I bought one of my nieces this movie for her birthday. She loves the Care Bears and her room is decorated in this theme. We both love these characters. She enjoyed the movie and rewatches it on sick days from school.

This animated movie, featuring the popular children's characters, begins with orphanage manager Mr. Cherrywood (Mickey Rooney) telling a story about the Care Bears. In it, a young magician's assistant falls prey to an evil spirit (Jackie Burroughs) intent on destroying all happiness in the world. It is then up to a group of Care Bears, including Friend Bear and Love-a-Lot Bear, with help from a couple of orphans, to stop the spirit using their caring powers.

Such a sweet story with all of your favourite Care Bears. Together the Care Bears will work very hard to keep the evil sprit from destroying all happiness in the world. With team work and their sweet generosity the Care Bears will not let anyone down. A lovely family oriented story.
