Care Bear clips
Jun. 2nd, 2015 05:09 pmSo in the morning I watched a whole bunch more Care Bears clips, in preparation for probably going out today and maybe getting a plush. I was hoping to decide which one I'd like most, but that ain't happening. Like a plushie commercial I saw said, "How can you have just one?" Not only do I want quite a few, I can't decide who should be first. LOL.
I saw Cheer Bear actually being helpful and sweet, instead of making up dumb and unhelpful and discouraging "cheers", so maybe when she did the latter in that one episode, it was a one-time thing because she was so nervous herself about the imminent disaster. That's kind of amusing and in any case, I'm glad to see her behave mostly as I thought she would. I like her now.
I liked Share Bear (the lighter purple one) from the first round, and I like her even more now. She's nice and sweet (when she isn't being overcome by jealousy, which hopefully was just a onetime thing).
Wonderheart, the little girl bear, I liked on both rounds. She's little enough to be cute, but old enough and intelligent enough to have good conversations with and to know what's going on around town. I don't know; I usually tend to like the little kid characters. I always loved Chibiusa on Sailor Moon, even when a lot of dub fans were railing about her. I liked her in the dub (although I admit I did not like her in her very first episode) and then I liked her much more in the sub.
I wish I could have seen Wish Bear in some more stuff, but I was only able to find a clip where she said one line. I'll probably watch some of the older stuff with her, but since there may have been personality changes through the years, it might not tell me what she's like in her current incarnation. Since I loved her all through the years because of that little figure I have, it's tempting to get that small plush of hers despite the issue with her foot. Maybe I could clean it; it wasn't anything real big, just aggravating that it was there at all.
Harmony Bear, however, is honestly still getting on my nerves, much moreso than on the first round. I think that, like with Rainbow Dash on My Little Pony, she's one character I probably never will really warm up to. Now my annoyance isn't just because of her doing something silly like speaking in song; she seems to have some of Rainbow Dash's worst traits, like her arrogance and rudeness. I saw one clip where I kind of liked her, where she was encouraging a girl to stand up to a bully, but there are some times where I like Rainbow Dash too, yet never enough to make her a favorite overall.
I think the order I like the main characters is this:
Grumpy (male)
Share (female)
Wonderheart (female)
Cheer (female)
Tenderheart (male)
Funshine (male)
Harmony (female)
Funshine, oddly enough, reminds me a bit of Mikey of the Turtles. He's a goof-off who seems to have a hard time being serious. Not a favorite character type of mine.
Wish Bear, Bedtime Bear, Good Luck Bear, and others seem to mostly be background or oneshot characters. So far I haven't got too much of a handle on their personalities, other than Bedtime Bear. Ladyamberjo reminded me about Good Luck Bear and then I started wondering about getting the plush of him, to celebrate my Celtic roots. Ireland is the one place I haven't been able to pinpoint a direct connection through my ancestors, though. But I assume that when I have Welsh, Scottish, and English blood, it's probably not a stretch to assume that there could also be some Irish blood in there somewhere?
Other background/minor characters I've seen are Secret Bear and Thanks A Lot Bear. I saw an amusing clip where Thanks and Share keep thanking each other. **snerk.** Birthday Bear was in another clip.... I remember him (?) from an old book I have. And Surprise Bear. Didn't really get a handle on their personalities either, though.
So the main plushies I'm considering now are the blue ones (including Wish, although she's more blue-green) and Good Luck Bear, but Share and Cheer are also possibilities. Harmony I might get sometime for aesthetic reasons, but I definitely wouldn't get her first.
