Los Angeles, CA – In a bear-y scary twist that bridges the whimsical world of Care-A-Lot with the chilling universe of Universal Monsters, Cloudco Entertainment and Universal Products & Experiences are thrilled to unveil a unique collaboration that merges the loveable, huggable Care Bears with iconic legends of horror.
