Dove Review

When I popped “The Care Bear Movie” in, I was ready for an innocent, cute cartoon. I was therefore extremely surprised to see the repeated use of magic, spells and even some incantations! There was an evil spirit (that is how the Care Bears referred to it) and this how one of the main characters easily gained control over a little boy in the story.

Granted, the magic wasn’t used to kill anyone or do physical harm, but it was certainly used to defeat good and allow the bad to prevail. Other than that (which was the main vein of the story), the movie was clean, as a kids movie should be. The positive point of the movie is that good feelings (especially love) are just as powerful as magic and can even overcome the bad. If it wasn’t for the magic aspect, this would have been a cute movie for kids, but unfortunately, Dove cannot give its stamp of approval on this one!
