Care Bears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot-
Guest Reviewer: Esme, age 14
NETWORK: CBS
DESCRIPTION- The Care
Bears are back with a brand new look! With new voice
actors, some new Belly Badges and so many other new
changes! The bears no longer go down to earth to
help children, but instead help the viewers learn
some important lessons while watching the show.
Great for kids of all ages, for younger kids it's a
soft environment, and it teaches them lessons, for
older kids, the plots are good, with a few twists,
and they talk in full sentences. For teens, it's
kind of fun to pick out little things I've noticed,
like mystery bears in the background, spotting bears
that you didn't know were in style yet.
FAVORITE PART- When Share falls down in
"Care-ful Bear" and Grumpy comes to her rescue.
DISLIKED-When Cheer tried to cheer up Grumpy
in "Case of the Grumpies". I don't know why, but it
rubbed me the wrong way.
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT FOR KIDS YOUR AGE?
Only if they have an open mind.
