The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland is a 1987 Canadian-American animated fantasy film and the third theatrically released film in the Care Bears franchise. It was released in the United States and Canada on August 7, 1987, by Cineplex Odeon Films, and is based on Lewis Carroll's Alice stories. The fourth feature film made at Toronto's Nelvana studio, it was directed by staff member Raymond Jafelice and produced by the firm's founders (Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive A. Smith). It starred the voices of Keith Knight, Bob Dermer, Jim Henshaw, Tracey Moore and Elizabeth Hanna. In the film, the Care Bears must rescue the Princess of Wonderland from the Evil Wizard and his assistants, Dim and Dumb. After the White Rabbit shows them her photo, the Bears and Cousins search around the Earth for her before enlisting an unlikely replacement, an ordinary girl named Alice, to save her true look-alike. Venturing into Wonderland, the group encounters a host of strange characters, among them a rapping Cheshire Cat and the Jabberwocky.

Adventure in Wonderland was produced and self-financed by Nelvana, after a consortium of American companies helped them with the first two films. Animation was handled by Nelvana and Taiwan's Wang Film Productions. The film featured a musical score by Patricia Cullen along with songs by pop musicians John Sebastian and Natalie Cole. Upon its North American release, the film opened weakly to mixed reviews, and ended up with a $2.6 million gross; worldwide, it barely made back its $5 million cost. In the years since it opened, the film has received VHS release globally and a DVD release in various countries outside North America.
Screenplay
In Care-a-lot, the Care Bears are visited by the White Rabbit, the uncle of Swift Heart Rabbit. The White Rabbit gives the Care Bears the task of finding the missing Princess of Heart, who is to be crowned queen in Wonderland, otherwise the villainous Wizard of Wonderland will gain the throne. Tenderheart, Grumpy, Good Luck, Brave Heart, Lotsa Heart, Swift Heart and the White Rabbit search all over the world for the Princess, but to no avail. Grumpy is pointed to a girl who resembles the Princess, Alice. The Care Bears decide that Alice could act as the Princess until the real one is found. The group is separated by the power of the Wizard, forcing Grumpy, Swift Heart and the White Rabbit to use a rabbit hole to reach Wonderland.
In Wonderland, Tenderheart's group gain directions to Heart Palace from Officer Caterpillar. The Wizard sends his minions Dim and Dum to capture Alice using large battle robots, but the Care Bears defeat them with a Care Bear Stare. Grumpy's group reunite with the others as the Cheshire Cat appears, portrayed as a rap artist. The Cheshire Cat splits the group of two, directing Tenderheart, Lotsa Heart, Alice and the White Rabbit to Heart Palace, and Brave Heart, Grumpy, Good Luck and Swift Heart to look for the Mad Hatter, who knows where the Princess is. The Wizard captures Alice briefly and explains to her that when he rules he will make Wonderland less insane and more controlled. Alice flees and runs into the Queen of Hearts' throne room, where the Queen accepts Alice as her daughter whilst knowing she is not. Brave Heart's group locate the Mad Hatter who takes them to the lair of the Jabberwocky, where the Princess is. Grumpy rescues the princess, but the Jabberwocky gets a thorn in his foot which is removed by the Care Bears. In gratitude, the Jabberwocky (or "Stan" as he prefers to be called) decides to help them back to Heart Palace.
As the Princess' coronation day arrives, the Wizard decides to expose Alice's identity to the court via the Princess Test, to prove that she is not the princess. Alice climbs a mountain to retrieve some water from a spring, aided secretly by Tenderheart and Lotsa Heart; however, Alice gives the water to an injured unicorn. Angered by this, the Wizard demands that Alice make the flowers in the palace garden bloom magically. The princess secretly steps in and makes the flowers bloom. The Wizard, who had not been anticipating the Princess' return, suddenly exclaims he had her kidnapped, exposing his crime. The Care Bears, Alice, and the Wonderland characters confront the Wizard but the appearance of the Jabberwocky drives the villain insane, and he is arrested. The princess is crowned the new queen, and she helps Alice and the Care Bears return home.

A third feature film based on American Greetings' Care Bears characters was under development at Toronto's Nelvana studio as early as June 1986, a few months after the release of the second instalment, The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation. Nelvana had also begun production of a Care Bears television series set to air on the ABC network in the U.S., and Global in Canada. Whereas the other two were co-financed with U.S. companies, Nelvana raised its own money (US$5 million) for the new instalment, with assistance from Middlefield Entertainment Group. Production of Adventure in Wonderland, Nelvana's fourth animated feature, took place at the Toronto company's facilities; overseas work was handled by Taiwan's Wang Film Productions. Raymond Jafelice, the director, was previously involved in the original Care Bears Movie as a storyboard artist. Nelvana's founders—Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive A. Smith—were once again producers. Jack Chojnacki, the co-president of American Greetings' licensing division Those Characters from Cleveland, served as a creative consultant on this instalment; for the previous ones, he was an executive producer. In December 1986, Toronto actor Colin Fox recorded his lines for the film at the Nelvana studios.
North America
Cineplex Odeon Films, the distribution branch of Canadian cinema chain Cineplex Odeon Corporation, acquired the North American rights to The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland in February 1987. According to the Long Island newspaper Newsday, Cineplex Odeon chairman Garth Drabinsky "shrugged off as 'a favour to the Canadian producer.'" Tie-ins appeared at department stores as part of the film's promotion; also, costumed Care Bears spread the word at daycare centres, hospitals and parades, and through radio. Opening on August 7, 1987, Wonderland only grossed US$2,608,000 in the U.S. and Canadian domestic market, with US$1,000,000 in rentals; on its opening weekend, it grossed little more than US$1 million in 20th place on 1,094 screens. It was Cineplex Odeon's second-highest-grossing release as a distributor, alongside Sign o' the Times (which made only US$3 million). The film premiered on videocassette in December 1987, thanks to MCA Home Video, and reissued by GoodTimes Home Video in 1996; a U.S. LaserDisc release occurred on May 16, 1991. The film aired on premium cable's Disney Channel in August 1988; in Canada, television rights were held by the Family Channel. Although the first two Care Bears films have received DVD releases, a Region 1 DVD premiere has not yet occurred for the third one, although it did receive a DVD release in Australia.
Adventure in Wonderland only managed to break even with worldwide earnings of US$6,000,000, which led Nelvana co-founder Michael Hirsh to say, "It was just one sequel too many." The Bears would return for a television special, Care Bears Nutcracker Suite, which premiered on video and television in December 1988. They would no longer appear in animated features until 2004's Journey to Joke-a-lot. Their next theatrically released film, Oopsy Does It!, was screened in the U.S. in August 2007.
Overseas
As with the original Care Bears Movie, Adventure in Wonderland made an appearance at 1987's Cannes Film Festival. The film was released by Germany's Warner Bros. on November 27, 1987 as Bärchis Abenteuer im Wunderland. It sold 104,478 tickets and ranked 96th place among the year's releases in that market (excluding re-issues), and grossed approximately €403,000 (the equivalent of DM788,750, or US$570,000). The film was released on video by VCL/Virgin on March 22, 1988.
Adventure in Wonderland was released in the Netherlands on December 17, 1987, as Troetelbeertjes in Wonderland. Starting in March 1988, it was screened in matinees across the United Kingdom by Virgin Films, as part of an agreement with the local branch of 20th Century Fox. As late as 1992, distribution rights in France were held by NDP, who released it as Les Bisounours au pays des merveilles. In Spain, the film is entitled Los Osos Amorosos en el País de las Maravillas (among Castillan speakers) and Els Óssos Amorosos al país de les meravelles (among Catalan speakers). Elsewhere in Europe, it is known as As Aventuras dos Ursinhos Carinhosos (in Portugal), Krambjörnarna i Underlandet (in Sweden), and Troskliwe Misie w Krainie Czarów (in Poland).
In Australia, the film was released theatrically in December 1988, and on video in July 1989 by Virgin; it was airing on that country's Nine Network by February 1996. South African video rights were held by Ster Kinekor in 1989. On February 23 that same year, it was released in Mexico as Aventuras de Alicia e
