History WesternAnimation / CareBearsWelcomeToCareALot

* BrokenAesop: "Welcome to Grump-a-Lot" had a [[AnAesop stated lesson]] about controlling your emotions when you get frustrated, conveniently ignoring that the only reason why Grumpy was so frustrated in the first place was that the others were acting like inconsiderate jerks towards him, ignoring his wish for privacy and refusing to leave him alone until he seriously lost his temper with them. It also totally goes against Grumpy's purpose in the Care Bears cast- teaching kids it's okay to sometimes be grumpy.

* CluelessAesop: "Welcome to Grump-a-Lot" had a [[AnAesop stated lesson]] about controlling your emotions when you get frustrated, conveniently ignoring that the only reason why Grumpy was so frustrated in the first place was that the others were acting like inconsiderate jerks towards him, ignoring his wish for privacy and refusing to leave him alone until he seriously lost his temper with them. It also totally goes against Grumpy's purpose in the Care Bears cast- teaching kids it's okay to sometimes be grumpy.

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Rainbows have pretty much always had power in the ''Care Bears'' franchise, but in this series their power seems to have been turned UpToEleven with rainbow rays and more. There's also a "Let's Make a Rainbow" song that has been used more than once. Official and full version can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4jQ6i57SS8 here.]]

* NiceHat: On Wonderheart Bear and Floppy Bunny in "Holi-Stage." They can be seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqEVXKo6WOM&feature=g-all this official video.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Pretty much every Care Bear that isn't part of the main cast or [[BrotherChuck Chucked]] out of the series appears as either a background character or in a minor role.

* FurryReminder: Whenever Harmony got very upset, she would swipe her paws with a sharp sound effect.

The series follows in the vein of the previous ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAdventuresInCareALot'' by featuring both episodes in which the Care Bears must help out real kids, but also includes those focusing solely on the bears themselves. The previously introduced character of Oopsy Bear has been eliminated, as well as the villain Grizzle and his robotic minions. The series instead features Beastly, a villainous minion from the [[WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s 80s series]] who has become much more of a comic mischief-maker, accompanied by two little "Beasties." The series also restores Tenderheart Bear as the leader of the characters and introduces Tenderheart's niece, Wonderheart Bear, a ConstantlyCurious bear who doesn't quite know what her belly badge does, though she's trying hard to learn.

* IWantSong: Wonderheart Bear's "Can't Wait To Be The One"

* PersonalitySwap: Happens in "Feeling Flu" when all of the main cast members, bar Tenderheart and Harmony, catch an odd flu that causes them to swap personalities and feelings. Tenderheart already had it as a kid, and Harmony managed to avoid by taking extra-good care of herself in preparation for an upcoming concert. Cheer Bear gets Grumpy Bear's personality, while Funshine's goes to Share Bear. Grumpy Bear gets Cheer Bear's personality, and Cheer gets Grumpy's. Wonderheart Bear and Beastly directly swap personalities.

* AwardBaitSong: "When Life is Like a Sad Song" from "Sad About You" has a definite feel of this and comes complete with Joy (the human visitor of the day) and Grumpy Bear waving candles, a reference to the [[RaisedLighterTribute candle-waving or lighter-raising]] often seen at the performances of certain power ballads, most notably Music/LynyrdSkynyrd's "[=FreeBird=]."

* ThroughAFaceFullOfFur: In "Shunshine," Funshine's face goes green after he can't stomah anymore pies in the pie-eating contest against Grumpy.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: When trying to avoid Aiden in "More Fun with Grumpy," Funshine states "I have to do this thing... What bears have to do when they're in the forest."
