THE CARE BEARS II: A NEW GENERATION (Theatrical Release USA 1986)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì

The Care Bears II: A New Generation—not the most outstanding of presentations—becomes a necessary part of the childhood experience because it instills in children the message that caring is one of the best ways to make the world a better place. Care Bear books and movies build a better next generation. On that note alone, the movie is worth watching and worth adding to a home video library for re-watching through a young child’s movie watching years.
