Nickelodeon Latin America Acquires 'Care Bears: Unlock the Magic' for Nick, Noggin

Content distributor and producer Spiral International (Etcétera Group) has announced a pan-regional agreement with Nickelodeon Latin America (Latinoamérica) for the animated series Care Bears: Unlock the Magic, which is now available on Noggin, Nickelodeon's award-winning interactive learning subscription service for preschoolers, and the linear Nickelodeon channel in the region.


The series, a new 2D-animated series inspired by the beloved Care Bears, features 48 x 11’ regular episodes, 2 x 22’ specials and 20 x 20” shorts designed to provide a special comedic focus on individual bears. Care Bears: Unlock the Magic follows its characters who throughout the series use their belly-badge powers to spread messages of sharing, caring, friendship and courage while making sure they have plenty of laughs along the way.

Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is a fresh, “retro-forward” take on the venerable brand that simultaneously invokes the most beloved elements of the very first 1980’s Care Bears TV series (e.g.: 2D animation, an adventure theme and iconic brand memes like the world famous “Care Bears Stare”) as well as all-new elements for a modern audience (more VFX, new comedic characters, more Care Bear powers and never-before seen fantasy environments).


Care Bears: Unlock the Magic follows the adventures of Good Luck Bear, Funshine Bear, Cheer Bear, Grumpy Bear, 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 Bear, 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.

Zasha Robles, CEO of Spiral International, said, "We are thrilled to bring back all of the classic 80s franchise's favourite characters, but this time in bright new adventures. Parents will be delighted that their children will grow up loving the same characters they loved as children. We couldn't be more excited to work with the entire team at Nickelodeon Latin America."

Tatiana Rodriguez, Senior Vice President and Brand Director, Kids & Families at Nickelodeon Latin America said, "The Care Bears franchise has been a fan favourite since its debut in 1981, so we are thrilled to have acquired Care Bears: Unlock the Magic for Nickelodeon and the Noggin audience in Latin America."


Jointly Commissioned by Turner (WarnerMedia) U.S. and Tiny Pop U.K., the series is produced by Cloudco Entertainment (formerly American Greetings Entertainment), the series was first released on the Boomerang streaming service on February 1, 2019 and premiered on the linear TV channel on March 30.

Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is the sixth series in the Care Bears franchise, following Care Bears and Cousins.
