----
{{franchisetropes}}
=== Tropes Demonstrated: ===
* [[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 AnimalsAnimal]]s:
{{quote|'''Grizzle''': Behold my power suit and quake in your boots.
'''Oopsy''': But, we [[Lampshade Hanging|don't wear boots]].<br />
'''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 [[Di CDiC]] losing the rights to the TV series and Nelvana not being able to own [[Di CDiC]]'s original characters.
* [[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-%e2E2%80%9cbelly9Cbelly-bros%e2E2%80%9d9D-and-%e2E2%80%9ccare9Ccare-dudes%e2E2%80%9d9D.html immediately backpedalled on this], but only time would tell if the damage hasn't already been done.
* [[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 [[Di CDiC]], to somewhat [[Nightmare Fuel|disturbing]] results. It was toned back into an all purpose weapon against evil in the Nelvana series before returning to its roots in ''Adventures In Care-A-Lot''.
* [[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 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 [[Di CDiC]] and Nelvana TV series and movies are these.
* [[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..."
