I began the morning with cereal, a half of grapefruit, and The Care Bears Movie. The Bears' first appearance on the big screen has them helping a trio of orphans having problems with trust and making friends. A trip to Care-A-Lot quickly gets the message through to brother-sister duo Kim and Jason. Nicholas, a clumsy magician's apprentice, is less lucky. Before the Bears can talk to him, he finds a spell book possessed by an evil spirit that takes control of his mind. Now the Bears, the kids, and their new friends the Care Bear Cousins have to stop Nicholas from destroying all the love and happiness in the world...and destroying Care-A-Lot in the process.
Like the Rainbow Brite movie and original My Little Pony specials, this is surprisingly dark for a girl-oriented franchise from the 80s. The spirit in the book is genuinely nightmarish, especially towards the end. Kids will still like it (and will be more likely to overlook the obviously cheap and poorly done animation); just have a hand to hold for them when the spirit in the book is on.
I spent the rest of the day at work. Work was pretty much the same as yesterday - steady to busy for most of the evening. There were a few annoying people, including one guy who begged to use his 10 dollar coupon that expired yesterday on his nine-dollar order. Otherwise, I was in and out.
