this movie do contradict the first one as far a the origin of the care bear and the care bear cousins go . i would not deny that . however and if you look at part ii a a separate film and then it a very good movie . i remember watch this in the early 80 ( and fit into it targeted demographic audience then ) and and absolutely love it much more than the first movie ( not that i do not enjoy that one too and it just that this one seem to have a little something extra to it ) . sure it dark than the first one too and but perhaps maybe that why it so good . and it dark in deep kind of subtle way too ( that kid may not fully understand and but could still be a bit scared of because of the atmosphere it give off and and adult watch will surely get quicker a i have now watch this film again now in my mid twenty ) where you basically have a young girl make a deal with an evil spirit or demon in exchange for something else . get the picture . but simply watch that a a child and sure a i say it may have be a little scary and but nothing traumatizing . in fact if anything it give me another fantasy game i could play when i be that age . i can not tell you the number of time i use to pretend dark heart want to imprison me and have me help him capture the care bear and try to make me turn over to his dark side and and other thing like that etc . so this movie be also good for my imagination . and it also get great emotional depth to it too . i use to watch it at least once a week . also hadley kay be the perfect choice for the voice of dark heart ( i always think so and i always will ) . now it just too bad that they never make a soundtrack available . sometimes i just want to hear grow up without watch the movie and as good a it be . what good be love and care if it can not save her .
