* ChannelHop: The franchise's colorful animated history started with Creator/DiCEntertainment animating the early WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s episodes, but halfway through the series production changed to Creator/{{Nelvana}}. Then production slowed down until the franchise was canned after blatant mismanagement all but killed it. When the franchise returned, Nelvana resumed production at first with two specials, then the production was shifted over to [=DiC=] again with WesternAnimation/CareBearsAdventuresInCareALot. This did not last, however, as Hasbro then [[ExecutiveMeddling meddled]], fresh from prying the master license out of Play Along Toys' hands, and handing production over to [=MoonScoop=], who went on to produce the equally short-lived WesternAnimation/CareBearsWelcomeToCareALot. [=MoonScoop=] then underwent a takeover, and returned as Splash! Entertainment, who then produced WesternAnimation/CareBearsAndCousins for Netflix.

** The toys have an equally colorful history- they started out being produced by Kenner, lasting through Hasbro's purchase of the brand, but eventually got shelved when blatant mismanagement all but killed the brand. The brand was then sold to Play Along Toys, who managed to nurse it back to health. In late 2007 tho, Hasbro took the brand back, but again mismanaged it. American Greetings was definitely '''not''' pleased, and revoked Hasbro's rights ''again'', this time giving the rights to Just Play Inc.

American Greetings was definitely '''not''' pleased, pleased with how long Hasbro took to make toys, and revoked Hasbro's rights ''again'', this time giving the rights to Just Play. In 2018, the rights were transitioned off to Basic Fun! Toys, a company founded by the same person as Play Inc.Along.



* NoExportForYou: Oddly enough, Japan only got the second movie (''A New Generation'') of the original movie trilogy and ''none'' of the animated series until the 2000's direct-to-video specials. Taking into account the Japanese (and mostly East Asian) taste for anything cute and cuddly, it's really odd that the franchise skipped those audiences for many years. However, the Care Bears once collaborated with Creator/{{Sanrio}} (with "The Little Twin Stars") and created Japanese exclusive merchandise.

* SequelGap: After the Nelvana-produced ''[[WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s Care Bears]]'' series ended in 1988, the franchise went 16 years without an AnimatedAdaptation until 2004's ''Care Bears: Journey to Joke-a-lot''. If their first animated series since 1988 is to be considered, then it's 19 years with ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAdventuresInCareALot'' (2007) closing the gap.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Jeff Gordon - television - is a director and producer and storyboard artist for shows such as ''JakersTheAdventuresOfPiggleyWinks'' and ''{{Histeria}}''. Not the same individual as the NASCAR legend.
** The Story Editor in the first episode of ''Welcome to Care-a-Lot'' is no other than Amy Keating Rogers. She is one of the headwritters of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. In fact, Keating Rogers is apparently the staff story editor, as there haven't been any others so far.

* HeyItsThatVoice: No kidding on this one, since the '80's series got the best voice actors in several animated shows in the 80's/90's while both the 2000 specials and Adventures in Care-A-Lot got {{The Ocean Group}} backing them up. Resulting in:
** Creator/CreeSummer in the first two movies.
** Shreeky's and Baby Hugs' VA voiced SailorMoon at one point.
*** Weird to say that Cheer Bear is also SailorMoon in all three movies.
*** Not to mention that Champ Bear was Sailor Jupiter
** TaraStrong, back when she was Tara Charendoff.
** Tender Heart Bear is voiced by Billie Mae Richards -- better known as RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer from the Rankin/Bass production.
*** His Adventures in Care-A-Lot incarnation is voiced by Creator/MattHill.
** Grumpy Bear's VA is Bob Dermer, who also voiced Ralph in ''TheRaccoons'' and was the voice and puppeteer for Sam Crenshaw on ''Series/TodaysSpecial''.
** The original series shared quite a few voice actors with TheRaccoons, [[{{Tintin}} The Adventures of Tintin]] and {{Nelvana}}'s {{Babar}} cartoon. The full cast list is [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0284713/ here]].
*** TheMovie had Creator/CreeSummer and MickeyRooney, whilst the sequel had [[Film/{{Superman}} that kid who fell over Niagara Falls in Superman II]] and Creator/CreeSummer again.
** Dawn is [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Claire Redfield]].
** At one point, Wish Bear was voiced by StephanieBeard.
** Amigo Bear's first voice actor is Creator/VeronicaTaylor.
** Grizzle himself [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED is a clone of Al Da Flaga]].
** This even makes is more unbelievable that Bedtime Bear is a [[MobileSuitGundam00 Super Soldier]].
** Proud Heart Cat, Share Bear and True Heart Bear were all [[BakuganBattleBrawlers Tigrerra]].
** Funshine Bear is a [[DragonBall Super Saiyan]].
*** Bakugan related, the female Funshine Bear is also [[BakuganBattleBrawlers Runo]].
** The 2005 Love-A-Lot Bear is a [[Anime/TenchiMuyo Cabbit who can turn into a Spaceship]].
** Friend Bear is [[WesternAnimation/{{X-Men}} Jean Gray]].
** Moving to the not-so-famous ''Welcome to Care-a-Lot'' cast:
*** Tenderheart Bear is voiced by David Lodge, aka [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Kenpachi Zaraki]]. Definitely PlayingAgainstType.
*** Grumpy Bear and Beastly are voiced by Creator/DougErholtz
*** Share Bear, Secret Bear and Laugh-a-Lot Bear are voiced by StephanieSheh.
*** Funshine Bear and Birthday Bear are voiced by MichaelSinterniklaas.

* HeyItsThatVoice: No kidding on this one, since the '80's series got the best voice actors in several animated shows in the 80's/90's while both the 2000 specials and Adventures in Care-A-Lot got {{The Ocean Group}} backing them up. Resulting in:
** Creator/CreeSummer in the first two movies.
** Shreeky's and Baby Hugs' VA voiced SailorMoon at one point.
*** Weird to say that Cheer Bear is also SailorMoon in all three movies.
*** Not to mention that Champ Bear was Sailor Jupiter
** TaraStrong, back when she was Tara Charendoff.
** Tender Heart Bear is voiced by Billie Mae Richards -- better known as RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer from the Rankin/Bass production.
*** His Adventures in Care-A-Lot incarnation is voiced by Creator/MattHill.
** Grumpy Bear's VA is Bob Dermer, who also voiced Ralph in ''TheRaccoons'' and was the voice and puppeteer for Sam Crenshaw on ''Series/TodaysSpecial''.
** The original series shared quite a few voice actors with TheRaccoons, [[{{Tintin}} The Adventures of Tintin]] and {{Nelvana}}'s {{Babar}} cartoon. The full cast list is [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0284713/ here]].
*** TheMovie had Creator/CreeSummer and MickeyRooney, whilst the sequel had [[Film/{{Superman}} that kid who fell over Niagara Falls in Superman II]] and Creator/CreeSummer again.
** Dawn is [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Claire Redfield]].
** At one point, Wish Bear was voiced by StephanieBeard.
** Amigo Bear's first voice actor is Creator/VeronicaTaylor.
** Grizzle himself [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED is a clone of Al Da Flaga]].
** This even makes is more unbelievable that Bedtime Bear is a [[MobileSuitGundam00 Super Soldier]].
** Proud Heart Cat, Share Bear and True Heart Bear were all [[BakuganBattleBrawlers Tigrerra]].
** Funshine Bear is a [[DragonBall Super Saiyan]].
*** Bakugan related, the female Funshine Bear is also [[BakuganBattleBrawlers Runo]].
** The 2005 Love-A-Lot Bear is a [[Anime/TenchiMuyo Cabbit who can turn into a Spaceship]].
** Friend Bear is [[WesternAnimation/{{X-Men}} Jean Gray]].
