I think this was pretty popular in Germany

Finland as well. There's a lot of fans.

Wait, what?

What? I gotta watch this!

Precisely that. First I've heard of it, and now I must, uh, research my heritage.

Damn when I was a kid I always thought it was a spin-off series.

"We're already canceled, so let's do whatever we want."

But is it cannon?
I like to think it is.

I keep discovering things from the 80s kid me would have loved but I never knew existed until my late 40s.

Flashes of 90's X-Men after they shipped production to a tiny Filipino studio. Weird shit.

Probably. Weirder stuff has happened in Star Trek.

I had no idea these were Canadian

It's like one of the later seasons of The Smufs where they got stuck in a Quantum Leap type situation where they traveled through time or some shit. They were low on ideas after a while.

Low budget??? They paid my buddy Gord a two-fer and a sandwich for each episodes I’ll tell you that!

Germany changed the dubbing on TOS to make it more.. comedic? I wonder if they did the same thing with this lol.

It was pretty popular in the US too.

Somewhat popular in Brazil

That wasn’t a Mandela effect!?!?

Mr. Grumpy!

Ah lawd, not handsome Beast.

All the best SciFi comes out of Canada.

Care Bears Star Trek episodes.

They aren't, according to the wiki page.

Care Bears are multi-colored bears, painted in 1981 by (American) artist Elena Kucharik to be used on greeting cards from American Greetings.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Care_Bears

The animated series, however, was produced by Nelvana, a Canadian animation studio.

Ah that's where the Canadian part comes in. Good catch. "The Care Bears" animated series was American, the later "Care Bear Family" series was Canadian.

The Care Bears Family is a Canadian animated television series produced by Nelvana and C.B.I.S. Productions based on the American franchise of the same name, and is the successor series to the American animated series produced by DIC Entertainment

Please don't let my wife see this picture

Unfortunately the Care Bears didn't think to take a barber with them on their interstellar voyage, and as a consequence their coats got pretty long. You can catch up with what happened to them in TOS S02E15.

I was a kid in this era, saw some of these episodes, and thought nothing of it.

After all, the Muppet Babies were doing Star Wars….

Also Star Trek.

I have a direct answer to that question! The oral history on how the Care Bears made a Star Trek parody can be found in a recent video by Allison Pregler: https://youtu.be/t_pYuglkn84

Absolutely not.

This is cannon:

Wait! How'd they wrangle that? They...oh wait it's parody.

Muppet Babies would occasionally use actual Star Trek and Indiana Jones footage, they could get the rights because 20th Century Fox. I doubt Paramount let them use actual TNG footage.

I'm gonna tell my kids this was Star Trek The Animated Series

Engram never found the engram!

No way, I just recently watched an Allison Pregler video about that! (Invidious)

What a wild ride!

I wore Braveheart-inspired facepaint for a football game once as a kid when I lived in Germany, except it was yellow instead of blue to match my team color.

Another player asked what/who I was supposed to look like, and I said "Braveheart", but obviously this 11yo girl had not seen Braveheart- the only Brave Heart she knew was from the Care Bears

I got made fun of a lot that day lol

Bam boom

There's nothing wrong with letting your inner child enjoy it!

Fascinating

Ireland too. I loved the Care Bears as a young kid. From memory, it was on just before The Getalong Gang in Ireland

AND an intro where they're waking up from a nap but it's interspliced with the scene from Aliens where the Colonial Marines are waking up from hyper sleep on the Sulaco

Say what you want, but I liked the Bobby's World parody. The only thing I remember about it was he was the captain of the Boobyprise

I'm not subbed to this community but you guys always have the best posts lol

It fills me with the same sort of glee as whenever an Ich_iel post hits the front page

What was the german name? Herzbären?

Edit: ah found it. Glücksbärchis

"Beast's head is too big for his body. We either need to make his head smaller, or his body bigger. Y'know what? Let's play it safe and do both."

I don't remember, but that carebears starship is too damn familiar.

The Trekkies on here are a great group for sure.

join us...

There is way too much lore to catch up on...
