Saturday Morning Cartoons United is taking up the charge in celebrating the world of nostalgic childhood television and film to bring people of Los Angeles together and help creatives affected by the wildfires earlier this year. The nonprofit organization and the American Cinematheque recently presented The Care Bears Movie , toasting its 40th anniversary and kicking off a monthly screening series to support fundraising efforts.

At the event, the 1985 film’s director, Arna Selznick (who also worked on the Star Wars: Ewoks and Droids series), and Care Bears fan Eric Bauza ( Looney Tunes ), the current voice of Bugs Bunny who works closely with SMCU championing animation history, were on hand for a Q&A with Care Bears fans young and young at heart.
