80's Cartoons

Do you remember growing up in the 80's?

I do and remember that we had the best cartoons of any generation since, we had Thundercats, He-man, Bagpuss, Care Bears, Ulysses 31.....the list goes on, but what was good about them as they were well made, not thrown together like todays cartoons and the characters looked like people not like all these janenese imports we have today or by some kid that has scribbled a 2 minute sketch.

Below I have found some greet clips to bring back some good memories from mine and hopefully your childhood

Care Bears

The Care Bears are a set of characters created by American Greetings in 1981 for use on greeting cards. The original artwork for the cards was painted by artist Elena Kucharik. In 1983, Kenner took the characters and made the first in a line of very succesful teddy bears based of the Care Bears. Over 40 million units were sold between 1983 and 1987. Each Care Bear comes in a different color and with a specialized insignia on its belly: for example, "Bedtime Bear" is pastel blue and sports a sleepy-looking anthropromorphised crescent moon, and "Cheer Bear" is pink with a rainbow insignia. A spin-off collection toys, the Care Bear Cousins, feature stuffed monkeys, lions, and other such animals in the same style as the teddy bears. The Care Bears television series ran from 1985 to 1988; three animated feature film spinoffs, The Care Bears Movie (1985), The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation (1986), and The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland (1987) followed.
