Care Bears and Cousins

Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is an animated children's television series and the sixth television series based on the Care Bears franchise, following Care Bears and Cousins.

The series follows the adventures of Good Luck, Funshine, Cheer, Grumpy, and Share Bear as they go on a mission to protect the land of the Silver Lining. The series premiered on Boomerang's streaming service on February 1, 2019, the television channel on March 30, 2019, and on Cartoon Network on April 16, 2019. On May 20, 2022, it was announced six new specials were ordered and will air on Cartoonito and Max, where it had been airing since 2021.

Plot

Care Bears: Unlock the Magic follows the adventures of good friends Good Luck, Funshine, Cheer, Grumpy, and Share Bear, as they embark from their life in Care-A-Lot on a new adventure through the Silver Lining, a strange world neighbored by the Whiffles, who are a group of innocently happy creatures that plant seeds to keep the magical land of Care-A-Lot and the neighboring Silver Lining growing. The Care Bears spread caring and sharing throughout the land as they learn to rely on their friendship, courage, and use a bit of their belly badge power.

However, the ego-driven nemesis of the Care Bears, Bluster and his Bad Crowd, try to stop them from succeeding at their mission, as his goal is to turn the Silver Lining into Blusterland. The Care Bears also retrieve help through the Caring Tower from their friends Bedtime, Tenderheart, and Wish Bear. Dibble the Whiffle accompanies the Care Bears along the way.

The Care Bears are sent on the road for the first time in this series, as they explore wonderful and never-before-seen areas that surround Care-A-Lot called the Silver Lining. Due to this, they meet new creatures and employ their powers and wits.

Characters

Main

• Cheer Bear (voiced by Debi Derryberry, under the pseudonym Alex Hall) is the leader of the group and the pilot of the Cloudseeker. She is a positive go-getter and is always up for a challenge.
• Grumpy Bear (voiced by Nick Shakoour in the TV series, and Justin Michael in the specials) is the team mechanic and resident worrywart. He is flippant and smart-alecky, but deep inside is a kind-hearted Care Bear who is tone deaf to his own words.
• Funshine Bear (voiced by Justin Michael) is the co-pilot of the Cloudseeker. He is blindly optimistic.
• Share Bear (voiced by Brenna Larsen) is the team communicator. She talks to animals, loves to bake, and also loves connecting with everyone.
• Good Luck Bear (voiced by Patrick Pedraza) is the mission's navigator. He tackles every task with determination and is determined to succeed by himself with no luck involved.
• Dibble (voiced by Brenna Larsen) is the team's pet and companion. She communicates through limited words, coos, and sounds. While it is difficult to understand what she is saying, it is apparent what she is feeling. She is as eager as a puppy and curious as a kitten.

The Bad Crowd

The Bad Crowd consists of many members, although only four are named. They are led by Bluster to plant the Bad Seeds, and are junior league yes-men toadying up to Bluster and his plans to expand Blusterland.

• Bluster (voiced by Jason LaShea), the ego-driven, annoying, narcissistic leader of the Bad Crowd and the main antagonist of the series. He is an adolescent prankster and irredeemably mischievous. His plan is to change the Silver Lining into a land of his own, Blusterland.
• Robbie (Voiced by Debi Derryberry, under the pseudonym Alex Hall), is Bluster's assistant.
• Malcom (voiced by Justin Michael), a member of the Bad Crowd who dreams of taking over Bluster as the leader.
• Bob (no one is voiced him), a big 1-eyed Bad Crowd member. He appeared in "The Beginning", "Nobody's Perfect", "Mixed Signals", "The Grumpy Effect", and "Neon Beach Party".

Recurring

• Tenderheart Bear (voiced by Nick Shakoour in the TV series and Jason LaShea in the specials) is the anchor. He supports the crew from afar through the Caring Tower. He is kind, wise, and fatherly.
• Wish Bear (voiced by Valarie Rae Miller) is the mission's "mom". She is practical, supportive, and full of wisdom.
• Bedtime Bear (voiced by Harry Chaskin) is the night watch. He is a night owl who loves to read books, and is the enthusiastic scholar and the team's "search engine".
• The Whiffles (Voiced by Brenna Larsen and Patrick Pedraza), magical creatures who serve the Silver Lining by planting Seeds of Caring. Dibble is one of these creatures.

Semi-recurring

• Love-a-Lot Bear (voiced by Debi Derryberry, under the pseudonym Alex Hall), a member of the Care Bears.
• Harmony Bear, another member of the Care Bears.
• Gus and Garth (voiced by Justin Michael and Harry Chaskin respectively), two gnomes who used to be greedy and hogged things, but learned to be nice and share things together, much to their uncle's dismay.
• Plunk (voiced by Harry Chaskin) a former member of the Bad Crowd who was kicked out of the group by Bluster for being too nice, and now wants to do as much good as possible.
• Togetherness Bear (voiced by Valarie Rae Miller), a new member of the Care Bears. She first appeared in the Unlock the Music video "Togetherness" and debuted in the special The Quest for the Rainbow Stone.
• No Heart (voiced by Justin Michael), an old foe of the Care Bears from the past and the overarching antagonist of the series. He will appear in the special The No Heart Games as the main antagonist.
• Do-Your-Best Bear, another member of the Care Bears who makes a cameo in the special The Quest for the Rainbow Stone.
