Includes:The Care Bears Movie (1985), MPAA Rating: G Stellaluna (2004), MPAA Rating: G The Care Bears Movie In a film designed to bring smiles to the post-toddler set on up to perhaps their seven-year-old siblings, this animated story by Arna Selznick (only the third woman in cinematic history to direct a full-length animated feature) is about the popular Care Bears. These loving creatures inhabit a realm in the clouds called Care-A-Lot, and their purpose in life is to get the humans down below to share their good feelings with each other. They watch over human children with large telescopes and help those children who need help. The Care Bears have their work cut out for them, because Nicolas, a lonely magician's assistant, is about to fall under the evil influence of a bad spirit who lives in an ancient magic book -- it seems Nicolas will do just about anything for friends. Aside from Nicolas, Kim (Cree Summer) and Jason (Sunny Besen Thracher) are in trouble because they are starting not to trust people after suffering many disappointments. Mickey Rooney is the voice of Mr. Cherrywood, the owner of an orphanage. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide Stellaluna A youngster learns some important lessons about being different from those around you in this animated adaptation of Janell Cannon's book for children. Stellaluna is a young fruit bat who gets lost and can't find her mother. Not knowing how to get home, Stellaluna is befriended by a family of birds, and she soon grows close to the hatchlings as if they're her siblings; however, even if Stellaluna can fly like a bird, it becomes increasingly obvious that she's a different sort of critter with different ways of doing things. Can Stellaluna learn to be more like her friends, or will she hold on to the qualities that make her what she is? ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
