History WesternAnimation / CareBearsMovieIIANewGeneration

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: The star god character observes that Noble Heart and True Heart have such a powerful ability to love and care, it's effectively given them this.

* BigGood: The giant talking star. Whomever he is and whatever his motivations for finding Trueheart and Noble Heart, we'll never know.

* NoNameGiven: It's never explained just who - or ''what'' - the giant talking star is. Little Star Buddy and Little Heart Buddy apparently work for him, and he seems to be narrating the film, but beyond that? Not so much as a hint.

* NotSoDifferent: The EstablishingCharacterMoment for the camp is pretty much the "camp champ," who wins at every sport, treating Christy, Dawn, and John (and likely the other campers) like dirt for coming in last. What happens when Christy starts winning? She ''does the same thing'' to the others, with the exception of [[PetTheDog Dawn and John]].
** Though it's heavily implied that Dawn and John were the only people who were never mean to Christy before she became Camp Champ, so it could also be a case of PayEvilUntoEvil.

* RealityEnsues: When he's fully explaining to Christy about his plan to confront True Heart and Noble Heart, Dark Heart stands up and boasts that then there'll be nobody left to stop him...problem is, he does his grandstanding in the middle of a boat on the camp's lake, and this action proceeds to upset the boat badly enough that Dark Heart stumbles and falls out, hitting his head on the boat's side, and he would have drowned right there if Christy hadn't jumped in to save him.
** What's more, Dark Heart does this while he's a human boy. Now normally, this wouldn't happen to a smoke of darkness. But a human? [[MortalityEnsues He's not so lucky]].

* AMinorKidroduction: The movie begins with the Care Bears and the Care Bear Cousins as cubs. They become their current age during the second half of the movie.

* ShoutOut: Dark Heart's rescuing of Christy from her DisneyDeath is reminiscent to the book and stage versions of ''Theatre/PeterPan'', where the eponymous character uses a similar method to save Tinkerbell.
** In fact, the whole interaction with Christy and Dark Heart is extremely similar to ''{{Literature/Faust}}''. This and the above example did not go unnoticed by critics or WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic.

* ShipTease: [[spoiler: Human!Dark Heart and Christy]] seem to have this at the end, what with all the hand-holding and such.

* ShoutOut: Dark Heart's rescuing of Christy from her DisneyDeath is reminiscent to the 1953 film ''Disney/PeterPan'', where the eponymous character uses a similar method to save Tinkerbell.

* AdultsAreUseless: In this case, completely absent. One would expect there to be counselors ''somewhere'' at the camp. Instead, a JerkJock character seems to call the shots, ordering Christy and the twins to pick up litter.

This film has a different continuity than the first movie and the specials. The Care Bears and Care Bears Cousins grew up together, but were pursued as children by a malevolent entity known as Dark Heart. He later finds a young, ambitious, and very bitter girl named Christy, and he promises to fulfill her wishes in return for help if he should ever ask. He then gets frustrated in pursuit of the Care Bears, but then uses Christy to have her pretend to need help from the Care Bears so that he can capture them. Eventually, John and Dawn, Christy's two best friends who have been helping the Care Bears, talk Christy into joining them to stop Dark Heart, even if it costs them their lives.[[note]]This part is only really implied, though. Don't forget what we're watching here.[[/note]]

* CollapsingLair: [[spoiler:Dark Heart's lair after he becomes human.]] If the PowerOfFriendship is what fuels the Care Bear's powers, then apparently his lair is held together with the PowerOfEvil.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: [[spoiler:The Bears and Cousins [[NoFourthWall exhort the audience]] to chant "We care!" along with them to save Christy, who made a HeroicSacrifice. Even the [[HeelFaceTurn repentant villain]] Dark Heart breaks down and joins in, and not only saves her, he winds up becoming [[BecomeARealBoy a nice human boy]].]] Reviewer Hal Lipper referred to this as the "Tinker Bell Principle" in his review of the movie.

* VillainousFriendship: Dark Heart and Christy.

* AMinorKidtroduction: The movie begins with the Care Bears and the Care Bear Cousins as cubs. They become their current age during the second half of the movie.

* AdultsAreUseless: In this case, completely absent. One would expect there to be counselors ''somewhere'' at the camp...

* ContinuitySnarl: Exactly how this movie -- and it's an OriginStory -- fits in with the first ''Care Bears Movie'' is [[WMG/TheCareBears a prime source of tongue-in-cheek]] FanWank. Most likely the first movie is in the same continuity as the two 1980s specials and the [=DiC=] show, and the second movie and the Nelvana series comprise an AlternateContinuity.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Dark Heart in human form. [[spoiler:Them turning normal is the first sign that he's turned into a real human]].
