Captivating movie !

Brilliant and touching

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

For the longest time, I really liked the second Care Bears movie. But this year, I've viewed this movie and I changed my mind, as I started to really like this movie better. For one thing, the animation is fantastic as the animation for the prequel is utterly mediocre since there were lots of animation errors that were rarely present on theatrical cartoons, more common on the Saturday morning cartoons, though. Another thing, there's not much evil forces on this movie like you see on the infamous successor, which makes me wonder if it didn't give children nightmares as hearing the malevolent Dark Heart's pure evil voice as well as seeing his glowing pierced red eyes in that one sequence. This is really the better Care Bears movie for your kids.

It's obviously aimed at kids, but the songs and singing are superb. Carole King performs a couple of them.The exception is the child who voices "Jason", who is completely out of tune (Home is in Your Heart), but this actually adds to my enjoyment. This was the pre-Autotune era, after all.The plot is no worse than the average Disney movie, and in some ways better since Disney tends to feel clichéd these days. The Evil Spirit is wonderful, and actually gets to do a bit of evil before being vanquished by the bears.I never had a Care Bear as a kid and never wanted one, but I always loved this movie. I still love it as an adult. The only thing that turns my stomach is the last line: "Care for me, Mrs Cherrywood. Just care for me" which frankly makes me retch. But up until that point, it's great.I highly recommend it, even just to play in the background while you're doing something else. It's a happy place.

I was a massive fan of this movie as a child, and a VHS copy of it has graced our living room shelf as long as I can remember. I definitely plan to add a DVD copy to my collection when I have kids.. it's cheerful brand of moral teachings is something that kids these days seem to be missing out on.. the new episodes and movies just aren't as good! I actually pulled my copy out the other day when I was sorting through my childhood videos and books... and watched it. I've always been a great lover of Nelvana animations, but to my horror, I found an error! When the evil spirit is attacking Kim and Jason at the bottom of the cliff, and friend and secret bear are using the stare to hold him off... the others stare from around the corner on the boat, and as the boat comes into view, who should be at the helm of the boat? why Tenderheart should! but he isn't... friend bear is! despite not even being on the boat, but on the cliff face with secret bear. Major oops! I was amazed I'd never noticed it before.

The Care Bears Movie is fun for many Children. You have to look for Theatrically released motion pictures for young people to find People living in harmony with no fear. To my real Daughter God Yahweh Apophis Julia Ar Morgan thank you for saving your Daddy and original form sister Julia and North America. Try not to feel too bad, the Israelis have a saying en brera that means something like no choice. There have been many paradoxes on Earth such as Soviet Premier Stalin enjoying learning Western Cowboy movie English, A resigned President Nixon traveling to China as an American representative, the faking of the death of Chinese Canadian Doctor Bethune. The many clones that live in America, Russia and China, Soviet Chess Grandmaster Kasparov liking sports cars. When you are famous and or powerful you can pretty well do what you like. I shall always miss not travelling to Europe. Julia I will try to write you at least once every month. You are a wonderful Young Lady and a real Windsor Royal Family Princess of England. Even if there were 998 people in England I would still call the nation England. Some people say that America has a Junta. As American Shadow Vice President we Americans did have to spread the leaders around geographically to protect ourselves from attack. I do love the American Russian and Chinese Children of the world and that is why I want Humanity to remain as dignified as possible. The real Russian Tsar has taught me about dignity and Human decency. The Chinese cities look very modern and I am interested in a peaceful way in their Television Satellites since I have never seen a diagram of one living here in North America and having given a lecture on Satellite Technology in Air Cadets. Princess Julia since you and I are eternal in the Moonfleet you will always be in the thoughts and prayers of my Deoxyribo nucleic Acid selves. May God bless Humanity.
