Charon: Boy, this one was hard to enjoy. Nicholas and the Spirit had some enjoyable, over-the-top villain moments. Beyond those two however, boy was this one not very good. The only bear I might have enjoyed at all had a reduced role and he sold out in the ending sequence; which by the way, glad to see that sing-to-close number way back in the 80s, ugh. The bears themselves are hard to like. Tenderheart is portrayed to be this leader but he's so inept and basically allows the spirit to get loose in the first place. Those animals... those animals! Shameless attempt at selling stuffed toys; so many useless bit characters there. Braveheart was so useless, it was almost sad to watch how pathetic he was. Oh, I just remembered my favorite character! The Star! The star on the boat when they were sailing on the river. The expression change thing was a lot of fun, I liked him. The entire movie should have been that star reacting to things.

Genny: Admittedly The Care Bears Movie wasn't as awful as I thought it would be. It was still pretty bad though. I'm not going to equate antiquity with pandering or objective lack of quality, but it really does feel like most of the movies on the older half of this list were made with no plot in mind and specifically to market new toys. In this case it's especially obvious in regards to the Care Bear Cousins who just show up and essentially steal the spotlight. The villain is at least decent in this one, but the real stand out character in this movie was the sentient star on the Care Bear ship's mast. I love the faces it makes, and I was legitimately upset when it only had one appearance in the sequel.

Stifled: So what really bugs me about this movie and, ultimately, its sequel, is that it is just mindless drivel. Care, love, and rainbows are tossed around like rag dolls to try and cram a be nice lesson down kids throats. But all this movie actually teaches kids is that care bears, care lions, care horses, care monkeys, care racoons, and whatever the fuck else are available at your local Toys R Us. The only saving grace of this movie is also its curse. The book lady is actually a pretty cool villain that feeds off of the negative emotions of the angry boy with no friends. But the issue is he is basically a terrorist that is completely forgiven and let go with just a stern talking to. And I have to say even the sternness of that talking to is debatable! This teaches kids that you can practically wipe out the world, but you are forgiven and get a free pass as long as you are sorry. That is NOT how the world works and that is a horrible message to the viewing audience. Terrorist boy should be in jail, not grow up to become Mickey Rooney and have a family.
What keeps this delightful masterpiece out of the bottom spot is that the villain is cool, the Carole King song is pretty, and that its actually a complete movie. I cant say any of that about the other bottom movietypethings.

Traviss Opinion: He actually really liked it lmao. Poor kid. All the brightly colored animals were right up his alley. So I guess props to the marketing department for nailing that demographic.

Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a list of solipsistic materialism thinly disguised as films making the outrageous claim that they have plots was worthy of the time of Gauntlet Crew. Especially when you find yourself subject to an unrepentantly shameless toyline cash grab in the case of the visual assault that is Care Bears. Hiding the characters behind vague generalities that are clearly monochromatic at best, this so-called film peddles to simpletons with one-dimensional annoyances and worthless children with utterly irrational attitudes trapped in maybe the least interesting orphanage since Grelod the Kinds failed venture.
