Product Description

The Care Bears were created by American Greetings 25 years ago to show children how to share their special feelings.  In a few short years, they became the cherished teddy bear friends of an entire generation of children around the world.

This special edition 25th Anniversary Care Bear celebrates 25 years of making the world a more caring place.  It features a sterling silver plated nose and hip heart, sparkling Swarovski crystal eyes and comes with a special edition lost episode DVD, Land Without Feelings.  A 28-minute television special that aired in 1983 and has not been released since, it was the world's first glimpse into the world of Care-a-lot and the lovable, huggable Care Bears.

Customer Reviews

This is a Beautiful Care Bear
25th Anniversary Bear is a really beautiful Care Bear. This bear is worthy of the 25th anniversary of the Care Bears because it has special crystal eyes, a spangling silver nose, and silver embroidery. As a child, I really liked the Care Bears because each bear had unique looks and personalities. Amazon is selling this bear at $19.99, which is about the same price as Walmart is selling it. Plus, at this moment, Amazon will ship this bear for free, with a purchase of over $25.00. Any child who grew up during the 80s will find this bear is well designed and might make the perfect bear for their own child(ren).

Very approachable upscale bear.
On the one hand, this one is a "designer" teddy bear, complete with Swarovski eyes, nose, silver heart and silver banner; on the other hand, it's the softest bear you'd ever lay your hands on if the recipient allowed it. I was curious about the hour-long video about the history of the Care Bears as well as the cartoon that has been rediscovered and restored for the first time in several decades. But my 3-year-old grand-daughter had other things in mind than watching historical, or history-making, movies. This Care Bear proved the right companion to get her to bed and end her pestering us for more presents. In short, this aristocratic but convivial Barney might be just as appropriate for a bear-deprived, discerning and appreciative adult as a child. It would probably even make a bear-lover out of Stephen Colbert. Now I'm wishing I'd secretly bought this classy if not classic bear for myself and purchased the less expensive purple Care Bear for my grand-daughter who, none the wiser, would have been none the less content.

blast from the past!
i actually bought this for the dvd alone. the stuffed bear was just a bonus. when i was little i used to watch a copy of this on vhs. it was one of my favorite cartoons and ive always liked it. now that i have kids i wanted to share with them the things i enjoyed as a child. and this went over well with them. they loved it! and it was just as good as i remembered. next up strawberry shortcake! (the original 80's version not the new one!)
