Les Bisounours II - Une nouvelle génération

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

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.

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!!!

Care Bears Movie 2: A New Generation isn't at all a bad movie. In fact, I like it very much. Yes I admit the dialogue is corny and the story is a bit poorly told at times. But Darkheart, while very very dark is a convincing enough shape shifting villain, and Hadley Kay did a superb job voicing him. Speaking of the voice acting, it was great, nothing wrong with it whatsoever. The animation is colourful, and some of the visuals particularly at the beginning were breathtaking. The songs and score are lovely, especially Growing Up and Forever Young, the latter has always been my personal favourite of the two. The care bears, who I do like, are adorable, and the human children are well done too. And the ending is a real tearjerker. All in all, harmless kiddie fun. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This movie was so adorable when I first saw it. I was 4 and I fell in love with the Care Bears. (I was born in 85 so parents made me wait to see it) And the other day I watched it with a bunch of my friends and loved it just as much. I thought that the story line didn't even follow the actual timeline of the Care Bears Evolution, but loved it nonetheless. In Lamen's, despite the film's inaccuracy, it's still the most adorable kid's movie. They just don't make them like they used to.
