A Volta dos Ursinhos Carinhosos

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

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 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!!!

For the longest time, I liked this movie better than the original Care Bears movie. Well last summer, I watched them both together and decided I was wrong. The first one is a better Care Bears movie (as you may have guessed if you read my review for it). This one isn't a BAD movie, it's just... VERY STRANGE.

Well first of all, as a few people have mentioned, it completely disavows any knowledge of the first movie. I can't think of another sequel that contradicts the original so blatantly (especially with the genders of some characters and how they all met). When I was little and watching this, I was quite a bit confused and distraught. I felt the same way watching it as an adult!

On to the reasons why the movie is actually pretty good (IF you disassociate it from the first movie). I can't think of another movie for little kids with a DEMON as it's villan! Now I am not for a minute suggesting that evil demons who want to steal the souls of campers and Care Bears are good, I just find it cool that there's a SUPREMELY EVIL BEING in a movie for little kids! It's like that bizzare "Santa Clause vs. Satan" movie from Mexico you hear about sometimes.

Anyhow, the demon's name is Darkheart and he wants this chick to help him get the Care Bears in return for him giving her special powers. Very dark for a kiddy flick eh? And did I mention that Darkheart appears to the girl most often as a WHINEY VOICED 10 YEAR OLD BOY??? Freaky! Meanwhile some other kids are in Care-a-Lot looking after BABY CARE BEARS! Oh, man! Demons and baby Care Bears IN THE SAME MOVIE!!!!!

Needless to say, everything gets cleared up in the end (but not before we get to see Darkheart trap the Care Bears' souls in this scary chandelere thing in one [surprisingly] deeply disturbing scene). But I am left with the question of wether this movie has found the cult audience it so richly deserves. I might just watch it again myself.

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
