2000's series[]
Journey to Joke-a-lot[]
The first CGI Care Bears movie begins with Wish Bear on the rainbow carousel for the upcoming Care Bear Fair. She and the Care Bears come by for a look; one of them, Funshine, loves telling jokes and making the other Care Bears laugh. After they reluctantly agree to try the carousel, it goes out of control and sends them into the sky before crashing down.
To make their own colorful carousel horses come to life with no poles, Wish Bear agrees that she and the Care Bears would put on their backpacks and sunglasses to ride back home to Care-a-Lot on their own colorful flying horses from their own carousel.
Big Wish Movie[]
The second CGI Care Bears movie begins with Wish Bear recounting how she came across Twinkers as a cub. Prior to him meeting Wish Bear, he lived with Big Wish and other starbuddies until he was knocked out of the sky. The others bears enjoy the story, but become wary when she starts using his powers for frivolous things. When the Caring Meter drops, Wish Bear suggests using Twinkers to help. When the others decline, she instead decides to wish for more bears that like to wish as much as she does, ushering in the arrival of Me Bear, Messy Bear, and Too Loud Bear. This only proves to be trouble for Twinkers, as his powers are nearly used up by the newcomers.
To save Twinkers, the bears go to Big Wish, a large guardian star in the sky, who restores his powers. Wish Bear agrees that she has learned her lesson, and they all go back to Care-a-Lot. The Care Bears' Big Wish Movie
