Grams Bear and the cubs in Care-a-Lot. Meanwhile, Nicholas is informed of Kim and Jason and the Care Bears and summons a cloud-like evil demon to capture them. Within the Forest, the Bears and children are introduced to Brave Heart Lion and Playful Heart Monkey, two of the Care Bear Cousins. Later on, the other Bears aboard their ship discover more of the Cousins, among them Cozy Heart Penguin, Lotsa Heart Elephant, Swift Heart Rabbit, and Bright Heart Raccoon. During their stay, the demon attacks them in several disguises: a fish, tree, and eagle. After the Care Bears and their Cousins defeat it, they venture back to Earth to save Nicholas.
