to help. It’s implied that he married the little blonde girl who was hanging out with the care Bears, and they open an orphanage together. So I guess he’s telling the kids about his experience with the carebears?
Or him and his wife bonded over their shared love of Care Bears fanfiction to they point where they fed their kids a total lie
@@AthenaPOfficial They gaslight.gatekeep. carebear stare the orphans
Imagine a reboot where the carebears are all giant mechs with gems in their chests to match their tummy symbols.
As a Care Bears fan, seeing two lore videos in one month is the Thanksgiving gift I didn’t know I needed. The timeline explanations at the end were honestly so cool!
Also, consider my two cents for a future lore video: In the Backyardigans, Uniqua always seemed to mention having a mother but no father. Given that the others mentioned their parents in different ways and Uniqua is the only member not based off of an existing animal, I conclude that Uniqua is from an all female species that reproduces asexually! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. :3
Okay if she does a lore on Backyardigans next video should MLP, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Pound Puppies and Smurfs and maybe some qubo shows
I always thought the backyardigans were just human kids and what we see of them is kind of their representation of animal versions of themselves, with them going a bit further by pretending that they are said reps.
I mean, the show mentions humans a couple of times in songs, and there have been multiple sightings of humans in pictures (mainly in season 1) and their world is seemingly the same as our own.
Edit: This would also explain why Uniqua is a made-up creature that is ALSO called Uniqua. She probably made up the creature one day and called it after herself because she didn't know what else to call it.
I thought uniqua was an ant😅
@@kimikimchi8652isn't she a ladybug?
@@SchnortThat's why she's called Uniqua because she's "Unique".
I was always confused why Grumpy was a Care Bear when he's so negative but genuinely like the idea that he's supposed to give tough love! Also my mom used to rent a DVD with the wedding episode and I forgot until you showed it
They may hypnotize people, but you can’t argue with the results
Who could’ve guess the lore greeting card characters would be so deep .
Seeing Care Bears covered so deeply warms my heart, the 80s show was such a big part of my childhood 😭😭
I love that you related Care Bears to My Little Pony. In a way, care badges are similar to the cutie marks.
There’s one question
How do you obtain belly badges
Do you get them after doing a specific thing that relates to your talent or are you just born with them
@@edenanimates1465 _maybe it's Maybelline_
Hey my edible kicked in the moment you were wondering how bedtime bear represents caring but going to bed on time is self care, he represents taking care of yourself which is the most important person to care abt. i almost cried when i realized this but also theres that edible
“Uh oh Joe Biden jump scare😰” killed me
RIP Uncle Skiddlibop. He was a real one 😢
Fun fact abt me: I have a Care Bear blanket that was my Security Blanket™ growing up and I’ve had it for roughly 20 years now. It’s still in decent condition, tho the edges are a bit fucked up bc I had a habit of chewing on the edges AND certain sections have been rubbed to almost holes. I also had a favorite side bc each side had a different texture (one was like the typical smoothness of a blanket whereas the other was more…bumpy? Idk how to describe it)
Edit: every once in a while, my parents will suggest throwing it out bc I’ve obviously outgrown it and don’t use it, and I just give a blank stare and go, “Over. My. Dead. Body.” I don’t plan to pass it down to any kids bc honestly, I’d find it gross to pass down something I chewed on and then was encapsulated in a tote for so many years.
Rainbott is so nice. I don't know why I am so drawn into people who have encyclopedic knowledge of stuff I have never ever seen, heard of or cared about in my life, but it just works, you know?
There was another cartoon by the same company called The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin (1987-89) and me and my siblings absolutely ADORED it. We only had the first season on VHS so we never got to finish it, but now in the age of the internet, last year I pirated it and holy shit? It was really good!! It's also 60 episodes and the pacing, writing, characters, plot, continuity, everything was good and had me captivated the whole show. 10/10 would recommend!
I didn't know Teddy Ruxpin had a cartoon! I'm honestly really glad I found out through this comment tho!
Unrelated Side Note: I had known about the Teddy Ruxpin toy for quite a while in my life despite not being born during the time it came out. However, my love for it spiked quite a bit after a specific game decided to make a character that mixed a teddy ruxpin with a furby, and said character is an absolutely spooky menace and I love her XD
Oh wow. That show takes me back. Dating myself here, but I was lucky enough to have a Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby toy. They had a connecting cable that when connected together, they would talk to each other as you loaded the story tape. Me and my sister would also follow along with the books and fell asleep at night. I don't remember much of the stories any more, but I've always liked their voices.
Oh my god I remember that second movie. Dark heart and the girls relationship did something to me as a child. He’s evil but has a soft spot for her! Awesome video Athena, I really liked your timeline theory.
Time for a game of disappearing bears.
@@huntercoleman460 OMG HA!!! I totally forgot about that!! That was so funny and so stupid! Love it!!
@@polgara6 Dark Heart was the best character in the sequel because he was so over the top.
@@huntercoleman460 oh yeah absolutely! Dramatic villains are always the best part of anything!
@@polgara6 it’s not often your villain is a shapeshifting redhead with shades.
Ok so the first carebears movie is actually so insane tho like that magician kid literally sells his soul to satan lmao oh and the old man narrator is actually the magician kid and he married the little girl when they grew up and they opened an orphanage together because they were both orphans and that’s why they needed care
Rip uncle skiddlybop, forever in our hearts
I’ll never forget him
Who??
14:05 “there is only one of me so I don’t need a name” is a raw fucking line dawg that is a heartbreaking thing to be said so casually.
No Heart is not the only Care Bears villain that shapeshifts. Darkheart from the second movie does this as well. he has three forms, his human form, the many animal forms he takes, and his actual form where he's a sentient cloud of red smoke.
"Let me rub your hands"
PROCEDES TO RUB ARM
Anybody else agree that the carebear countdown is an absolute banger tho? 🔥🔥
For me, the best theme song from the franchise.
The makeup today is gorgeous! Plus the outfit! So whimsical! As a softcore care bears fan this is absolutely invigorating!
Athena please never stop these vids you give me life each week 😭 You are so amazing we love you ❤️
We get it now shhh
Rainbott mentioning Analog Horror Care Bears is something I've been trying to create. Fun video because I LOVE CARE BEARS!!! :D
The closest thing to one i could find was The Smiling Critters VHS, but I'd love to see what you can come up with!
Rest in peace uncle Skiddleiebop you will never be forgotten!
I find the timing for this extra good since Smiling Critters exist now and they have been confirmed to be based off of care bears (and mlp too, but mostly care bears) and they're absolutely great
I know it's a random thing to menrion, but the timing just felt too good
Same
Aren't they characters of a horror game? Lol. I'm out of date on my poppy playtime knowledge
@@SpecialInterestShow They are. A new batch of toys for Chapter 3. Both cute and creepy.
@@shadowjeremy3083 Their animated versions are peak tho 😔👌
As an ‘00s kid, I had no nostalgia from the ‘80s media, but seeing the DVD cover of Oopsy Does It made me remember that not only did it exist but I had seen it as a kid. I also remember a Care Bears movie where they mistakenly thought Funshine Bear was royalty and the kingdom has a designated “rhyme time”???
I think you're thinking of Journey to Joke-a-Lot.
Just two days ago - I repeat, two days ago - had the thought "hm, Care Bears was like, unhinged, I wonder what's the lore"
And I today this appears on my feed.
Theory: The Grandparent Bears and Children Bears are the only survivors from an alternate reality. The stories Gramma tells are stories of universes the Grandparents passed through while the babies were too young to remember before settling in the main canon universe.
I used to watch the show back then. I find the art style of the 80s Care Bears cuter than modern versions. I liked No Heart, Beastly, PSAs, The Star Trek episodes, and that one episode where a Care Bear lost their colors and freaking died! (Before coming back to life by a kid's tears)
wait WHAT?!?
@@thememeqweenThere was this one episode where a kid wanted to go swimming somewhere but is unable to because his mother’s unable to take him there.
He gets caught up in a conflict between No Heart and the Cares and No Heart causes a spell that makes a Care Bear freaking die! They’re drained of their colors and is frozen in place.
So true, Grumpy is indeed the best bear
As corny as this series was, I can proudly say that No Heart was the more interesting, charming, and intimidating wizard than Emperor Belos ever was.
“They COULD be my friends but I don’t care about them so they’re not.” *yeets them aside*
This brought back memories of my childhood. Imagine my child self re-enacting the the carebears movie scenes.
I actually made comic books of my universe based on the two Care Bears movies, the reenactment of the first one I made pretty long ago, it kinda sucked, so I decided to remake it, the reenactment for the 2nd I've never bothered to remake, and it will always suck
14:04 “There’s only one of me so I don’t need a name” HOLY FUCK
Shreiky is like if Caillou's whining became his super power
Friend Bear has a special place in my heart because he is the ONLY one I knew of for like, the longest time because I had a book about him and he's like "I have two smiling daisies on my tummy, one for you, and one for a special friend!" or whatever and I always confused this book with one of my mom's cross stitching books because they were very similar-looking if viewed from any side but one of the covers lol.
Also I keep calling him Friendship Bear. I want a plush of him simply because of that special place he holds in my heart lol.
I desperately love the idea of more expert lore consultants in the future, we love a dedicated research queen 📚 💅
Grumpy Bear was always my favorite bear as a kid too. I felt like he was misunderstood, and your points on him showing tough love are more the reason why he’s the best one. He was honest and blunt and we love that. Another great video that brought back so many memories 😁
Funshine was my favorite bear back in the day. I thought it was hilarious when he was so eager to not be sick when everyone was telling him to take the day off. Like, dude, take the day off.
Ah! Carebears! So happy youre reviewing the 80s/90s portions-theyre real fun and nostalgic. ^w^
So I don't have any proof of this, but I've always wondered if Hasbro got the idea for the symbols (aka cutie marks) in the MLP line from Care Bears, which I believe debuted a year earlier. The very early prototypes of the first six ponies (like in the first commercial) all have Cotton Candy's symbols, which is just white spots. Also the first six ponies are all named after their body colors, not their symbols. The pony with butterflies is called Butterscotch because she's gold, the pony with shamrocks is Minty b/c she's green, etc.
The 80s MLP cartoon is very unique compared to a lot of girls cartoons in that the ponies don't have a mission to help humanity, unlike Care Bears or Rainbow Brite. No, the ponies are just trying to survive as they get constantly attacked by monsters and wizards. Also, even though all the ponies have symbols that represent an aspect of their personality (like the pony with gingerbread symbols loves to bake), the symbols are never directly mentioned in the lore and they don't "do" anything. They aren't magical and are never a plot point.
The baby ponies are born with symbols, so I guess it's like if you had a society where every single person was the Chosen One and had a prophecy about them, but sometimes the prophecy was just "you're really going to like baking."
There's actually 3 shows. I think it's called "Carebears Unlock the Magic"
While I don't remember much of Care Bears from when I was a child, I do remember that I LOVED Grumpy Bear!
Okay Care Bears a new generation is the best Care Bears movie imo. BUT ALSO THE MAKEUP AND HAIR IN THIS ONE IS EPIC AND I LOVE THIS SO MUCH SO EXCITED
Needed more baby care bears moments imo, BUT THAT'S JUST ME
Athena, I have but two things to say:
1. This video is absolutely a work of art, I remember the freaky care bear movies and my family still quotes them at each other to this day
2. Have you ever considered Muppet Babies (1984) lore?? It’s an older one like Care Bears, full of humor and heart, annnnnd it takes the entire canon muppet timeline and sends it through a frickin cheese grater
and I’d love to hear your thoughts :)
Considering it all started in "Muppets take Manhattan" as a result of Miss Piggy imagining if her and Kermit knew eachother when they were little, I'd like to imagine that this whole show was kind of her "what if" thing that she thought of from time to time
It may or may not make sense, but 🤷♀️
@@pineappleprincess9704 that totally makes sense actually! I never thought of that.
Still a muppet babies Athena P video would be a dream come true for me lol
Very interesting. I really love the 80's Care Bears, especially the Nelvana series that were broadcast on Boomerang from Cartoon Network LATAM and the one that I grew up with. In fact, Grumpy Bear is my second favorite cartoon character of my entire life, behind Tom from Tom and Jerry. For me, I consider the second movie more canonical than the first one and Noble Heart Horse and True Heart Bear being the parents of all the Care Bears, and one theory I have is that Granma Bear is True Heart's mom.
I really miss the classic Care Bears, including the villains like No Heart (yes, I know that he's back in Unlock the Magic but is not the same).
Thank you both Athena P, and Rainbott for finally taking the time on doing these videos, it really means a lot to me!💜
I remember the 85’ movie and its sequel vividly from my childhood!!! The OG movies I watched later in my childhood and the OG series!! I loved it as a kid and now I’m just smiling from nostalgia
i remember having the sunshine care bear plushie. It slept next to me in my bed aswell as my (2) horton hears a who plushies and some rainbow baby doll. I also remember watching the care bears nut cracker movie during 1st grade and hating it because i thought it was boring
i’m gonna have to watch that movie again to get a better opinion on it because i may have been a little unfair and salty considering i hated anything that looked weird to me
31:10 so glad someone mentioned Good Luck and Polite's "thing" for one another
I was geeking out and squealing watching that episode
Care Bears is a joy to behold. They're just so fun to watch. Though, I'm a Cousins guy, they're more distinct. But you're right about the pig. Best one.
What amazes me is, they're very vintage. And yet, they're pretty well clear of Monosodium Glutamate content. It's been decades, but they didn't hit the way that other media has. That's good I suppose.
For the lion guard video
Athena when you ever get to the lion guard for your video if you want the full context of the timeline
Watch TLK then TLK 2 up until kiara meets kovu before her first hunt then pause and watch TLG seasons 1 and 2 then watch season 3 the first few episodes then finish TLK 2 then finish the rest of season 3
If u want more context for the video since it’s probably been awhile since u saw the og movies if u wanna add those to the lore explained since it’s all one interconnected timeline
For context for the viewers who haven’t seen the show but if you remember all the details of the movies then you can just watch the show
Hope I didn’t give anything away about the show accidentally
Is this an approach u wanna take or is it too complicated
Love the video! I'm pretty sure the old guy narrating the first Care Bears movie is Nicholas (the villain kid of the first movie). This has a further implication that Care Bears don't age in case that's any fun.
The second movie's timeline is so weird, because the kids in the 2nd movie babysit the bears as cubs, and then meet the bears again as adults, implying they just grow up in like 2 weeks. Weird.
This is a colab I didn’t know I needed, thank you dear Creators!
Two of many of my favorite CZcamsrs together is amazing I love both of them
Care Bears are a deep rooted memory for me. I used to have a care bear sleeping bag. In additition when i went to my first sleepover in PreSchool we watched the Care Bears movie, but then I was scared to sleep over so I asked to go home
You look like Blooregard Q Kazoo, lol, I love it.
The DIC series is so nostalgic to me. We had a vhs of it when my brother and I were kids, which we either sold or lost in a house fire. I kept thinking it was a special
I hope your family issues are being worked on and or is being addressed and resolved. Thank you for still focusing on the channel when you don’t have to be, and still uploading. I appreciate it as I look forward to your videos each week. :)
Didn't expect CAREBEARS of all things to get political, and yet here we are!
Also the No-Heartasaurus could just have been one of No-Heart's many forms, i'm pretty sure that dudes as immortal as he is immoral
We had a Care Bear VHS growing up, it must have been an episode compilation or something because I only recognize the one about the kid getting a sibling, the one about making friends with Grumpy, and MAYBE the one about the wedding
That was absolutely mwah chefs kiss amazing. Thanks for the amazing content Athena!
Glad I'm not alone in the Cousins > Bears take!
Hello! I’ve dedicated my life to Care Bears and have been subscribed to you for a year or two now and am so happy you are covering them! If you like Beastly and No Heart now, don’t get used to it. The newest Care Bears: Unlock the Magic 2019 series ruins both of them in a singular special episode.
They were brought back? I understand Beastly, since he was in the previous series as King Beastly, but how does No Heart work? I can't imagine without his original VA, Chris Wiggins. He was half of what made that character so great. I definitely believe you in this regard, and that's such a shame. Most of 2019 seems decent, especially the villains, so how could they botch this so hard?
@@cassidyszewczyk5029 Spoilers: but they ruined the characters because by the end of the episode they have No Heart a heart, made him a good guy, and now Beatly and No Heart and partners in caring.
@@VideoPresident I get the idea, but it really does take away from the point of the characters. Plus, as I stated, I can't imagine them without the original voices.
Oooh my god, a legendary AthenaP collab with the GOAT Rainbott about one of my favorite properties ever WITH a surprise bonus Trixie Mattel Jumpscare??? actually, LITERALLY iconic episode of the LORE series
please do the little bear lore 🙏 I never see anyone talk about this show. I watched it a lot as a kid and I remember it had some disturbing episodes like one where the animals tried to cook their friend because an evil talking puppet told them to do so, or one where they made a funeral for a doll... I'd love a deep dive into the lore of this show.
i never really watched the carebears but they do bring me nostalgia cuz when i used to visits my Mimi and Papa house EVERYTIME i would get there multiple coloring books of carebears and i memorized every character just off of those. this video is very intriguing and interesting!! PLS NEVER STOP THESE LORE VIDEOS ATHENA !!!
THE BLUE HAIR!!! It looks fantastic!
also RIP Uncle Skidlybop, we hardly knew ye.
Uncle Skiddidly Boo dying was the saddest thing I literally cried
28:15 - 28:55 Is the funniest skit since the Elena of Avalore Mateo confrontation scene. Also, Ben cameo ftw.
Hell yeah!! Care Bears was my jam growing up. I’m so glad you made a lore vid on this.
I’m also glad I wasn’t the only one who had a massive Care Bears phase as a kid.
Grandma and the babies, and by extension, the grandpa, are from a separate line of Care Bears who ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Fearing that, if they continued to eat from the Tree of Life, they would become as powerful as he, the Cloud Keeper cast them out of his garden, making them mortal.
I always enjoy your lore videos, but haven't really watched most of the shows you've covered. This one is definitely special to me.
I really loved Care Bears so much as a young lad. I collected the plushies and LOVED the cousins! All the different colored characters and each one having their own symbol/power was and IS exactly my vibe. I had some of the specials and movies on VHS/DvD and it was always just a nice time. I reslly regret giving away those plushies once I let heteronormativity/masculinity drive me away from Care Bears and anything "girly" because I was scared of being seen as gay.
But I ended up queer regardless of Care Bears and it feels so nostalgic to see you talking about it and seeing clips I havent watched since my childhood. Thank you Athena for your work on this and all your videos.
I remember a movie where three new bears came and used wish bears wish powers and I think they almost killed the world or wish bear because the world went grey
The big wish movie!
"Uh... Wish Bear.... What did you wish for?"
"YEEEEEHAW!!!!"
I'm so glad she made this also she looks awesome💜💚
Land without feelings...to quote Grandpa Lou, Land Without Brains is more like it. Couldn't resist lol
I have a strange Mandela effect or something when it comes to the second movie because I could have sworn that it was stated that Noble Heart took the cousins away to the forest of feelings to keep them safe while True Heart took care of the normal carebears and kept them safe because of whatever they were being chased by in the intro of the second movie. And that obviously let's the first movie take place technically in the middle of the second movie. I can't remember if the cousins had patches before and got them taken away for their safety or if they just never had them, but I'm pretty sure either way it got explained somehow. Obviously this doesn't happen and I was extremely confused as to why when I rewatched the movies recently
ok now that you’ve said something- that’s the way I remember it too?? I was already confused bc it didn’t seem right in the video .. but obviously it is so ..
Is it possible there were two versions of the movie or something??
@@kenneth0334 definitely possible, idk I haven't done too much research but I'm glad that I'm not the only one who remembered the movie this way lol
*This is mainly a headcannon*, but while I do feel like partially the reason why they separated was to keep the cubs safe from Dark Heart (the one who was looking for them), I don't think it's the main reason. Obviously them protecting them from Dark Heart was a huge reason and they probably realized it after thinking about it, but part of me feels like the reason was also so it would be easier to take care of them all.
I mean think about it. They were taking care of *23* babies by themselves. And it would be even tougher when one of them goes on a caring mission and one has to take care of ALL 23 by themselves (as seen in that one bit from the movie). Imagine how stressed and sleep deprived they could've been!
Obviously, them taking half and half of the babies would still mean they needed sleep, but it would've been much easier taking care of 10-13 instead of all 23 at once. It would be easier to take care of them all, easier to pay attention to them all, and easier to keep them safe (not just from Dark Heart)
"Uh Oh Joe Biden Jumpscare" had me dead 💀
The original 2 specials are probably some of the very few Care Bears Media I’ve never seen.
I was 6 or 7 when I stumbled into care bares by pure randomness and……i fell in love with movie 2. I even imagined a major back story based on all the questions that movie 2 raises. Still adore it to this day, especially the last song. Reminds me of my mother.
My heart completely melted throughout this video from how much caring and friendship was harnessed to make me feel inspired to care- No… to give a shit about the power of ✨friendship✨
