Care Bears Care About the Environment[]
Around 1991, Love-a-Lot Bear and several other Care Bears received temporary redesigns in both artwork and plush form in order to bring about environmental awareness. Despite appearing in several books and even stickers, this new line was relatively short-lived due to a lack of popularity and low sales.
Love-a-Lot Bear's appearance for this series featured her with darker pink fur with a much more complex heart tummy symbol that depicted her typical two hearts with the addition of a rainbow and a field.
Journey to Joke-a-Lot and The Care Bears Big Wish Movie[]

In Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, Love-a-Lot Bear is one of the supporting characters. In addition to being redesigned to appear youthful and slightly anime-like, her personal touch is a wavy ponytail held in place by heart-shaped barrettes, and has a purple scarf. Her belly badge also lacks the pink and yellow outlines.
She works in the Smart Heart Library, where the other Bears go if they have questions or if they need quiet time.
She is one of the main characters in Present and Accounted For, where Care-a-Lot is celebrating her birthday, and Cheer plans a big gift-basket surprise for Love-a-Lot, but when the gifts get stolen by UR-2 and Sergeant Rocketbottom, the two bears end up jumping to conclusions (Love-a-lot thinks Cheer forgot her birthday, Cheer thinks Love-a-lot didn't thank her for the present), and causing a big problem.
In this series, She punctuates everything with the word "love" or a variation of such.
Welcome to Care-a-Lot/Care Bears & Cousins[]
Love-a-Lot makes minor roles in Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot.

In addition to reverting to her 2002 appearance, Love-a-lot's belly badge regains the pink and yellow outlines, and the hearts are slightly bigger and fatter.
In this incarnation, Love-a-lot speaks with a Cajun Louisiana accent.

In Care Bears: Unlock the Magic, Love-a-Lot is a minor character, being one of the few Bears to stay in Care-a-Lot on Caring Control.
She is the main character in the episode "Festival of Hearts", where she travels to the Silver Lining to send her magical gifts to the bears in the Silver Lining.
In this incarnation, Love-a-lot's fur is slightly darker and duller, and is redesigned to look more animesque. She has heart-shaped blush stickers, and her belly badge is radically redesigned; the hearts are now leaning apart from each other like in the 1980s, and have smiling faces on them.
