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 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.

By far the best series of the 80's!
The Care Bears tought myself (and alot of others) to always love and to care about the underdog, and how to be a better child. This series is by far THE BEST to ever come out of the eighties, with the Popples in a far second (although I love them too) I'm getting this movie for the children that I know in my life, as this is a heck of alot better than the Spongebob garbage (adult humor for kids) on tv now!

A Care Bear Hater says,"not too shabby".
Ok, first off let me mention that I grew up with this stuff in the 80's, and the Care Bears have always annoyed me, as there is only room in my heart for one Bear and that's the Poo, none the less I found this first movie actually enjoyable when I watched it as it played with the whole theme of a good natured character is faced and tempted with Evil like he has never encountered before and which of course tests him to great ends!
It is stories like these, like Star Wars (classic), like the old Disney films, etc. Stories in which the comedy is not dependant upon a knowldege of the topical pop culture and "issues" of the main stream media of the time and country in which it was made. Stories in which the characters did not have to reflect Consumer Culture, Vanity, the aspiration to be a self proclaimed Diva/Princess/Brat. Stories that were very basic, very close to the human experience, to the heart, and to what makes a human...
...humn, to be quite plain and simple. Which is kind of shocking considering that this film was designed to make kids mindlessly salibate for the toys, which makes one wonder,"is it really the toys that are so appealing, the pieces of gender altering plastic, or is it the conditioning of being raised in a co-depentant, shop for happiness, the mall is the meca, consumer based families and societies?" You just got to ask yourself.
Which brings me to my second point. What is with all the bashing of this film like it is special in that it is a marketting campain for a toy? What is new? Movies have been used as adverts for products for a very very very long time, worse yet, media in general has been used not only for selling the slave labour toys and prodcuts made from "developing nations" for our children and for ourselves, but also the fact that media, musick, movies, etc. Are used to con the masses into idealogies which lead to mass murder, opression, indentured servitude, etc. Yet no one seems to be awake to this idea even though the concept is as old as the celluloid it is made upon if not older...
Besides it's like singling out that one pop singer for lip syncing on SNL and the Orange Bowl or what ever. Why single out one egg, when the whole carton is bad?!!??!?!
Again, regardless of being a marketting tool, it delivers a wholesome message, so for once in my life I will say commerciallism in this instance is far from mindless, and far from harmful nationalistic or relgious propagana, just pure, simpl fun! Highly suggested!
