Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì

The Care Bears Movie—sweet, loving, predictable, just for children—gets into its story by showing children what our world should be like. Thank you to Director Arna Selsnick for a terrific ‘what if’ film.

Yes. The film works to interpret the Care Bear personalities onscreen. This easily becomes a good and safe watch for children, especially children whose parents/guardians read The Care Bear stories to them.
