The Care Bears animated television series was based on the Care Bears franchise created by Claire Russell. The Care Bears were created by Russell for American Greetings in 1981, but have become so popular that other merchandise and entertainment was made.
The series focused on characters such as Tenderheart Bear, Birthday Bear, and Wish Bear who lived in Care-a-Lot. They went on Missions in Caring to prevent evil forces such as Professor Coldheart or Lord No Heart from taking over the Kingdom of Caring, which was located high up in the clouds. The Care Bears was wildly successful throughout the ’80s and sparked some movies.
