The world is in trouble and it's up to the Care Bears to save
it. Way up high where the clouds and rainbows live, the Care
Bears watch over the Earth and make sure everyone is kind
and friendly to one another. So when they see an evil spirit
trick a lonely boy into helping make people mean the huggable
heroes jump into action! They come to the rescue with the
animals from the Forest of Feelings. But it's going to take
an awful lot of love to defeat the spirit's powerful spirit...
The
Care Bears Movie is a strange choice of film to be released
on DVD. Cynics at the time of the craze pointed out that the
Care Bears were just a really good way of getting young children
to beg their parents to spend stupid amounts of money on collecting
plastic bears that were almost identical apart from their
colour and picture on their stomachs. And this movie was seen
as just another excuse to rake in more money.
The
plot is rather poor, the animation is below par and the songs
(and singing) are terrible. But, then I am not an eight year
old girl. And I have it on good authority that the Care Bears
were cool and that the movie was enjoyable to little girls
when it was first released.
Set
both on Earth and in Carealot the idea behind this movie is
straight forward enough (of course there's a moral here) everyone
should care about each other and not be mean. The movie also
introduces the Care Bear Cousins - which later had their very
own toy line.
Kids
will no doubt enjoy it, but the grownups are best advised
to go and do something less boring instead. Although you might
be interested to know (but I doubt it) that both Mickey Rooney
and Harry Dean Stanton lend their vocal talents to the picture.
Watchable
for kids, but I didn't Carealot for it.
