The Care Bears Movie (1985)
Member Rating:  
In a film designed to bring smiles to the post-toddler set on up to perhaps their seven-year-old siblings, this animated story by Arna Selznick (only the third woman in cinematic history to direct a full-length animated feature) is about the popular Care Bears. These loving creatures inhabit a realm in the clouds called Care-A-Lot, and their purpose in life is to get the humans down below to share their good feelings with each other. They watch over human children with large telescopes and help those children who need help. The Care Bears have their work cut out for them, because Nicolas, a lonely magician's assistant, is about to fall under the evil influence of a bad spirit who lives in an ancient magic book -- it seems Nicolas will do just about anything for friends. Aside from Nicolas, Kim (Cree Summer) and Jason (Sunny Besen Thracher) are in trouble because they are starting not to trust people after suffering many disappointments. Mickey Rooney is the voice of Mr. Cherrywood, the owner of an orphanage. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

John W.

I think this movie deserves special credit for the fact that, like another online review said, unlike a lot of these kid's movies, it picks a moral and doesn't compromise. Caring IS the answer. And from the target audience's perspective, it's loaded with atmosphere -- my six-year-old niece was glued to the screen during the climax. It doesn't _entirely_ hold up from a nostalgic standpoint, even for someone with fond memories of the movie like myself. But it does carry over to the kids of today better than most 80's kids films by my estimation. Thumbs squarely up.
