The Care Bears

Care Bears is an animated television series based on the franchise of the same name. After two specials in 1983 the main series began in 1985. The series was produced by DIC Audiovisuel's American branch DIC Enterprises and aired on syndication a while after the theatrical release of the first movie in the series. In 1986, The Care Bears Family, a successor series by the Canadian studio Nelvana that had produced the movies, aired on Global in Canada and on ABC in the United States. From 1990 to 1997, The Care Bears Family does not have the rare original versions of the Care Bears (DIC series) episodes, but the more common of these episodes has been seen as part of the later syndicated run of the regular DIC and Nelvana series (which was also seen on the Disney Channel and, later, Toon Disney). In 2007, Sabella Dern Entertainment produced a revival, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot.
