Why We Rated This on for Ages 4 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Lots of emphasis on teamwork, not giving up, and maintaining a positive attitude.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    The villain is indeed threatening, but his weapon of destruction is an amusement park ride that painlessly removes Care Bear belly badges.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Most versions come packaged with a plush Care Bear. Since the movie is a spin-off of a very successful toy line, it's impossible to avoid commercialism. Grizzle is intent in collecting unique Care Bears and kids might be, too.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Care Bears: Oopsy Does It!

Parents need to know that this straight-to-DVD title is a light, harmless romp that doesn't offer much substance to its target audience of young viewers. But it does offer plenty of related merchandise. A version of this DVD actually comes with a plush Care Bear toy and these American Greetings-owned Care Bear characters are also back on TV. The villain character will probably not scare youngsters, but preliminary scenes of his "Care Taker" machine may. A Spanish-speaking addition to the Care Bear fold, Amigo Bear, makes his debut.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about Oopsy and his constant clumsiness. For the most part, his friends are very patient with him; why do you think that is? Do you have friends who you can depend on to like you even when you make mistakes? Is there anyone in your life who needs that type of understanding now and again?

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 4.0

    My daughter loves it!

    My daughter was a little frightened of the Grizzle character, but there is so much about this movie she loves. She really likes the silliness of Oopsy and at the end when Oopsy tells the other Care Bears that even without their belly badges they still care she thinks that is so nice and it makes her happy.
