The Care Bears were first introduced in 1982 through consumer products, greeting cards and later a series of animated television shows and feature films. As the Care Bears embark on new adventures, from Care-a-Lot to the Silver Lining, they never shy away from their core values and invite their viewers and fans to join them in spreading sharing, caring, love, friendship and togetherness. 

To celebrate the Care Bears’ 40th Anniversary, JimmyPaul in conjunction with Difuzed, created a bright, colorful, body-hugging, mini-tule dress inspired by the original illustrations, which pay homage to the Care Bears paintings by Elena Kucharik. The Care Bears express their story in a gigantic rainbow-colored, heart-shaped cloud filled with love, fun, friendship and a touch of whimsy.
