Like most kids I watched every toon in the 80's. I enjoyed unique characters, the simple stories and fuzzy feeling of this series. It didn't appeal to me like the action series in the time. Unlike for example Transformers I've never seen a Care Bears rerun until last month.
One morning I stumbled on the series opening just having heard the theme song again recently I decided to watch for old time sake. The episode goes like this: It was the annual holiday or something cause a selected group of bears where to compete in a marathon. Some sort of villain, can't recall who exactly tried to sabotage the race and eventually the slowest, Lotsa Heart Elephant, won from the fasted Care Bear, Swift Heart Rabbit.
It still holds up today. Actually I had to check the credits to make sure it was the 80's series and not some 21th century remake.
