Line 16:
* ''[[Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation]]''
* ''[[The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland]]''
----
{{tropenamer}}
* [[Care Bear Stare]]: After a non-fatal attack (and later, also a healing maneuver) typically employed in the series.
* [[Grumpy Bear]]: After a character from the series: A dark blue Care Bear with a raincloud on its tummy.
----
{{franchisetropes}}
* [[Agony Beam]]: The [[Care Bear Stare]] functions like one to [[The Heartless]] and others who [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good|cannot comprehend good]].
* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: In one episode, No Heart banishes Beastly, and Shreeky finds that she misses him. Awww...
** Then again, the episode gave no reason to believe it was just because Shreeky didn't like doing Beastly's chores.
* [[Barefoot Cartoon

'''Oopsy''': But, we [[Lampshade Hanging|don't wear boots]].
'''Grizzle''': Well, look anyway! }}
* [[Beary Cute]]: The Care Bears are technicolor teddy bears with special symbols on their bellies called Belly Badges, which are related to their personality and magical powers.
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: A major theme of the CGI ''Big Wish Movie''. Wish Bear, upset that nobody likes her wishes, wishes for some bears to come to Care-a-Lot who like wishing just as much as she does. She gets her wish, but the new neighbors turn out to like wishing so much that they take away Twinkers, her wishing star, from her.
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
* [[Cheerful Child]]: Hugs and Tugs Bear, the cubs.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: A movie, ''Care Bears Nutcracker Suite''.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: The Cloud Keeper, Professor Coldheart and Frostbite. This is due to [[
* [[Circle of Friendship]]: Care Bares love this move.
* [[Crying Wolf]]: Crying swamp monster, actually. Then there was a "real" swamp monster who happened to be Beastly in disguise, and the ''real'' real monster wasn't bad.
Line 65 ⟶ 67:
* [[For the Evulz]]: Pretty much the only reason almost any villain does anything. Except for ''Adventures in Care-a-Lot'''s Grizzle, who simply hates the Care Bears and wishes to take over, or at least be rid of, Care-a-Lot.
** Another exception is the Wizard of Wonderland from the third movie ''Care Bears Adventure In Wonderland''. His motive is political power (he wants to become the new king of Wonderland).
* [[Forced Meme]]: Trying to capitalize on the success of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]], somebody in PR came up with...[https://web.archive.org/web/20120618055920/http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/the-hub-hopes-men-will-start-calling-themselves-belly-bros-and-care-dudes.html this.] Fortunately, the Hub [https://web.archive.org/web/20120619163353/http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/the-hub-no-longer-encourages-%
* [[Four-Fingered Hands]]: Shreeky. Oddly, other human characters, including her uncle No Heart, have all five fingers. [[Wild Mass Guessing|Maybe there's a story there.]]
** ...Shreeky and No-Heart are humans?
** Just watch Nutcracker Suite. Count how many fingers Alan Prince/Nutcracker, his wife and their students have.
* [[Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul]]: The Care Bear Stare had this effect in the [[
* [[Glad I Thought of It]]: Shreeky did this with Beastly practically [[Once Per Episode]].
* [[Good Feels Good]]: Initially played straight with Beastly's [[Heel Face Turn]], then subverted. He runs back to Shreeky at the end of the episode because he can't stand the taste of diabetes being a Care Bear brings.
Line 83 ⟶ 85:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Grumpy Bear.
* [[Large Ham]]: The voice actors and actresses playing the villains had a lot of fun.
* [[Licensed Game|Licensed Games]]:
** Averted in the 80s: One was planned for the [[Atari 2600]], but was scrapped when the great crash came around.
** For the 2000s revival: One for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and One for the V-Tech V-Smile. And three for PC/Macs.
Line 113 ⟶ 115:
* [[The Power of Rock]]: That one too. (As an aside, have you noticed that these "Power Of" Tropes seem to be the Holy Trinity for 80's cartoons?)
** Grams Bear plays an electric guitar in one episode.
* [[Princesses Rule]]: Princess Starglo, who is the "mother of all stars", yet is not a queen.
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Professor Coldheart, Frostbite, and Auntie Freeze. Then later, Shreeky and Beastly, who also serve as a two-person [[Terrible Trio]].
* [[Real Dreams Are Weirder]]: In the ''Adventures in Care-a-Lot'' TV series, all the Care Bears share a dreamspace where they tend to have rather mundane dreams (where they do the same things they tend to do in their waking lives), so it was rather refreshing to see the bears having more dream-like dreams in the ''Share Bear Shines'' movie.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: One of the oddest examples this side of "Fonzie and the [[Happy Days]] Gang". The final season of the original "Care Bears Family" cartoon featured two spinoffs. One was a Recycled IN SPACE ''[[Star Trek]]'' parody. The other was a Recycled In [[Prehistoria]] ''Clan of the Cave Bear'' parody. This, friends, is what a [[Dork Age]] looks like and the cartoon was canceled soon after.
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]
Line 131 ⟶ 133:
* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: In the first movie, and it was alive.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: In the Nelvana series, Champ Bear calls everyone "sports fan" no matter what the context.
* [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]]: The [[
* [[Villainous Friendship]] : Dark Heart and Christy in the second movie.
* [[Villain Song]]: In the first TV special: "Allow me to introduce myself!/They call me Professor Coldheart..."
** And from the Adventures in Care-a-Lot movie ''Oopsy Does It'', "Grizzle's Bad."
** "When I'm the King of Wonderland" in the ''Wonderland'' movie.
* [[Wasn't That Fun?]]: In one segment from the "Giving Festival" movie, Oopsy and Wingnut help Trueheart get over her fear of rollercoasters. Part of their method involves riding the ferris wheel first, but they accidentally set the wheel to super fast, sending the wheel spinning at at a terrifying pace. Once they get it stopped, Trueheart seems to be in shock, until she says, "[[Punctuated!
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: ''Adventures in Care-a-Lot'' has one when a [[Love Potion]] goes wrong, turning the other Care Bears into creepy "love zombies" bent on apparently hugging Oopsy to death.
