"I am a 24 year old who grew up on these stories as a child. I loved the cartoon and would have my mother tape them on Saturday mornings. I was quite young when the Care Bears came out and I was never scared by them. In fact, I have re-watched this DVD and find no reason for a child to be frightened unless they have been sheltered. These stories present consequences and show that while the Care Bears live in a soft, colorful world, even they have their share of problems. Give your child a chance to experience stories that portray cause and effect on their level."
Just fine for kids!

"What is the deal with all of these people who find the "Care Bears" too scary for their children to watch?? Yes- they always have a "villain/bad guy" in the episodes- what cartoon, or any other type of show, for that matter- does not? If you are searching for entertainment for your kids that does not portray any sort of conflict or negativity, maybe you should discard your TV set and stick to singing lullabies to your kids. The "Care Bears" cartoons are full of conflict resolution in a peaceful manner, and by trying your best, working hard, etc.- plenty of good values and kid-friendly stuff, if you ask me. If your kids are frightened by every scene in a "Care Bears" cartoon, I would suggest the problem lies with parents are who are bent on sheltering their children from every possible moment that is not sunshine, roses and eternal bliss; and not with the "Care Bears" or any other cartoon series aimed at young children. These cartoons are great- my three-year-old daughter loves them, and pretends that she is a Care Bear all the time!!!"
Care Bears are NOTHING without villians.

"I know some people gave "Care Bears - Kingdom of Caring" bad reviews because their kids are afraid of No-Heart (villian,) but I think Care Bears would be VERY boring without the bad guys. Without the villians, the Bears would end up picking stupid daisys during the whole movie...(yawn.) Without the villians, the Care Bear t.v show wouldn't be that popular.
I know some kids are afraid of the bad guys, but it's not like Beastly and No-Heart would pop out of the T.V. and attack you.
Message To the parents who gave this a bad review: "STOP WORRYING SO MUCH! THE SHOWS THAT ARE ON NOW ARE A LOT SCARIER THAN THE CARE BEAR VILLIANS!""
Care Bears was my favorite childhood show!

"When I was little, I loved watching the Care Bears on t.v.! It was my favorite show. I even had a couple of stuffed Care Bears and some kind of Care Bear Play-do toy. Watching the Care Bears now as a twenty-two-year-old college kid sure brings back happy memories! I think it's great that they're bringing back those terrific cartoons of the eighties, like Care Bears, Smurfs, Fraggle Rock, and others!
I can understand why some younger kids might get scared by some of the bad guys in The Care Bears, because one of them used to spook me a bit, too! But those little bears always made me laugh when I was little and I absolutely loved them! Bedtime Bear is my favorite, and for Christmas last year, my best friend gave one to me! Again, it's great that they're bringing back these great toys from the eighties!
Care Bears may be a little lovey-dovey, but it was my favorite show as a kid, and I think kids today would love it too!"
