Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation

I loved this movie when I was a kid. My stuffed Love-a-Lot Bear was my most prized possession. And when I recently found the movie in my storage room and watched it again, I found that I still loved it! In today's world of kid's toys/movies/TV shows filled with violence and fighting, it's nice to again see the Care Bears, who fight evil with nothing but the power of love and caring. The movie itself has a strong plot-line, and catchy songs which my friends and I (we watched the movie at a party I had, to reminisce of our childhood) STILL find stuck in our heads. And best of all, the characters are well developed, but not so over developed that little kids (the movie's target audience) can't understand and love them. Watching it when older, I also picked up on many subtle points buried in the plot which suggest a deeper meaning. The movie is great fun for kids and adults who want to lose their age for a while!!!

I grew up on this movie and I can remember when my brother and I used to play in the backyard and pretend we were in Care-a-lot. Now, after so many years have passed, I get to watch the movie with my daughter and watch her enjoy it. If you are parent and you have not watched this movie with your children, then you should, just so you hold them in your arms and watch them get thrilled over the care bears and care-a-lot! The songs, especially "Forever Young" are very sweet and memorable. Parents, I highly recommend this movie for all kids so they can learn how enjoyable caring for others can be! When it comes down to all the trash that is on TV, you can raise your children to have the right frame of mind about life with movies like these.

Origins of the Care Bears & their Cousins. If you saw the original film you'll notice a discrepancy. The Cousins are raised with the Care Bears, rather than meeting them later. However I have no problems with that, preferring to treat the films as separate interpretations. The babies are adorable and it's fun watching them play and grow. My favourite is Swift Heart Rabbit. The villain is a delightfully menacing shapeshifter. I could empathise with the three children since I was never good at sports either. Cree Summer is excellent as Christy. The songs are sweet and memorable. If you have an open heart, love the toys or enjoyed the original, this is not to be missed. 9/10

This cartoon was strange, but the story actually had a little more depth and emotion to it than other cartoon movies. We have a girl at a camp with low self esteem and hardly any other friends, except a brother and sister who are just a miserable as she is. She reaches the ultimate low point and when the opportunity arises she literally makes a pact with a devil-like demon. I found this film to be very true to life and just when things couldn't be worse, the girl sees what she's done, she feels remorse and then changes and then she helps this dark, mystical creature learn the human quality of love. The twins improve too, by helping the little bears and then they get a sense of self worth too. A very positive message for children, though some elements of the film was strange, it was and still is a rather enjoyable film. The music from Stephen Bishop (Tootsie songs) made the film even better

This installment of the care bear movies. Is i think the best if you actually want to know how these characters began. Many people may find this storyline contradictive if you have seen the first movie. But that is the point such as the name second generation. I think this out classes the first movie in several ways. It shows characters in a way that reflects well on the T.V series but it also shows a beginning for example you can't just have turned up in care a lot. Ther story begins when the care bears ship is attacked by an evil being named dark heart but they are saved.

Recognised for their deeds of caring the stars offer them safe haven and a home above the Earth and among the stars. In this time you see how the care bears got their symbols and how they grew up. They eventually defeat dark heart in the end and watchers get to relearn som e important lessons about caring. This movie was the perfect springboard for the successful cartoon series which was playing at the time, and answered many questions. This movie would be cherished by any child who had found the T.V show care bears enjoyable to watch.

In a nutshell the care bears shows us how to care and be friendly it sets a perfect example to kids. It also shows how to fight the obstacles that your caring will encounter this shows this in characters such as Dark Heart in this movie. Feel free to make more movies as this is one show kids won't learn violence from
