Today, fans of all ages around the world are falling in love with these huggable bears who help kids have fun while sharing and caring, and they enjoy a robust portfolio of thousands of Care Bears licensed products at retailers globally. The Care Bears are no strangers to television screens. They first appeared in their own television specials in 1983 and 1984, and then made the leap to the big screen in 1985-87 with \u201cThe Care Bears Movie\u201d trilogy. They also had their own television series from 1985 to 1988, which is currently available to watch on Netflix. The new Netflix Original Series \u201cCare Bears &amp; Cousins\u201d, launched in fall 2015, and continues to delight fans around the world. The brand also has a robust social media following, has more than 25 million views of new and classic videos on YouTube, and has a portfolio of popular apps for mobile devices.
