2008 marks the 25th year of Care Bears! (even though the 25th Anniversary Bears were released in 2007)

This is where you will find all the information about the 25th Anniversary and the Adventures in Care A Lot style bears. Adventures in Care A Lot is often referred to as AiCaL.

The biggest change in the Care Bears is not their newest look, which closely resembles the Nelvana style of the 80s. It is that they no longer have 'tummy symbols' - they are now sporting 'belly badges.'

In the end of 2006, the Care Bears were becoming destined to receive yet another make-over. The summer of 2007 brought about Bears with "more personality." The mass-market Care Bears are now sporting hair bows, pony tails, caps and other accessories. Along with this most recent make-over came a new CGI movie, Oopsy Does It, and a new cartoon series, Adventures in Care A Lot.

Like the past lines, there are Special Edition Bears featuring various fur colors like Tie-Dye and Glowing Bears. And to mark the 25th Anniversary, there is a seperate line of Bears done in the Floppy Style with Silver Accents to celebrate the "Silver Anniversary."
