Care Bears: Share Bear Shines

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this animated space adventure for preschoolers focuses very heavily on the concept of faith. While there's no overt religious content, the storyline could easily be interpreted as a religious lesson: Share Bear staunchly believes in the existence of Princess Starglo (an otherworldy force with powers over the sun and stars), even when the other Care Bears don't feel the same -- though her unwavering stance convinces the others to join in her cause. Overall, the values of teamwork, friendship, and, especially, belief, are stressed throughout.
