Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot
Opposed to the previous animation produced by DiC and Nelvana in the 80s, and as with Oopsy Does It!, this serial has the new redesigned Care Bears with redesigned tummy symbols (now called “belly badges”). It also features a redesigned Care-A-Lot.

In addition, there was at first no interaction with humans or other supernatural entities like those found in the previous iteration.[1] (a recently released DVD features an episode where they interact with a human). Instead, as an immediate follow-up to Oopsy Does It!, the series inherits the sole villain from the movie, Grizzle, who has robots to do his bidding.

While other Care Bears do make shows in the show, the series primarily focuses on 5 Care Bears in particular as seen on the Care Bears website: Cheer Bear, the new leader of the group, Share Bear, who’s now a horticulturist, Grumpy Bear, now an inventor, Funshine Bear, now an energetic fun guy instead of a jokester, and introduced in Oopsy Does It!, Oopsy Bear.[2] The show’s theme song is performed by Kay Hanley.[3] Also, as of Feb. 2008, the Care Bear Cousins have yet to make an appearance in this series (although it could be a possibility in the near future, as The Forest of Feelings was recently mentioned in another of the new Direct-to-DVD stories). While the Care Bear Stare is featured, it is now a way to cheer people up.

In early November of 2008 American Greetings announced a new CGI Direct-To-DVD movie to appear, Share Bear Shines, it is anticipated to be based after AiCaL, particularly after the 2009
