Care Bears: The Giving Festival is a 2010 Canadian-American computer-animated fantasy film starring the Care Bears characters.[1] It was made by SD Entertainment[2] and released on DVD by Lionsgate[3] on November 2, 2010.[4] In the film, the Care Power Team—which includes Funshine Bear, Cheer Bear and Share Bear—organizes their annual Giving Festival, and must rescue a princess named Starglo from impending weather.[2]

Release

The DVD of The Giving Festival features an episode of the CBS series, Adventures in Care-a-lot, containing the stories "Belly Blanked" and "All Give and No Take".[5][6]

Reception

As of November 2010, the film has received mixed reviews. C.S. Strowbridge of The Numbers, a box-office tracking website, said that it "is exactly what you would expect from the Care Bears. It's not exactly a feature-length film, and it feels a little episodic, but it is bright and full of adventure."[5] Writing for DVD Talk, Paul Mavis gave it one star out of five. Deeming it "Dishonest right from the get-go", he also said, "When I want a Care Bears Christmas movie ... and I do ... I want it to actually be about Christmas, not some wishy-washy P.C. 'Giving Festival' euphemism."[6]
