Care Bears
Plush rainbow crew
Care Bears is a franchise of colorful bear characters, each identified by a symbol on its belly representing a particular emotion or trait, such as tenderness, cheerfulness, or grumpiness.
Originating as greeting card illustrations in the early 1980s, they became a merchandising phenomenon spanning toys, animated television series, and films.
The name is sometimes used dismissively to characterize something as excessively cute or saccharine, or to mock overly optimistic attitudes: This isn't a Care Bears situation—we need to be realistic.
