Lack of good storyline.

i must have seen a different film!!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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

Surprisingly dark and mean-spirited would-be children's film has our heroes fighting a demonic force that poses as a young boy at a summer camp. A girl makes a deal with this entity to become athletic and thus becoming the most popular kid among her peers. It is now up to the Care Bears to save the day, help the children, defeat the evil spirit and hopefully turn everything back to the way it should be. Parents could be shocked by this production, while most of the rest of us could not care less anyway. Once again the main idea with this film was to sell teddy bears in the marketplace. Good thing, because the movie needs to be given a bear tranquilizer. 2 stars out of 5.

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

And my children love it now! Granted, I can watch it now and realize the animation wasn't that great, and that the plot is trite. Hey, if every villian introduced themselves by saying "I ammmmm DAAAARRRKK HEEEEAAARRT" I think they might be laughed at, but for young children it is a moral story with catchy music.Music so catchy, mind you, that I still had the words memorized after not seeing this film in twenty years. I would definitely suggest this one for younger children.
