r/SmilingCritter

Rink0ree made fanarts of Catnap and Crafty with Kris and Noelle respectively and since Catnap's an antagonist and Crafty went Crazy in canon i said, why not

I like this 😍😍😍 do you like them

En resumen, el otro día decidí buscar una foto de Dogday y Catnap para usarla como foto de perfil, y al buscarla encontré lo que muestro en las imágenes.

Me gustaría saber si esto se considera correcto para subir a YouTube, una plataforma que usan muchos niños.

Quería comprobar si se trataba de un vídeo antiguo que ya había sido borrado o algo así, y al entrar en el canal me di cuenta de que no son los únicos, sino que hay muchos vídeos con estas portadas, aunque el contenido general del vídeo no tenga nada que ver.

No quiero exponer a nadie, solo quiero saber qué opinas al respecto.

Is it possible that Playtime Co. didn't actually invent the Smiling Critters from scratch? What if they secretly built their entire franchise around a captured, mind-wiped cartoon character?

The hidden history points to a very specific date: December 25, 1988. On that exact night, the original vintage retro bear animated series officially aired its final television broadcast. But while the rest of the world was celebrating Christmas, a dark corporate plot was beginning inside the factory.

The Secret Origin of Bobby Bearhug
Long before she became a member of the Smiling Critters, she was a pure, magical creature known as Hug-a-Lot Bear. During a violent storm on Christmas night, she became separated from the other Care Bears, fell through the sky, and crashed right through a glass skylight onto the cold industrial floor of the factory.
Instead of rescuing her, corporate executives saw a massive marketing opportunity. To completely hide her origins and claim her as company property before the 1989 launch deadline, they forcefully altered her:

The Erased Badge: They chemically stripped away her magical, glowing belly badge, leaving an empty white circle.

The Changed Fur: Her soft, pastel-colored fur was forcefully dyed into corporate crimson red.

The Locked Smile: Her jaw and facial expressions were permanently forced into an unhinged, wide grinning smile.

The Suppression Pendant: They snapped a heavy heart necklace around her throat to lock away her magic so she could never call her family for help.

Historical Proof: The Missing Red Bear
If you check the actual 1980s real-world toy lineup checklist, you will uncover an incredible piece of evidence: The original 1980s retro bear line completely lacked a true, primary crimson-red bear character.

The company couldn't just kidnap a famous character because consumers would notice the stolen identity immediately. Instead, they took advantage of a vacant color slot in the market. By taking an unreleased, forgotten red prototype and rebranding her as Bobby Bearhug in 1989, their corporate cover-up remained completely invisible to the public!

This explains why her factory programming constantly glitches out. It makes community trends like the popular "Who Care Bear?" comic dub shorts and the community fan song "I'm Not a Care Bear" feel so much darker. They aren't just creative parodies; they are subconscious echoes of her true identity breaking through!

It is the exact reason her cardboard cutout desperately repeats: "I'm lost without you... I've been lost a long time."

She isn't just lonely; her intense obsession with hugs is a broken trauma response. She is subconsciously mourning the life she lost in the storm on Christmas Night 1988.

Community Project Concept
This alternate universe concept has massive potential for fan projects. I would absolutely love to see a stylized fan-made VHS tape or analog horror video tracking this corporate transformation!

Please feel free to feature her or expand on this AU in your own community posts, fan art, or videos!

What do you guys think of this rebrand timeline history? Let's debate in the comments!

(1/?)

the au is called the alternate franchise au. its basically a what if scenario set in poppy playtimes universe were the catnap incident doesn't happen and the smiling critters become the main mascots of playtime co (which makes dogday playtime cos mickey). i have like an ENTIRE timeline worth of shows, movies, games and even locations.

PT-BR: E aí, pessoal! Decidi transformar alguns animais icônicos da fauna brasileira em personagens fofos misturando a estética de Ni Hao, Kai-Lan com o conceito de luvas, meias e pingentes dos Smiling Critters.

Aqui está o nosso time oficial:

• Lara LoboGuará (Lobo-Guará): Elegante e charmosa, com suas clássicas canelas pretas longas e um pingente do Sol do Cerrado.
• Lucas ChocoLobo (Meu OC): Um lobinho aconchegante em tons de chocolate ao leite e meio amargo, com um pingente de barra de chocolate mordida com a letra "L".
• Capanema SemCarrapato (Capivara): Super relaxada e limpinha, com um pingente verde de folha de capim de três pontas.
• João PapaFormigão (Tamanduá-Bandeira): Muito carismático com seu focinho longo virado de lado, cauda imensa e um pingente de formiguinha dourada.

Hey everyone! I decided to transform some iconic animals from the Brazilian fauna into cute characters, mixing the Ni Hao, Kai-Lan art style with the "gloves, socks, and pendants" concept from Smiling Critters.

Here is our official roster:

• João PapaFormigão (Giant Anteater): Very charismatic with his long snout turned sideways, a huge fluffy tail, and a golden ant pendant.

Depois do sucesso do time brasileiro, terminei a arte oficial do Team Chilean Critters! Consegui misturar a fauna e os conceitos do Chile com o traço fofo de Ni Hao, Kai-Lan e a estética de pingentes e patinhas marcadas dos Smiling Critters.

Vejam como ficou o nosso elenco chileno:

• Lucas GatitoSantander (Gatinho de Praia): O gatinho charmoso que adora ir à praia e conhecer as meninas, usando um pingente exclusivo de moeda de ouro com óculos de sol.
• RamoncitoNocturno (Monito del Monte): O marsupial da madrugada, com olhos gigantes, uma máscara estilo guaxinim, cauda em espiral e pingente de lua crescente.
• PaollaPatagonya (Pudú): A menorzinha e mais dócil do grupo, desenhada em 4 patas (estilo o elefante Stompy) com seu rabinho de pompom e pingente de floco de neve.
• TrackerOffRoad (Huemul): O cervo andino aventureiro e forte, também em 4 patas, com chifres em formato de "V", rabinho triangular e o pingente de bússola com a agulha apontada para cima!

What do you think of this team? Who is your favorite Chilean character?

Found this on yt a week back

There is a comic i think you should check out, it’s really similar to the smiling critter mix with tadc.

The comic is on hiatus right now and soon they will have a 2th kickstarter for it.

I think smiling critter fans would really like this series.

So if you like smiling critters you would love this comic.
