You should do that next time. I remember it from being a kid, and wow, that was a freaky film.

DID YOU GET A NEW HAT?
-
08.02.2011 - 23:55 | EatingDonutsTo be honest i was expecting a team fortress2 joke, you know with that song about hats...
-
08.03.2011 - 12:50 | Steve the Pocket
We totally need someone to hunt down the full song and make a Garry's Mod video out of it.

08.03.2011 - 21:01 | LikaLaruku
I'd watch it :D

Swiftheart Rabbit...?
I don't know what Nostalgia Critic is talking about, I always knew that Swiftheart Rabbit was a girl, I mean, listen to her voice!
Critic you smoking something and I want in!
-
08.16.2011 - 12:11 | chrismccart
In all fairness I thought Swiftheart was a boy too - so did my sisters - but that's probably because he (sry, she) was blue. After having to watch My Little Pony when I was a kid, you kinda expect your whimsical cartoon characters to be colour-coded to gender.
But OMG, now I know where the pirate bit came from - that moment where Grumpy-Bear goes "Avast, it be a fair wind and clear sailing ahead!" I've been jokingly saying that for years, any time pirates (for any reason, movies or whatever) came up in conversation with absolutely no idea where the hell I'd first heard it from! Thank you Critic, you have revealed just how deeply ingrained Care Bears is in my psyche.... uh-oh.
To be fair though, I think I actually enjoyed this film far more than the first one as a child (I'd never seen no.2 before the review), since I remember watching it far more often.

I'm on it.
-
08.05.2011 - 15:47 | ZuifanYeah, he bought it with his Bat Credit Card.

08.03.2011 - 01:23 | xApatheticOnex
Is this really ''nostalgic'' for you? I used to avoid the CareBears like the plague...

Dumbest cross over ever!

08.03.2011 - 05:39 | TheBrigeedaRocks
Oh man, I can't believe anyone else knows about that Tom Thumb movie. I bought it on VHS not-so-long ago to see how bad it was. It was bad. Reeeeeaaaaaal bad.
Also, the Wizard's song reminded me of that weird gelatinous eating blob thing's song from the Raggedy Ann and Andy movie. But then again, I never saw the Terry Gilliam movie you referenced for it so...yeah.
-
08.03.2011 - 14:18 | STICKMAN71
I think the Dragon Ball Z and Anne Frank Crossover is far dumber.
-
American McGee's Nostalgia Critic FTW! LOL! I just loved Tenderheart being pwned by the Vorpal Blade there :D
But they left out the arcanic symbols on his apron, though I am sure they probably would have been hidden away judging by the posture however, the omega necklace is still a nice touch to give us hardcare Alice fans that lovely recognition.
And I am surprised that the NC didn't notice this but the rapping Cheshire Cat really seemed to have been placed there as rapping exposition if you ask me. Telling them the entire situation in a manner of minutes. I would think they could have had a better use of exposition when the queen explained to them later on instead of using the rapping cheshire cat.
-
08.03.2011 - 07:05 | kyon813Is it really that bad though? I read the book a few years ago and saw the movie when I was really little. I remember very little about it, but I have it was good, just disturbing.
-
08.03.2011 - 13:08 | Morgoth Bauglir
Can't any of you people just post that crap in the Forums?!
-
08.03.2011 - 23:05 | kconway1985
Before he does that, he should do the 4th Carebears Movie.
Yes, Nostalgia Critic. YOU ARE NOT FINISHED.
"Care Bears Nutcracker Suite…"
-
I smell a candidate for the Christmas season.
We all have to take dives in our job, Doug, it is not time to stop caring yet.
Just enjoy this time before the holiday season.
-
Taste the rainbow, mother fuckers. Taste the rainbow, indeed.
Yeeeaahh… As soon as I saw that chick’s picture at 3:16, I immediately thought of Princess Peach. I’m sorry, Mario, but your princess is in a crappy Care Bears movie? I dunno.. it could work.
I remember 3-Eyed Susie from down the street. She may be special, but not “like special” (Rad reference… ha).
To be honest, I kinda enjoyed the rap battle between the cat and dog. I’m not sure why, but it was a nice break from all the shit this movie tries to throw at ya. Even though the dog was from a different movie.. hey, why not throw it in there anyway?
On a production-related note, I noticed the same effect was used with the Cheshire cat as with all the other old cartoons. If an object has a pattern, it seems to use a masking effect where the pattern remains perfectly still even though the character is all over the place. Watch the Cheshire cat dance, and you’ll see how it never moves with the character. That effect always bugged me in cartoons, ever since I was little. That’s when I realized I’d grow up to be a cynical nitpicky bastard. Just like my all-time hero, Douchey.
And.. a pleasant Queen of Hearts. Well alright then. Now I’ve seen everything. If that’s the case, I think I’m gonna jump off my roof now. I won’t be landing though. I’ll be flying, see, because now anything and everything is possible. I have the Care Bears to thank for that. Evil Wizard, Queen Queen, Princess Princess... and Stan. Rheumatism?
-
Really? I just thought the Cheshire Cat was the Anti-Spiral's cousin or something.
Now THAT would have been an awesome crossover: Care Bears vs. Team Dai-Gurren.
-
08.03.2011 - 12:39 | Meiriona
Well, since, like every damn adaptation it seems, they lumped Wonderland and Looking Glass together, perhaps she was supposed to be the Red Queen from the latter, but went with the name everyone would know.
(ok, I know, not all lump together, but the ones that don't tend to be based on Looking Glass and are like "HEY LOOK, I READ THE BOOK. SEE HOW SMART I AM THAT I READ THE BOOK? SEE, I DIDN'T SPARKNOTES IT AT ALL!")
-
08.03.2011 - 21:28 | Sheranda
I read the book, and I don't even know what Sparknotes is.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:20 | illustral
I honestly don't understand people's fascination with the Care Bears. I didn't like them back when I thought Ferngully was a good movie, and I don't like them now.
And at 19:54, how did you get your face to turn "beet red?"
I guess all we can do now is hope that nobody decides to do a modern remake of this series. Because it's working so well for Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Smurfs.

I was wondering if you were gonna take a good gander at this film, even though you talked about it in your Top 11 Scariest Nostalgic Moments.
1:07- So, it’s like the “Beastmaster 2” of the Care Bears movie, I take it.
3:09- I love it when we both think of bunny boobies.
4:21- “Well, it’s a good feeling to know they’re up there doing their job.”
7:57- This should be “Transformers vs. Care Bears.” It may be a silly crossover story, but it’s LESS silly than seeing the Care Bears in Wonderland.
10:02- “How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll Center of a Tootsie Pop?”
12:10- It’s at this point of the video that I got a heart attack, called for an ambulance, got myself treated at the hospital, and came back home to watch the rest of the review.
Good thing that the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy gave The Emperor the name Palpatine.
17:00- Why do I feel like I should be watching “The Lord of the Rings” right now?
19:35- At least it’s not “Neverending Story 3” dumb (thank god).
It’s also good to know that NC won’t have to suffer watching the DTV Care Bear movies.
-
08.03.2011 - 22:38 | HalJordan"Good thing that the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy gave The Emperor the name Palpatine."
The Prequel Trilogy didn't give the Emperor the name Palpatine. Even though it wasn't mentioned in the Original trilogy, the name existed back then.
-
08.04.2011 - 22:10 | SpeedyEricWell, I first caught the name Palpatine in the Star Wars Original Trilogy Visual Dictionary when it was released in late 1998, which was during the time before Episode I was released.

08.02.2011 - 23:29 | Jackass Mask
And so it ends...unless you feel the need to dive into the show.
C'mon Critic! We demand a Raiders of The Story Arc on that silly show...assuming you can actually find a story arc.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:03 | Fanofyou
Dark Heart would have made this movie better. But at least we get......um that hungry bear guy.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:04 | TheDued92
Good god, care bear movies just spread like a virus.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:07 | DemonKaizoku
DD: Jesus christ! The evil wizard's face in that one split shot freaked the crap out of me. Every single time you showed it. Damnit, Critic. But, you're awesome. I can't wait for your next review. :)

Care Bears in Narnia?
Care Bears in Jerusalem?
Care Bears in Chinatown?
Care Bears vs. Street Fighter?
Care Bears Madoka Magica?
Neon Genesis Care Bears?
-
08.02.2011 - 22:35 | KingGramJohnson
All of those would be better than this! Care Bears in Narnia is my favorite. Mr. Beaver and Wood Heart are related, didn't you know that?
-
08.03.2011 - 02:40 | ender1200
I'd love to see Neon Genesis Care Bears.
-
08.03.2011 - 13:09 | Morgoth BauglirPooh's Adventures of the Care Bears. Nuff said. *vomits*
-
08.03.2011 - 14:25 | SpeedyEricLike I said in my original comment: Transformers vs. Care Bears, because of that scene with Tweedle-Ro and Tweedle-Bot.
-
08.04.2011 - 09:29 | baticus_moronicus
And Braveheart Lion is related to Aslan, only Aslan keeps quiet about it.
-
08.05.2011 - 22:33 | Spacedin
Care Bears vs Chuck Norris.... EPIC
-
There have been some Alice in Wonderland adaptions that have been very disrespectful to the source material, but at least they didn't include the GODDAMN CAREBEARS!!!!
Great review, though. Loved the bear salute.
-
Aren't there more Care Bears movies? Or are they not in the "Nostalgic" category yet? But luckily there are still two TV specials our there to review. Can't wait for next week.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:14 | Simian RadioOh boy. See, I had no idea that there was a third Care Bear movie, let alone the fact that it was based on Alice in Wonderland!
...which is why I regret to inform you that there is a FOURTH. And it is based on the Nutcracker Suite! I watched it fairly often around Christmastime when I was little. Here's the IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/ title/tt0928026/
My apologies for re-opening the wound so soon, and doing so with my bare, germ-covered fingers.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:22 | illustralI think it's safe to say that anyone can out-rap Kazaam.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:43 | nostalgia4everyonethat may be. but they still ain't no icccccceeee!

08.03.2011 - 00:50 | trlkly
What about Fred (Flinstone) from those nostalgic commercials?
-
08.02.2011 - 23:14 | FullofQuestions
I'm too young to have been a part of the Care Bears generation-guess I'm lucky. Although, to be fair, my generation suffers from the post-traumatic stress of having watched Barney.
Also, when I saw the Wizard in the Top 11 Scariest Nostalgic Moments, I did not realize that he was male; that was a big shock for me. For god's sake, he's got styled hair and a dress.
And yeah, that face is the reason that I'm up past midnight commenting on this video. But Samara Morgan's face is still creepier.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:18 | Jof12788
This is probably the best Care Bears review thus far. I loved your reaction to the rap off between the Cheshire Cat and the Rapping Dog from Titanic. Of course none of them come close to "Pig Power in tha house!" Also the villains demonic face was scary as hell.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:23 | MechaDon1980
OMG!! I can see why this movie is the worst of the 3.
-
08.03.2011 - 07:32 | ladydisketteThis third movie actually makes the second one a better and well-thought out story by comparison.
-
08.03.2011 - 21:24 | LikaLarukuWrongo; there are well over 7 Care Bears movies & a TV series. Wonderland & Nutcracker were regarded as the BEST Nelvana Care Bears Tetrology by moms & spinsters. You get to the ones done by Atkinson Film Arts instead of Nelvana & you have just dived headfirst into a pile of shit.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:24 | DisneyOtoko
Another excellent review critic. Can't wait for the next one.

A rapping Cheshire Cat...Big Lipped Alligator Moment?
-
08.02.2011 - 22:26 | illustralNot quite. He reappears later on to tell Princess Peach to use her heart.

08.02.2011 - 22:24 | AllisonTheSNLGuru"Taste the rainbow, motherf***ers!"
That line never gets old - I have been hearing it in my head randomly for a while.
I was 4 years old when this hit theaters, and while I didnt see it in the theater, I'm not even sure if I saw this on video. I probably did, but my memory doesn't serve. And considering what I saw displayed in this film, I'm not surprised.
I have no problem with the first Care Bears Movie. There, I said it. The second one has a cute song during the closing credits, but is otherwise quite disturbing. This installment doesnt quite equal up to the creepy factor that "The Care Bears nad In Land Without Feelings" strives for (I would love to see Critic's take on that one). I was terrified of that ultra dark TV special way back when, and seeing it as an adult, I figured out why - Coldheart's slave peoplez, and the bad animation are scare-inducing. This movie could have some easily scary moments for the youngsters.
I'm not surprised this movie didn't do well, it just has "cinematic fail" written all over it.
Oh, and the "gangsta sign bear" was hilarious! :-)
-
08.02.2011 - 22:29 | Arvelos76
Please review Titanic 2...
Please please please please please!

08.03.2011 - 13:10 | Morgoth BauglirNo.

-
08.02.2011 - 22:31 | G-MAN Critic
TASTE THE RAINBOW MOTHERF***ER! Epic line.
I saw that rapping dog and cat comparison coming from a mile away. :P But they aren't as good as Kazaam or Pig Power in the House though.
And wow, that scary wizard face really does work as a screamer XD
Somebody should also alert Mario that the princess was ripped off in another franchise's castle.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:33 | alexthed
It's funny you should mention that song ripped off the melody from the Meaning of Life. I watched it on Youtube to see you-know-what what and I could never put my finger on where I heard the melody before.
Also, the Cheshire Cat is a much better rapper than the dog.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:33 | OggyI can't understand what would motivate them to make a third Care Bears movie. Did they honestly think it would do better than the other two pieces of crap? It's even like it was deep or insightful or anything even remotely connected to caring, which is kind of the Care Bears stick.
Anyway, great review Critic. Still hoping you'll find it in your schedule to review King Ralph. That movie deserves to be torn a new one.
-
08.03.2011 - 21:04 | LikaLarukuSame thing that motivates Hollywood & video game producers to turn movies into franchises Bub; money. The fact that they were still making CB movies in the 21st century suggests that Care Bears was making some.

3: Turn the damned Caps Lock button off.
-
08.03.2011 - 21:41 | SherandaWhat dog octopus movie? Is it about a dog and an octopus, or a freakish dog-octopus hybrid? I'd look it up, but I don't know the title. You seem to know about it, Morgoth.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:41 | animengu54Great Review however there is one more care bear review I think you should try doing this December. I'm recommending this December you should try to review the Care Bears Christmas Special titled "Care Bears Nutcracker Suite" look it up

08.02.2011 - 22:44 | moviemaster8510
I was hoping during the scary face in the trailer part, you would have done the joke with more trailers like the Insidious trailer.
-
08.02.2011 - 22:46 | BountyHuntress16I was all excited to recommend the Nutcracker Care Bears movie because I loved it so as a child...and then saw everyone else had already.
My life as an internet comment-maker is in shambles.
