The Care Bears were a line of multicolored teddy bears that racked up more than $200 million in retail sales in 1984. The Care Bears Movie was essentially a 75-minute commercial to introduce the new Care Bear Cousins, disguised as a smarmy story about sharing feelings. The film earned $23 million theatrically and ushered in a spate of cheap animated films created to sell merchandise to children. The plot interweaves the stories of Kim and Jason, two lonely orphans who have given up caring, and of Nicholas, a friendless magician's assistant who's seduced by an evil spirit. The Care Bears resolve everyone's problems. Years later, the Care Bears' popularity has waned and the film stands as a reminder of one of the less admirable uses of animation. The stars, hearts, rainbows, and saccharine songs can't disguise the barefaced commercialism behind the threadbare story. --Charles Solomon

Too dark a movie for preschoolers.......2007-06-19

My son, who is 3 1/2, actually likes this film, even though it really scares him. He still asks for the movie, but I don't really want him to see it again. I don't like the emphasis on "Evil Spirits" and spells. I don't feel this film is appropriate for young children. It is so unnecessary to make a movie like this for little ones. My 3-year-old already has enough fears, and doesn't need to have anything else added to it.

Love it.......2007-06-03

Used to watch this movie when I was younger, loved it then and love it now. I was ecstatic to find it on dvd.

Made for commercial use, but teaches lessons.......2007-05-31

I totally agree that Amazon's review is VERY sarcastic! It's not right to degrade the movie that teaches children lessons in caring, sharing, and friendship. I watched this as a young child and remember my parents taping it for us to watch. Sure, the animation may be a little sketchy, but who doesn't love the Care Bears? They teach you lessons on friendship and that caring is not something to be forgotten. I loved the care bears and the cousins and wouldn't trade them for the world!

Care bears are great!.......2007-05-05

I have heard that this is way too scary for kids. I watched it when I was a kid, and I really don't think so. I have a feeling people are sheltering their kids more these days than they did in the past. Even so, I thought it was a great movie then, and it's a great movie still today. Amazon claims it's a vapid attempt at hiding a commercial for the new Care Bear Cousins.. but I thought meeting the Cousins one by one was the best part! I have seen this film a million times. I have younger sisters, but I bought it for MYSELF. :P

This movie helped me as a teenager.......2007-04-24

When I was 13 I was depressed. When I saw this film, I realized I was holding my sadness inside which is what Tenderheart sings to the two orphans not to do, and I realized that I promised myself when I was younger I wouldn't do that.

Also, I saw that I was becoming exactly like Nicholas, that I was becoming a bully myself because I felt isolated. I'm now fine, and taking medication for my depression. It's interesting, most people don't belive me when I say this film helped me realize I was going down a bad path when I was a teen. It happens to be true, that the messages in this film really are important and transcend time. That being in a downward spiral, is very much like how Nicholas wasn't able to close the evil magic book. I wish there were more intelligent writers out there, like the people who wrote this film.

The animation is so life like similar to 3D.......2007-05-16

The animation is spectacular, I wish these type of cartoons were made when I was a kid. My 19 month grand-daughter loves this video, and the music too. I'm not too sure what those "other" reviewers are talking about when they state that the graphics are scary, and wishing they made them the old-style way, to them I say "grow up with the times and enjoy, it's only a movie, and if that's your opinion be real, it's only a cartoon, you're judging waaaayyy to harshly.. I wish they made more movies like this, it looks spectacular on my 50" Toshiba that I had also bought through Amazon, saving me a great big bundle.

Care Bears - Journey to Joke-a-Lot .......2006-11-05

My granddaughter loves it.She watches it 2 to 3 times a day,Need i say more.

Don't reject the new in favor of the old!.......2006-07-18

My three year old absolutely loves both of the CGI animated Care Bear movies and we sing along to the songs together. The new soundtracks are catchy and have great messages/themes. The story line for this particular movie is appropriate, well paced (not too fast) and provides a valuable lesson--be careful how you treat others, and sensitive to other's feelings. I would strongly recommend this movie, without hesitation, even if Funshine Bear did "become" a boy...I view all of the Care Bears as sex neutral and my 3 year old is oblivious, regardless. Enjoy!

My daughter loves it!.......2006-03-22

My two year old loves those carebears, especially Journey to Joke-alot. It is funny and she loves to dance along to the songs!

I am a carebear fanatic BUT..........2006-03-15

...I will have to shoot myself if I am forced to watch this again. The animations are very annoying, the court jesterish feel is very annoying and the portrayal of Funshine Bear (my favorite) as a pre-teenaged boy jokester is NOT my idea of what carebears is about. I was NOT impressed with this movie!

Very cutesy movie.......2007-05-05

My 2-year daughter absolutely loves this DVD!! She owns about 5 Care Bear stuffed animals, which come with a free DVD which are low quality 30-minute cartoons. This DVD, on the other hand, is a full-length movie using modern animation and it grabbed my daughter's attention immediately. The story is sugary sweet as is typical of Care Bears stories, but I think it demonstrates good lessons for children. Very appropriate for the youngest crowd. I wish there was more of a soundtrack because my daughter loves music; there are only 2 or 3 songs throughout the entire movie. OVerall, I highly recommend this item.

Didn't like this at all........2007-04-20

I only watched this movie to see how bad it would be. Unfortunately I was proved right. I absolutely loved the original care bear movies from the 80's but this was awful compared to them. To borrow an old saying: "out with the new in with the old".

loved it.......2007-03-31

hey, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this dvd. (and i'm an adult) I know i don't have much of a life but still i recommend this dvd not just for kids but adults as well because I think the message within the movie applies to everybody not just children. It's not quite the carebears you remember from the 80's but they are still all about caring for everybody. I think we could all use that once in a while esp. now with everything that is going on in the world. don't you?

Great!.......2007-03-23

Our daughter is almost 3 and LOVES this movie! She'd watch it every day if we let her. I have nothing bad to say about this movie. Cute story, cute songs, cute characters.

best care bears.......2007-01-19

My 2-year old daughter prefers this Care Bears movie to "Joke-a-Lot," probably because this movie is all Care Bears and there are no distractions coming from other characters or creatures.
This movie is totally harmless, non-violent, and perfect fare for toddlers, plus the morals are something anyone could agree with.

Product Description

This is a Care Bears The Movie II DVD. In this Care Bears The Movie II DVD, journey back in time with the Care Bears to the time when the Care Bear Cubs and Care Cousin Cubs grew to be the caring champions of the world in this sequel to the popular toy inspired animated film. Set in a summer camp, the evil Dark Heart convinces a young girl to trap the care bears and destroy goodness. But when she learns the error of her ways, she must try and reverse her own wrongdoing.

Amazon.com

When you're stuck at summer camp with no adult counselor in sight and a fiery, bellowing hurricane named Dark Heart threatens to unleash a storm of evil, it's time to reach for the nearest teddy bear. In the case of Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation, three forlorn campers enlist a whole rainbow of singing, animated bears--and Care Bear Cousins--to learn that making friends and sharing feelings are skills that define true Camp Champs.

Another visual candy dish based on that lucrative pack of American Greeting Cards characters (introduced in the 1980s), this 90-minute film extends many warm, positive messages about caring and sharing. But it suffers from a thick coating of sugary dialogue ("If you have ever cared, care now!"), gooey songs, and exhausting action. Preschool viewers deserve healthier doses of similar yet superior fare, like Dragon Tales or Bear in the Big Blue House. --Liane Thomas

Customer Reviews:

REALLY messed up!.......2007-06-03

This movie is seriously messed up. The retard that made this movie really needs to admit him/herself into an asylum.

How can the Care Bear cousins be cousins of the bears when they all have the same parents?

Why does Christy risk her life to save Dark Heart even if she was reluctant to?

WHY in all the hecks do the two goody-goody two shoes Dawn and John have rhyming names?

Why was this movie made???!!!

Great Movie.......2006-12-05

Ok so this movie has flaws no movie is perfect. The 2 big flaws most people seem to bring up are:

1. Contradicts the first movie
2. Care Bears grow up too fast.

The growing up too fast never really bothered me as one can say it's just because their magical. I was really upset at first about the contradiction to the first movie but taken by itself it has a very good story. I thought the songs were really awesome, especially "The Fight Song". The lamest moment in the movie I thought was the part about the moose - but hey no movie is perfect. Taken as a whole I think the story the characters, especially Darkheart, and the awesome songs outweigh the flaws. And not to forget of course it teaches good morals. Excellent to teach kids about caring and maybe not too bad for adults either - of which I am one of them. Five stars for an excellent movie.

Care bears movie II: New Generation.......2006-11-03

There was a flaw on the DVD. It would get to a point and stop. It was a gift and 30 days would have passed before it could be returned.

Love it still!.......2006-07-19

I love this DVD! I loved it when I was little and now ( I'm a 28 year old! ) It has a great message about friends and showing love to others. The five year olds I work with for camp liked it too. One girl said as soon as it ended, "Can we watch it over again? "

Care Bears Movie 2: New Generation.......2006-07-07

I loved this movie as a kid, I bought it because I work at a youth center and also have two young nieces. All the children I showed it to loved it and wanted to watch it over and over again! The quality has been touched up a lot so it is different from what I remember, but the colors are great and the kids really appreciate it!

A Good Show .......2007-04-26

I Have read alot of reviews on the carebears show over the last few months and I can tell you that there really isn't a reason for kids to be scared of any of the episodes in this series. I am a collector and own about half of the Dvds with the Origanal episodes, all the movies including the recent new ones, and a bunch of the way origanal Dic Episodes. I have watched them all and I can tell you there is nothing on any of these discs that should really scare your children. but for those of you who might be weary of No Heart and beastly here are some discs that you can get that don't include no heart: "Journey to Joke-a-Lot", "The CareBears Big Wish Movie", and All of the Origanal Dic dvds, most of which are marked with animation station at the top of the disc above the title. I personally enjoyed The CareBears big Wish Movie. but really I think all of the shows involving the carebears are great for kids to watch, (and adults too). I guess if your child is scared easily or something I wouldn't get them the discs with no heart on them but the others are still great entertament. Oh, just to clarify, I personlly thought that this disc and all the episodes on were execellent. I recommend it to everyone who loves the carebears.

Oh Come On...........2007-04-14

We bought this Care Bears DVD for our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter to watch.There is absolutely nothing scary or evil about the Care Bears.Kiersten was not frightened of No Heart or Beastly.I've read lots of reviews on Amazon.Some people seem to find something scary or disturing on many of the kids shows today.Examples of reviews I've read include a Dora episode with a witch that some found too frightening for their kids,the movie Bambi,My Little Pony is supposedly evil too and now Care Bears.Lighten Up!!!For those interested,Adventures In Care-a-lot is 88 minutes in length with 4 episodes.I bought this from ShopKo for about $6.00.

Not At All Scary.......2006-10-25

I completely disagree with the reviewers who stated that this show features villians that would frighten young children. Even though I hadn't been born yet when these episodes were originally aired, I watched the reruns as a young child and not once did I consider No Heart to be a scary villian. And his henchmen Beastly and Shrieky were far from terrfying. In fact, they were the center of many hilarious incidents that had me laughing until my sides hurt. My sister who is three years younger than I am, watched them with me and she was never negatively affected by it and only remembers how much she loved it. This show features loveable characters, exciting adventures, and heart-warming tales of friendship. I highly recommend this show and I hope to one day watch it with my children.

And for the people who claim that this show isn't the "original" you are correct. A few years before the show thatI am reviewing aired, a tv special of sorts was released in which the Care Bears "battled" against Professor Coldheart. I believe there were at least two specials: The Land Without Feelings and The Care Bears Battle the Cold Machine.

Defending the Bears.......2006-01-28

Too many people have stated that the carebears episodes in this dvd are too scary for children. This is hardly the case. If your child is too frightened to watch the carebears, then it becomes more an issue of you smothering your child. If you think that it is too scary, and you want to keep your child from being exposed to the scary noheart, then you are going to have a lot to handle when your kid is at a sleepover when she is 8 and witnesses the nightmare on elmstreet or something for the first time. Sometimes its ok to be scared, and if you shelter them from it then you are gonna end up with a kid with major psychological issues. Carebears is good starter for a kid. Noheart may do "bad things" to the carebears, but people do a lot worse things to other people in the real world, sheltering them from a diluted version of that fact is only going to make it worse when they face the real version. You rock original carebears!

Execellent!!.......2007-04-26

I read the other reviews below and have to disagree. I quite enjoyed this episode. It isn't really a movie but a hour long episode of the show. the care bears mainly featured are: Tenderheart, Funshine bear, Grumpy bear, and for you hugs and tugs fan out there Hugs and Tugs. Basicly the story is about (who else) the nutcracker who just happens upon the carebears while they are on a caring mission. That caring mission then turns into a huge adventure when the carebears and the nutcracker try to save toyland from a evil vizier. the side story involves hugs and tugs and a young boy trying to find the perfect christmas deceration for the carebears christmas tree. I thought this episode was really well written and is well worth the money. esp. for those of you who like hugs and tugs and can't find many episodes of the show with them featured in them. by the way, for those of you worried about your kids being scared by the vizier, don't worry, he isn't that scary. basicly this episode of the carebears is just what it says on the box, "A Heartwarming Treat for the Whole Family" (or at least for your kids if you don't like carebears). the only thing is is that while it is the christmas episode, christmas dosen't figure into it quite as much as you might think. The elements are there but it isn't as important as it is in other show around the holidays. I personally Recommend This Episode of the carebears to carebears fans of all ages.

Not too bad........2007-01-16

While not the best care bears show it was funny. I also liked how they were trying hard to appeal to boys as well.

My daughter loves the carebears but this movie is a little boring. Normally I cant drag her away when there on but this one she loses interest real fast.

if you have little kids it is so cool to wacth this with them and i would wacth it all the time i mean i am 17 years old and when i wacth this movie i feel like a little kid again so buy this and you and your kids will love it trust me

Parents of young children beware!.......2006-09-22

For an older child I'm sure this has the potential to become a favorite. However parents of younger children beware... this may be far to scary for your little one.

My daughter received the "big wish" movie & a stuffed wish bear from her grandparents, she LOVES the movie and we watch it several times a week and she is constantly pretending to be wish bear and acting out the movie. There is nothing at all scary to a young child in that movie (she's 2 1/2) she loves carebears now so I purchased her some of the other dvd's... what a waste, she is absolutely terrified of the villians and refuses to watch the movies. I wish they would produce more of the warm fuzzy only movies for the younger set to enjoy.

Care Bears are NOTHING without villians........2005-09-05

I know some people gave "Care Bears - Kingdom of Caring" bad reviews because their kids are afraid of No-Heart (villian,) but I think Care Bears would be VERY boring without the bad guys. Without the villians, the Bears would end up picking stupid daisys during the whole movie...(yawn.) Without the villians, the Care Bear t.v show wouldn't be that popular.
I know some kids are afraid of the bad guys, but it's not like Beastly and No-Heart would pop out of the T.V. and attack you.
Message To the parents who gave this a bad review: "STOP WORRYING SO MUCH! THE SHOWS THAT ARE ON NOW ARE A LOT SCARIER THAN THE CARE BEAR VILLIANS!"

Care Bears was my favorite childhood show!.......2005-07-29

When I was little, I loved watching the Care Bears on t.v.! It was my favorite show. I even had a couple of stuffed Care Bears and some kind of Care Bear Play-do toy. Watching the Care Bears now as a twenty-two-year-old college kid sure brings back happy memories! I think it's great that they're bringing back those terrific cartoons of the eighties, like Care Bears, Smurfs, Fraggle Rock, and others!
I can understand why some younger kids might get scared by some of the bad guys in The Care Bears, because one of them used to spook me a bit, too! But those little bears always made me laugh when I was little and I absolutely loved them! Bedtime Bear is my favorite, and for Christmas last year, my best friend gave one to me! Again, it's great that they're bringing back these great toys from the eighties!
Care Bears may be a little lovey-dovey, but it was my favorite show as a kid, and I think kids today would love it too!

Just fine for kids!.......2005-05-24

What is the deal with all of these people who find the "Care Bears" too scary for their children to watch?? Yes- they always have a "villain/bad guy" in the episodes- what cartoon, or any other type of show, for that matter- does not? If you are searching for entertainment for your kids that does not portray any sort of conflict or negativity, maybe you should discard your TV set and stick to singing lullabies to your kids. The "Care Bears" cartoons are full of conflict resolution in a peaceful manner, and by trying your best, working hard, etc.- plenty of good values and kid-friendly stuff, if you ask me. If your kids are frightened by every scene in a "Care Bears" cartoon, I would suggest the problem lies with parents are who are bent on sheltering their children from every possible moment that is not sunshine, roses and eternal bliss; and not with the "Care Bears" or any other cartoon series aimed at young children. These cartoons are great- my three-year-old daughter loves them, and pretends that she is a Care Bear all the time!!!

Misunderstood.......2005-05-10

I am a 24 year old who grew up on these stories as a child. I loved the cartoon and would have my mother tape them on Saturday mornings. I was quite young when the Care Bears came out and I was never scared by them. In fact, I have re-watched this DVD and find no reason for a child to be frightened unless they have been sheltered. These stories present consequences and show that while the Care Bears live in a soft, colorful world, even they have their share of problems. Give your child a chance to experience stories that portray cause and effect on their level.

Care Bears will cheer you up when you are feeling down!.......2007-04-06

This is a great DVD filled with magical Care Bear adventures. Beastly and Shreeky do no disappoint in their usual roles as some of the funniest and most lovable cartoon "bad guys" of all time. Their dialogue is clever and laugh-out-loud silly. Care Bears will cheer you up when you are feeling down!

This was great!.......2007-03-17

I watched this show growing up and watching it again I still love it. These episodes were great! My favorite was "The Magic Lamp", "I wish to make my subjects even more miserable", lol. Five stars for the classic care bears.

disc won't play on our player.......2006-05-21

Plays the previews but won't bring up main menu or play the feature. A new replacement DVD did the same thing. All other DVDs play fine on our player. Have heard others report similar thing for Care Bear DVDs. I guess another reason not to give in to crass commercialism of children's entertainment.

Magical Adventures run down/review.......2005-06-08

This DVD is 88 minutes running, contains eight fun loving episodes that are cute, but also teach children lessons. It does have a few too many other dvd plug ins in the beginning that deter it from reaching five stars.

Not that bad!.......2007-03-18

All but the last 2 episodes in this dvd were good. The last 2 were kinda lame as they were just kid songs but they weren't too terrible. I'm going with 5 stars anyway because I know a young kid would like the last 2 as well.

A must have!.......2005-04-10

I love this dvd,but the words ''Yummi berry soda'' are so good The radio music was funny. The care-a-lot games show was funny and i think the purple one was Harmony bear and the pink one was Take care bear.
