Cloudco Entertainment, owner of the Care Bears franchise, is proud to announce six all-new animated Care Bears: Unlock the Magic specials scheduled to debut throughout 2024 on Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max in the U.S.
Adding to the 50 episodes previously launched in the U.S. on Max and elsewhere globally, the all-new animated specials and their respective launch dates are:
- The Quest for the Rainbow Stone (launched Feb. 2)
- Grumpy’s Ginormous Adventure (premiers March 8)
- The Star of a Thousand Wishes (July 5)
- The Bad Crowd Strikes Back (Sept. 1)
- The Mystery of the Snickering Ghost (Oct. 4)
- The No Heart Games (Nov. 1)
All of the new specials retain the look and feel of the animated TV series, but lean into bigger, more theatrical themes. The specials have already launched in key international territories on Pop! (U.K.) and Family Channel (Canada) with pan-E.U., pan-LatAm and other key global launches to be announced shortly.
“We’re excited that Care Bears: Unlock the Magic storytelling continues, and in a format that allows us to build upon our Season 1 episodes, with fun mini-movies that make the overall Care Bears offering on Max in the U.S. more of an event than just a drop of new content,” said Ian Lambur, SVP of Content for Cloudco Entertainment.
The Care Bears also marked their 40th anniversary in 2022 and was recently voted “The #3 Hottest Brand” in the global character licensing business by License Global Magazine. The enduring brand also boasts a YouTube channel that has recently surpassed 175 million views.
