This movie's score has gone up a lot since the last time I checked, but I still think it's crap. I was willing to at least give credit for the original for having a coherent story and trying to show off some of the Care Bears mythology. What I hate is that none of this even makes sense with the original movie. I mean, it has the word "II" in its name yet it's no direct continuation of the original! We already saw the Care Bear Cousins origins and this completely changes that! In a movie that's intended to be a direct sequel, I would think you'd at least know what the original movie was about.There are too many songs to list in this movie and most of them are just plain stupid. It's so obnoxious. There's a character that's supposed to be a horse, but it's literally nothing but a bear design with long ears! I'd rather watch "My Little Pony" over this. I of course mean the original series and not the awesome new one, as I'd watch that one over anything. At the end, the villain Darkheart realizes he cares and that turns him into a real boy. What? When did anything in this story imply his mission was to become a real boy?Apparently, time moves differently as the Care Bear Cousins grow up instantly. Then again, it actually is implied time has passed back on Earth. So why are the kids the same age? At the end when the kids are waving them goodbye, they even give Darkheart the wrong character design for a moment! I knew that Christy would use her marbles to save the day. I knew really everything that would happen. This is the worst movie so far for Nostalgia Critic Month but sadly it's going to get much worse with 1987. I don't know why shattering the crystals would free the Bears either. *

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 remember seeing Care Bears Movie 2 when i was young and i never saw the 1st care bears movie. I thought that the care bears movie 2 was good, and i use to be obsessed with the word Cart Wheels, when i was 6 i started doing Cart wheels alot and now i'm 16 and i can still do them, i still have fun now.

What were they thinking? The creators of this film obviously had never even seen the original. This film is a sorry excuse for a Care Bears sequel. It contradicts most of what happened in the first movie, and really treats it's audience like children... children don't want to be talked down to in films, and adults would really get tired of this film in the first five minutes. The writers tried to include a Disney-ish wit in this film, but they ended up making the whole film a joke. The only good thing about this film is the music- Dean Parks is a well-know studio guitarist who laid down many tracks in the 70's and 80's for big names like Billy Joel and Barry Manilow. Unfortunately some of the songs do drag, but this movie does have it's share of good songs. The Voice talent is excellent too, Maxine Miller does a terrific job with Truheart Bear. Nelvana is a wonderful animation studio, they had all kinds of talent that went into this project, yet they produced such an awful film, I can't figure it out.
