* CareBearStare: Naturally.

* CluelessAesop: "Welcome to Grump-a-Lot" had a [[AnAesop stated lesson]] about controlling your emotions when you get frustrated, conveniently ignoring that the only reason why Grumpy was so frustrated in the first place was that the others were acting like inconsiderate jerks towards him, ignoring his wish for privacy and refusing to leave him alone until he seriously lost his temper with them.

* AntiHero/AntiVillaim: Beastly, depending on the episode.

* AntiHero: Beastly.

* ForcedMeme: Trying to capitalize on the success of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', somebody in PR came up with [[http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/the-hub-hopes-men-will-start-calling-themselves-belly-bros-and-care-dudes.html nicknames for the potential periphery demographic]], "Belly Bros" and "Care Dudes." Unsurprisingly, The Hub [[http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/the-hub-no-longer-encourages-%e2%80%9cbelly-bros%e2%80%9d-and-%e2%80%9ccare-dudes%e2%80%9d.html immediately backpedaled on this]]. It didn't appear to affect the chances of ''Welcome to Care-a-lot'' gaining a PeripheryDemographic as reports came in that the premiere of the show, along with ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaijudo}}'', delivered some of the network's best ratings to date in all demographic areas.

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Rainbows have pretty much always had power in the ''Care Bears'' franchise, but in this series their power seems to have been turned UpToEleven with rainbow rays and more. There's also a "Let's Make a Rainbow" song that has been used more than once. Official and full version can be viewed [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4jQ6i57SS8 here]].

The series only lasted one season and after about a year with no new episodes, it was clear nothing new was in production. Hasbro's mismanagement of the Hub Network effectively doomed the series, and in September 2014, it was announced that the network would become Creator/DiscoveryFamily. This was soon followed by an [[http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/10/13/netflix-care-bears/ announcement]] that a new ''Care Bears'' series would be brought to Creator/{{Netflix}}, one featuring the Care Bear Cousins for the first time since the franchise was revived in 2000.

'''''Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot''''' is a CGI-animated series airing on Creator/TheHub based on the highly popular Franchise/CareBears franchise. The series premiered on June 2, 2012 and has been ordered for 26 episodes. The series follows in the vein of the previous ''Care Bears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot'' by featuring both episodes in which the Care Bears must help out real kids, but also includes those focusing solely on the bears themselves. The previously introduced character of Oopsy Bear has been eliminated, as well as the villain Grizzle and his robotic minions. The series instead features Beastly, a villainous minion from the 80s series, though he has become much more of a comic mischief-maker, accompanied by two little "Beasties." The series also restores Tenderheart Bear as the leader of the characters, and introduces a new young girl bear named Wonderheart Bear, Tenderheart's niece, a ConstantlyCurious bear who doesn't quite know what her belly badge does, though she's trying hard to learn. New episodes currently air on Saturday mornings on The Hub and repeats are seen throughout the week. Episodes are presented in widescreen HD where available. Recent episodes can also viewed at The Hub's official website.

* TakenALevelInJerkass: In the BellyBadge-Bouts competition the Team "Bear-A-Lots" consists of Love-A-Lot Bear, GoodLuck Bear, Wish Bear and Laugh-a-lot bear. In which in that episode they are extremely competitive to the point of verbally abusing the other team. Not something you'd expect from Love-A-Lot bear. Not to mention the Carebears in general have become more "Human" this time around, in which when they get pissed off they let the audience know it. (As opposed to their lovedovey pureness in earlier shows)

!'''''Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot''''' includes examples of:

* YouMeanXMas: Great Giving Day

* CluelessAesop: "Welcome to Grump-a-Lot" had a stated Aesop about controlling your emotions when you get frustrated, conveniently ignoring that the only reason why Grumpy was so frustrated in the first place was that the others were acting like inconsiderate jerks towards him, ignoring his wish for privacy and refusing to leave him alone until he seriously lost his temper with them.

* YouGetMeCoffee: In "Cub Bouts," when Wonderheart agrees to help Hugs & Tugs because their friend came down with bearcitis, they ask her to get them food, feeling that she can't do anything else for them because she doesn't have her belly badge powers yet. This becomes the catalyst for the rest of the episode, because Wonderheart is determined to do more than this.

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Rainbows have pretty much always had power in the ''Care Bears'' franchise, but in this series their power seems to have been turned UpToEleven with rainbow rays and more.
