I'm glad this wasn't just a fever dream
MrBubblehead
And if you want a maritime chuckle look up the "Clare bears"
FoolishMortal
Produced by Canadian studio Nelvana . Who also brough you this epic bit of 80's nostalgia
darkstarmc
Carebears is Canadian? Wait does that mean Americans have no idea about the care bear stare?
Dzuha
Low budget? I dont think i ever saw this show, but there was shitloads of merch from this show back in the days here in Finland..
Rakoth
Hmm, has Toy Galaxy covered Care Bears yet? Probably just a matter of time.
ginesquad
a lot of children’s animation is done in Canada
ISayShenanigans
Don't remember much of the cartoon, but I remember it had a catchy theme song after the Care Bare Cousins we're introduced.
SleeperXib
I never even questioned this. I guess, as a kid, I must have assumed it was a separate show.

The space arc was only 8 episodes, I remember it being longer
jenw
I loved me some Care Bears. These episodes were gold.
walnutbreath
Giving us the CareBears is the only reason we didn't turn Canada's cities to ash after they sent us Caillou. Fuck that bald ass prick. He's
literally the only time the world collectively cheered for pediatric cancer to win.
saMCda
I didn’t know why they were in space, but this was my favorite episodes when I was a kid
houpbajoup
I didn't expect the Dinosaur Comics guy to upend my whole day but here it is
JigglyWitch
Omg I'm having vivid flashbacks of this from my childhood. My brain is splitting. I used to get my hair cut at a place that had toys.
sauron35
no idea this was canadian... seeing a lot of my korean elementary students with care bears merch now, they have no idea it was a show
Shaows
Were the Kling-ons just other Carebears that just bearhugged people to death?
stayingalive4life
elbowdeepinawhateverthatis
See, there’s a joke in here somewhere about cling-ons and the Charmin toilet paper bears.
dualplains
"Today IS a good day to care!"
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
Klingons were grizzly bears.
Illithidbane
Now I am picturing Prince Philionel from Slayers shouting "caring bearhug crush!"
KimShunpei
These guys are still kicking in French politics. There is a popular saying here : ce n'est le monde des Bisounours.
"ce n'est pas le monde des Bisounours" Sry, forgot a word
lepidoptera
Wait, so the rest of the world doesn’t have Care Bears? What are all your boxes in your parents basement stuffed with?
LeMegachonk
Care Bears isn't Canadian, the show was just produced by a Canadian company. Care Bears was invented and is owned by American Greetings.
OldenPickles
Looks like Trek canon bearverse to me. Borg are rubix cubes.
msd3k
Would that make the Bajorans Pound Puppies?
navagon
'You will be completed' *reorganises care bears' internal organs so the colours match*
PrettyLittleThrowAwa03
I'm sorry what?
Zega000
Dress for the job you want I guess
RawwrrRawwrrLikeaDungeonDragon
Uh-oh. They all have red shirts
Trollero
Yup, that's why it was their final season
sadurdaynight
The problem is the target demographic matures quickly when a show comes out, so the shows try to start adding more plot... but kids 1/
decide they've out-grown the show at that point, so the "deeper" plot flops. This is why a lot of kids cartoons have 2 yr lifespans./
Masterfngrblaster
It's called evolution bro
LutraLazuli
Dunno why, but always seemed to like the purple raccoon one
relsky
I have a soft spot for the care bears... I enjoyed the cartoon, and my childhood crush was named cari and I called her care bear...
OriginalSyn
Huh never realized that this was a Canadian cartoon. It was so ubiquitous in my childhood I just assumed it was part of everyone's.
Magnasplit
Saw it in Norway on Sky Channel (Fun Factory or DJ Cat show I think) on cable. Think they sold the toys here as well.
kitticuskattus
I was on the DJ Cat show once! At least I assume it is the same one. They came to film us doing archery. They cut my line though
fantabuloustimewaster
Definitely syndicated to the US. Like the Kids In The Hall of Saturday morning cartoons.
ToSisPoS
Lol. I’m trying to picture a sanitized kid-friendly cartoon version of KiTH now.
Rannath
Apparently that would be carebears.
I'm Crushing your Sadness! I am crushing it!
Thank you for that. That's the fist genuine laugh I've had all month.
taichanie
I literally can't find anything that its Canadian other then it aired here...

Nelvana bro
Wylf
Was a thing in Germany too. I even sold Carebear plushies as an adult, in my first job at a toy store, back in the late 2000s
ThePenguinSmuggler
Care bears transcend boarders
AshesVonDust
My mom worked for Crawley/Atkinson animation before I was born. A LOT of animation around that time came from here.
And yes, my birth DID ruin her career, thanks for asking.

I saw it in the US, but I also managed to see the Australian show Ocean Girl so idk what channels I was getting in the 90s.
afatrollofmyown
I was nuts for Ocean Girl back in the day!
All three seasons of Ocean Girl were wonderful.
HasteTheFool
The Canadian cartoon industry spread the Canadian ways all over the world. It's part of the reason hope still remains.
DarkDuskBlade
Yeah, I'm always amazed at the sheer number of cartoons that come from Canada. Hollow surprised me. I think Glitch Techs, too
Coyotebd
Reboot, Rocket Robinhood (and by extension and the re-use of cells) OG spiderman, Racoons
