Grumpy bear is probably my favorite bear. He's the ur example of chaotic good, and brings in a lot of moral complexity--he cares about others, but his own unhappiness begs the question--does he care about himself? How can he fight for good cheer if he has none? Does he use his own suffering to inflict suffering on people worse than him, such as the Rat King?

[@kylemorello4787]

And he has an actual persona, unlike the other bears, aside from Secret Bear (where was she anyway in these sequels? She was adorable, and my second favorite).

[@jesuis6068]

Grumpy Bear has always been my favorite bear (I don't know why but I've always had a thing for grumpy characters... Even as a kid I couldn't stand all this rainbow magic and so found the grumpy one relatable), but now you've brought a level of depth to his character I didn't expect. I need to go watch this movie again just for him.

[@_12k70]

Maybe is not that Grumpy Bear is unhappy, but instead he fears that, if he shows too much weakness, he'll end up allowing the people he TRULLY CARE to be hurt

[@aceofflames4572]

I love how three people in a row took that seriously XD

Originally the care bears were used to express your own emotions. Sleepy? Snuggle up with Good Night Bear. Happy? Cheer Bear's your girl! But grumpy, an emotion many kids feel- have Grumpy Bear. He was always my favorite too. :)

I'm not calling him out in that Douchy McNitpick sort of way either, I just thought it would be worth noting with the elephant.

I'll admit, I find them interesting now and then, and I actually like his editorials but I won't hold it against him for continuing the NC out of necessity to keep business going.

[@PalmerDudeGamingChannel]

i really dont see that much of a difference tbh sure he was different back then but unlike many other content creators i think he did change for the better, and alot of those old jokes were kind of forced, non-sensical and a tad unfunny i mean the one with the pumpkin was random as hell

[@83staceyann]

+TheDreReichDude Yeah, but can't people change their minds and form new opinions or ideas? I'd get bored if the content creators I love never grew or evolved. Maybe pointing it out with the elephant or Mr. McNitpick would be a fun wink, acknowledging the change in his previously stated idea... but sometimes that's irritating (not with NC specifically but with anyone who is like: I'm pointing this out, so now that makes it okay - but really it's so I can make the joke first and take the wind out of the sails of all the commenters who would do it if I didn't) and it also highlighting that he is doing something he said he wouldn't - which would only rally the "YOU'VE CHANGED!" chorus more. ...Well, that was going to be my two cents but I've rambled on about a half-dollar's worth now!

I wanted to mention this here instead of the Dark Toons episodes, because this fits more thematically here. While Care Bears was never really dark, I do miss the weird moments that the earlier specials and series had, such as Coldheart and his creepy child servants, and No Heart making a threat of eating Gentle Heart Lamb in the form of a tiger. There were some really good WTF moments in a show that was so light hearted and sweet to the point of being near saccharine. I think it could be hilarious to have a compilation of the darkest Care Bear segments on this channel, even if he doesn't exactly "care" about reviewing the franchise anymore.

[@retrofan4963]

Care Bears franchise used to not be afraid showing dark moments and show some dark themes behind the villains in the early days of the Care Bears. In the early DIC Care Bears show, Professor Cold Heart does some really messed up stuff to enslaved kids. And the Spirit Book from Care Bears Movie 1, Dark Heart from Care Bears Movie 2, and No Heart clearly shows demonic forces both thematically and in their actions to posses people to commit doing evil deeds, which is up to the Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins to stop. Their scary and dark vibes heavily contrasted with the lighthearted and friendly vibe of the Care Bears, which in result, Care Bears stories used to have actual stakes at one point. I do agree that Care Bears is never a really dark franchise, but I also agree with you that they used to be not be afraid having dark elements at times. I feel ever since Season 2 of the Care Bears Family is where the Care Bears franchise started to subtly heavily tone down the darkness thanks to No Heart and his demonic shadows having less presence in the show only be replaced by Shrieky being the dominant villain and the modern Care Bears stuff afterwards sugar-coated even further. You can even tell by the Care Bears films how the Care Bears franchise tone down the dark elements over time. Care Bears: Adventures in Wonderland and Care Bears; Nutcracker are nowhere near as dark and high in stakes compared to Care Bears Movie 1 and 2.

Hoax Slayer It was better than the second one, at least. And Robin Williams had a very nice speech in his final speaking scene before he passed away. Though his other final scene was shamelessly edited in from the first one (possibly because he wasn't there for the final day of shooting).

[@alfredroman5801]

You can stop at anytime. The Care Bears movies are never ending.

I argue they get worse over time. Care Bears Movie 1 and 2 are the peak as the best Care Bears movies, and even these are no masterpieces either.

[@TennantJunkie1993]

It's not a fetish, I think it's a Christmas coming of age. A rite of passage, as it were. Basically, when it's a care bear's first most memorable Christmas, they need to find something that can be turned into an ornament. But it needs to be chosen because it means something special to them.

[@ImaNerdANDaGeek]

I didn't think Annie was that bad, Dated, not a lot of depth and very fluffy, but not bad. Although once I saw it was a Sony film my expectations were set pretty low.

[@bigboomer1013]

I have always wondered the same thing about grumpy. But this just came to mind, what if he is a part of all this because he can relate to the grumpy unhappy kids and then help them cope with their grumpiness and then make them happy? Maybe he can even get really angry people to not get violent or something

[@lindsaylawson6038]

I didn't know Grenda became a director!

This was legit one of my favorite movies when I was little. Would watch it on repeat all year round.
