Care Bears

The Care Bears are an 80's show. I was quite young then, so I can't remember much, but I do remember what much this cartoon taught me: To love, care and share.

There are a number of bears groups. In Singapore, they only aired episodes consisting of the Care Bears, and the Care Bear cousins. Or so as I can recall.
