Josh Greenbaum Set to Direct CARE BEARS Movie For Warner Bros. — GeekTyrant
Director Josh Greenbaum is a busy guy - following the award-winning run of his documentary Will & Harper , he has been tapped to helm a new Spaceballs sequel, and now he has signed on to direct a new Care Bears film for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Good Fear's Chris Bender and Jake Weiner will produce alongside GoldDay's Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. Sean Gorman and Daniel Barnes from rightsholder Cloudco will exec produce, with Sheila Walcott overseeing for Warner Bros.
The project doesn't yet have a writer yet, so we are in the dark considering storyline, but most of us are at least familiar with the Care Bear characters from our youth.
Care Bears has an interesting origin story, as the franchise was built around greeting card characters popularized in the 1980s by American Greetings (now Cloudco Entertainment). Each bear had a distinct color and 'belly badge' that symbolized their personality and duty — with names like Tenderheart Bear, Cheer Bear, and Grumpy Bear — the idea being to personify different emotions and positive traits to help children express their feelings and foster empathy.
The popularity of the cards led to the creation of a toy line, which then spurred animated TV specials and, eventually, a TV series. The original Care Bears cartoon aired from 1985 to 1988 and was followed by three theatrical films spanning the mid-to-late 1980s. Over the decades, the franchise has undergone several revivals. New iterations of the Care Bears TV series were released in the 2000s, 2010s, and most recently with Care Bears: Unlock the Magic , which launched in 2019.

Cynthia Erivo Brought It Home at the 2025 Tony Awards—Plus, More of the Night's Highlights
There are no ifs, ands, or maybes about it—Sunday, June 8, was a happy ending for the Broadway community. After a two-year hiatus, the annual Tony Awards returned home to Radio Music Hall, the venue it had called home for 20 shows prior, and it really did feel like a homecoming. And while I presume that each Tonys Sunday—when producers, actors, directors, writers and friends of the industry come together to celebrate the Broadway season—is a pretty joyful affair, there was something about this year that felt special. Perhaps because of the recent announcement that this was Broadway's highest-grossing season in history, or because we find ourselves in a moment when our communities need live art and creativity more than ever before. Regardless, the main takeaway of the night for those who experienced it in person was that it was one to remember. Here are some of the moments—heart-wrenching, skipping, and warming—that will cement this year's Tonys as one of the greats. The festive pre-show Photo:The show airs live on CBS and Paramount+ from 8 p.m. sharp, but a handful of awards are announced in a pre-show broadcast, this year co-hosted by Darren Criss (Maybe Happy Ending) and Renée Elise Goldsberry (Hamilton). As many of the night's winners explained in their acceptance speeches, it takes a village to make theater happen. Unfortunately, keeping an audience's attention long enough to fit all of the villagers' awards into a single ceremony is a big ask, even of die-heart theater people. So, cue The Tonys: Act One, announcing the winners for best choreography, musical score, lighting design, and more. The first standing ovation of the night went to Gary Edwin Robinson, winner of the Excellence in Theatre Education Award, for his work on the Theatre Arts Program at Boys and Girls High School in Brooklyn. 'I told you I was going to the Tony Awards one day!' Robinson exclaimed to his family as he wielded his award. Partners in life and choreography, Buena Vista Social Club duo Justin Peck and Patricia Delgado took home the Tony for best choreography. Upon accepting the award, Delgado revealed that she and Peck had actually danced to a Buena Vista Social Club song at their wedding—which the audience couldn't help but give a big 'aww.'

Creed's Massive Single Returns — And Becomes A Surprise Dance Win In The Process
The song 'One Last Breath' helped Creed rise to the next level decades ago, when it first became a worldwide hit. Many years later, the track remains one of the rock band's most familiar, and these days, it seems like it may have even outpaced every other entry in its discography as perhaps its most successful — or at least its longest-charting. The tune returns to multiple Billboard charts this week and also debuts on several other rankings that Creed is largely unfamiliar with in another form, thanks to an inventive reworking. 'One Last Breath' currently appears on a trio of Billboard charts in the United States, after living on just one of them a few days ago, as it has become both a top streamer and a bestseller once more. Creed's cut breaks back into the top 10 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, reentering at No. 9. At the same time, it lands in last place on the Alternative Streaming Songs chart, at No. 25, after not quite performing well enough just a few days ago to appear on Billboard's ranking of the most played alternative cuts on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. The same Creed smash can also be found once again on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. In that case, it doesn't need to return. Instead, it almost recaptures the throne, pushing from No. 6 to No. 2 and coming within striking distance of the top spot, where it has already spent some time. 'One Last Breath' may be surging in popularity again thanks to a remix — or perhaps it's a cover — that has become a hit on some Billboard lists that are largely foreign to Creed. The production act ATLiens debuts its remix of 'One Last Breath' on both the Dance Digital Song Sales and Hot Dance/Electronic Songs charts this week. The tune, which doesn't actually credit Creed at all, is essentially just a dancified reworking of the early rock win. The inventive tune opens in the runner-up space on the purchase-only tally, behind 'Abracadabra' by Lady Gaga, which surges back to No. 1. At the same time, it starts at No. 17 on the all-encompassing list of the most consumed dance and electronic tracks throughout the U.S.
