Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (10):
Kids say (4):

Kids will easily relate to the troubles that arise among the Care Bears and may benefit from watching them resolve their differences with positive word choices and an understanding of others' feelings. And parents who remember the cuddly characters from their own childhood will get an extra kick out of sharing this series with their kids. All of that said, it's worth noting that very young viewers may find Grizzle's stern appearance and insistence on raising turmoil among the Care Bears a bit frightening and/or upsetting.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
