The Care Bears was a 1985 animated TV series, produced by DiC Entertainment.
The 22 episodes were originally made to be 11 minutes long, but for syndication and DVD, they've been trimmed down to 10 minutes. For some international markets (such as France, Germany, Spain, and Italy), the 11-minute versions are used, but almost all DVD releases around the world now use the edited versions.
Status
The only English versions of the uncut episodes to have been released to DVD in the USA are "Lucky Charm" (found on the 2003 DVD of Bedtime Stories) and "Soap Box Derby" (found on the 2003 DVD of The Last Laugh). All other DVD releases of those two stories use the 10-minute edits.
Likewise, the DVD releases of the complete DiC series in France and Germany included the 11-minute versions (albeit sped-up to PAL format), but don't feature the English audio. At the time, it was unknown if the English versions of the missing scenes were released in any other format.
However, on January 10, 2023, supreamdragonball uploaded a compilation of mid-1980s UK recordings of 14 Care Bears episodes from the DiC series, thus uncovering further existence of the uncut versions, having aired in the UK.
