well and i be a child of the 80 and and love the care bear back then and and watch the tv show and saw the movie . own a few myself . so and when i saw that there be a new movie and in cgi and i be a bit skeptical . first and i know just how many awful cgi movie there have be and and i wasn not sure anybody could be trust with the care bear . so and i saw journey to joke a lot come and go and and wasn not that interested in see it . so and last night i happen to stumble on it on the disney channel and and decide to finally watch it . i be very surprised at how good it actually be . yes and some of the classic thing like the care bear stare and the cousin be not around and but that do not really bother me at all . i find the animation to be very good for a direct to video affair and and much and much good than those awful barbie movie . the bear look so cute and furry and and round in cgi and and the other character be interest . even the rat have computerize fur . the song be surprisingly good too and and seem like something from a feature film and or a disney film . i also like some of the reference to other movie like 2001 represent a space odessey . that happen when funnybone would try to get into the vault where the treasure be hide and the computer be much like hal from 2001. it even call funnybone dave every time . i really enjoy this movie much more than i think i would and and would highly recommend it to anyone . i have to say that even though i grow up watch the original care bear cartoon and movie and i would rate this one above those due to it not pander to kid and dumbing everything down . this movie have a nice balance and and would be easy for parent to watch with the kid .
