History YMMV / CareBearsMovieIIANewGeneration

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Dark Heart and Christy are probably [[EvilIsCool the most fondly remembered parts of the movie]]. Dark Heart has his fun [[LargeHam hammy personality]] and [[MemeticMutation memetic lines]]. The fact that he's shown to be a legitimate threat and to have some complexity (for a ''Care Bears'' villain) [[spoiler:with his eventual redemption through his caring for Christy]] also help. As his [[TheDragon Dragon]], Christy benefits from Dark Heart's popularity, and also from her sympathetic motivations and [[spoiler:eventual HeelRealization and redemption]]. Finally, the two characters' [[ShipTease dynamic]] helps their popularity, [[FanPreferredCouple as it gives fuel to shippers]].
* EvilIsCool: Why some viewers end up rooting for Dark Heart and Christy.

* OneSceneWonder: Despite his lack of screen time, some fanfic writers have expanded upon the Great Wishing Star's role as a BigGood.

* TearJerker: The ending musical number.

* EvilIsSexy: Yes, ''Dark Heart'' has a {{Fangirl}} following.

* FanPreferredCouple: Fans of the movie usually ship Dark Heart and Christy.

** Christy

** FridgeBrilliance here - now that Christy's been a jerk to everybody as Camp Champ, if she loses her new abilities it won't just be that people will think she's a loser; they'll know that she's also a jerk and treat her accordingly. No wonder she doesn't want to go back to being normal.

* FanPreferredCouple: Dark Heart and Christy, big time.

--->'''Dark Heart:''' [[spoiler: Oh no... [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone what have I done!?]]]]
* {{Wangst}}: If you didn't think Christy's woes over being bad at sports were understandable.
** In all fairness, it's not just sports, [[HeroicSelfDeprecation she doesn't think she's good at ANYTHING]]. Sports are just the focus since she's at camp.
** Also, keep in mind that Christy's peers kept looking down on her and making fun of her for not being good at sports. It was as much ''the result of'' not being good at sports that drove Christy over the edge, not the mere fact that she wasn't good at sports.
*** Of course, this also led to her agreeing to ''kidnap others'' so that she wouldn't lose her prowess at sports, which places it pretty firmly in this category.
*** Though to be fair, she was apprehensive about helping him until she saw Dark Heart brutalizing one of her fellow campers; she was probably genuinely scared that Dark Heart would not only take back her new skills but hurt her as well.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: After Dark Heart has spent the entire movie looking either sour or smug, it’s hard not to smile at the look of unmistakable joy on his face when he finds out [[spoiler: Christy is going to be okay.]]

* RetroactiveRecognition: The voice actress for Dawn is a young Alyson Court, who would later go on to star as Loonette on ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch''.

* {{Narm}}: "Time for a game of disappearing bears." Doubles as MemeticMutation, due to the fact that Dark Heart's VA was practically impersonating Creator/ChristopherWalken.
