If we could climb over the nearest rainbow, go beyond the fluffiest clouds, and into the land of the sparkling stars, we would find ourselves in an enchanting place called Care-a-Lot. A world colored with soft pastel clouds and cheerful rainbows - a quiet space of warm feelings and gentle thoughts. It's the home of the Care Bears!
