Carebear Rainbow coloured and cuddly, with names like Funshine and Tenderheart, these were the height of cute.
Its four original members were Rob plus Mouse, Flexy and
Carebear.
The basic criteria in primary school seemed to be whoever liked the same spot in the playground as me - it was a covered-in drain or a magic portal that took you to
Carebear land.
Accompanying parents may be stifling a yawn or two because there's little to hold their attention, and the
Carebear cutesiness gets a little sticky at times.
There's also the tearjerker Fluke and the hilarious
Carebear Movie.
"Pero kapag deadmabels ka na o
carebears ka na sa buhay niya, that means naubos na 'yung love."
