No Complete Series DVD?
Does anyone know if there will ever be a release of all the original 26 episodes in one package? I keep seeing them on Amazon in different themed sets with only a couple of eps on each disc.
shareGood news, JMTages! The complete series is available on DVD in two inexpensive three-disc sets. The ones you want are Playful Adventures and Sweet Adventures.
shareThanks, Brett!!! I'd already bought Playful Adventures on a lark this past Christmas. I'm now off to Amazon again so that I may grab Sweet Adventures as well! Thanks for the extremely valuable info and for helping me complete the series!!!
shareAfter receiving both DVD sets, I have to amend my statement. There are currently two problems with these sets.
First, it appears Sweet Adventures is currently being manufactured with an incorrect disc. Instead of Share Your Care, Bearied Treasure is included, a DVD that is supposed to be in Playful Adventures. We returned Sweet Adventures for this reason, and the replacement set has the same issue, so my wife will be communicating with the production company.
Second, even once we receive Share Your Care, we will have nineteen of the twenty-six episodes of this series, so it's still incomplete, missing seven episodes. This is made worse by the fact that the Bearied Treasure DVD has four episodes on it, two of which aren't even from Welcome to Care-A-Lot, being instead from the vastly inferior Adventures in Care-A-Lot series.
Still, if you're looking for more of this series, this is the only legitimate way I know of to get the episodes. I'm grateful to have most of them, but I want them all. My toddler adores this show like no other.
I found the other seven episodes! They're contained on two additional DVDs: Care Bears: The Great Giving Holiday and Care Bears: The Care-A-Thon Games. We can finally complete the collection once we get Share Your Care.
shareI purchased both The Great Giving Holiday and The Care-A-Thon Games for Christmas along with Share Your Care so I believe I now own the complete series as well!
It's unfortunate that these have been spread out over several different releases instead of one boxed set, but I much prefer this current version of the Care Bears rather than the more recent incarnation and I'm not even a huge CGI fan!
Thanks again for the indispensable information, Brett! I hope your family enjoys these with you as much as I have.
All the best to you!
