Throughout the movie, he presides Care-a-lot's steering committee by showing how low the Caring Meter has been, and declares a Caring Month where everyone must Care more than usual.
Later, he alongside the other residents of Care-a-Lot welcome their new neighbors, Me Bear, Messy Bear, and Too Loud Bear to the community. Later in the film, when the new bears abuse the power of Wish Bear's wishing star Twinkers, their greed eventually becomes too severe and Care-a-Lot begins to fall apart at the seams. It is up to Champ and the other Care Bears, to rebuild it in the aftermath.
