Amazon.com: 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

A little too scary I remember watching the carebears from my chidhood thinking they were not so bad, but unfortunately in this movie my son tends to get scared by the evil book and spirit. He cannot watch this movie alone it is too intense for a little mind.
The Care Bears Movie This item I purchased for a Christmas gift for my niece (age 3)and my nephew (age 1). When my children were little they really enjoyed this movie about the care bears so I thought it would be nice for my niece and nephew. All little children whether it is either a boy or girl like teddy bears.
good movie, good message wow, interesting description by amazon. all i can say is that i loved care bears as a child and my daughter is obsessed with them now. these cartoons teach kids to have faith in themselves and to care for others, which is more than can be said for many of the violence based cartoons coming out nowadays. who cares if the main focus was to sell products isn't that the same deal with most of the cartoons out today, especially with all the collector card shows they have. carebears is entertaining and uplifting, if you disagree just try putting it on for a two year old and see them perk up.
i went back in time actually, it wasn't the picture i was looking for, but i've seen the care bears since i was little, i really went back in time, every kid should see all the care bears movies because they have a very good messagge. i loved it.
I thought reviews were supposed to be non-partial!? Wow. I've always been very pleased with Amazon. But Amazon unfortunately allowed a very angry man to review this movie. That's too bad.
The Care Bears Movie was something that I first watched when I was around 4-5 years old. I remember absolutely loving the Care Bears. As I grew up, the Care Bears popularity has waxed and waned, but I've always had a soft spot for the bears and their cousins. When I saw this movie in DVD, I had to have it. It was as sweet and happy as I remember. There are a few goofs in the animation (Bears being in places they shouldnt be, Bears being the wrong color, and my personal favorite is the animators seem to have problem with eyes! Alot of characters spend a few frames with crossed eyes, which is hysterical!), it's still a good movie. It teaches nice lessons for children.
The cartoons that children have to watch seem to teach children it's ok to be stupid, rather than teaching them to be caring, loving, honest, and multiple other IMPORTANT life lessons. I highly recommend not only the Care Bears Movie, but all of the Care Bears shows.
