Nightmare Fuel / The Care Bears Movie

• The purple entity that Nicholas conjures to chase after the Carebears, starts off as a cloud with a set of menacing eyes yellow sclera with green irises with slit pupils. It is capable of both possession and shape-shifting- turning into a barracuda that spins a whirlpool to nearly drown the Carebears then possessing a tree with the intent to strangle Kim and Jason to death with increasingly deranged expressions. When this fails, it turns into a massive bird that would've done much harm to the two of them had the Carebears not destroyed it in time. And It is never played for comedy much like its master.
  • The white entity with a ghoulish face appears very briefly once he casts the final spell and swats the Carebears away. It manages to be more nightmarish than the purple cloud due to its more unearthly design.
• Nicholas coming out to meet the Care Bears, glowing, holding the evil book, eerie music in the background, is a fairly terrifying scene. As Nicholas speaks in an unexpectedly commanding tone as he nearly gives himself over to the evil spirit completely, flowed by a soft, unsure "Nicholas?!" from Cozy Heart.
  • There's also a moment when he whispers where Jason and Nicholas are in a menacing voice.
• The Spirit is a spirit of implied demonic origin, being sealed away in a book. She "befriends" Nicholas, a lonely boy who wants friends, and convinces him to turn her magic on the town and eventually the entire world, removing everyone's positive feelings and making them violent and hateful- with the implied result being an anarchic hellhole of misanthropy and nihilism- the implied "lesson" the Spirit wanted to spread. While the other villains have the same goals in mind, none of them come to succeed as it does. And unlike succeeding villains, is a very dark and menacing force that jarringly contrasts with the cutesy world of the Carebears.
  • The sheer fact that there's no indication of its origins outside of its hatred of caring, leaving the question who or what the Spirit actually was.
  • By the movie's end, Nicholas has gone completely crazy and power-mad, and she comes within two people in the entire world of destroying Care-a-Lot forever. Many modern-day reviews have expressed amazement at the Magic Is Evil plot, with special attention paid to the scene where Nicholas chases Kim and Jason through the funhouse with the intent to kill/seriously injure them.
  • It starts off with a yellow color scheme with yellow irises that give it a seemingly benign air before it inverts its color scheme into its iconic yellow sclera with green skin complete with shading to give it an eerily realistic appearance.
  • The funhouse itself, has a crazed clown face as an entrance and is filled with very distorted imagery of deranged faces. It's accompanied by an eerily dissonant and threatening song.
  • Towards the climax, Nicholas out of nowhere gives a warped angry face with interchanging black and white circles in his eyes.
• Care-A-Lot slowly crumbling apart due to the lack of caring. The previously saccharine realm is gradually crumbling away with visible fissures getting gradually bigger, counted down by a low and dissonant ring from the meter- a symbolic clock counting to its destruction. Had things not been stopped, it would've led to a potentially apocalyptic disaster.
