After Doug mentioned that he was curious about who voiced Darkheart, I looked him up. The Actor's name is Hadley Kay and much to my surprise he was in a TON of awesome movies and TV series, both animated and live action. He was one of the kids (bradley) in meatballs and he voice acted in a ton of nostalgic 80's shows; Ewoks, inspector gadget and the raccoons (which, if you're canadian like me, is pretty damn nostalgic) and he's still voice acting today.
It may prove to be difficult, but Doug should try to contact him, not so much for a cameo appearance (though that would be cool), but to get a recording of him saying the line "Time for a game of Disappearing Bears" as a neat little tidbit to put in an NC episode.
***** That's cool! Can you link me? I checked the channel awesome comment section but I couldn't find it.
Yeah, apparently he was in Superman 2 as well
Alex Rees You mean DARRRRRRRRRK HEARRRRRRRRT!
What I like about these two is that they will see the quality and merit of a movie or show that wasn't marketed to them. They were talking about how great the atmosphere and animation was in the first Care Bears movie. Honestly, I have to respect someone who doesn't just scoff and roll their eyes at what is basically cutesy schlock made for five-year-old girls, but instead sees that while obviously it isn't that great by adult movie standards, there is a quality and merit to these types of movies/shows that kids watch for a reason.
Many people use the "It's for kids" excuse to justify a bad kids' movie, but that's not an excuse. While something can be for kids with little to offer for adults, that doesn't mean that kids' movies can't have effort or thought put into them.
And if it teaches basic concepts like kindness and respect- which is something adults can learn from, honestly- then that's also great. I should clarify that children should not be gleaning all of their morals and lessons from television, but it's harmless if they do learn kindness from watching Care Bears or My Little Pony.
***** There are "kids" movies that are far more adult and mature and respectful of their subject than most "adult" fare I've seen.
Dude, well said.
***** Loved that review. It's a good point he made there.
+RyanX1231 Definitely. If this show were released nowadays, everybody would just blanket accuse the fanbase of being pedophiles.
Agreed
As sappy as Care Bears was, it did manage to be pretty epic. The villains were definitely a strong point. That evil book will never leave my memories.
If you remove the Care Bears, it’s honestly a pretty good premise for a horror movie
yeah the old my little pony was the same. Have you ever seen their TV special with that demon that was kidnapping ponies for his chariot?
@@avivastudios2311 exactly personally I think that '80s Care Bears and 2010s MLP are basically one in the same but one is directed to 5 and up year olds and the other is directed to either 5-year-olds or people who grew up with it in the past but regardless they're pretty much the same but with some key differences
There's a reason why The Chipmunk Adventure's animation is surprisingly good - Glen Keane, who did the animation for The Beast in Beauty and the Beast and Ariel in The Little Mermaid worked on it.
***** That explains a lot.
Also Ron Dias and some of the laid off animators after the Black Cauldron.
Fun Fact: the voice of Nicolas and Darkheart is actually the Niagara falls kid from Superman 2
I think he fell in superman 2 because he wanted to forget about these movies
Troopcaptain you mean DARRRRRRRRK HEARRRRRRRRT!
So Superman saved DAAAAARK HEEEEAAAAART? Maybe the kid had enough of his neglectful parents that he stopped caring, ran away and became Fettuccini's assistant to learn black magic, used it to rewrite history so that he'd be the Care Bears' mortal enemy.
Explains why he fell in the lake. 😐
The Care Bears films' obsession with a "Don't fuck with the dark arts" message has always amused me, and always will.
Sailor Sedna Don't you mean the DARRRRRRRRK side?
Here's a summary of their thoughts on the movies
1: Better than it should have been
2: DAAARKHEEEEAAARRRT
3: kind of goofy but also not good
4: Ninja turtles and acid flashbacks
in the matter of Toy Story 3, Lotso is near unanimously considered a Complete Monster. most people will say his fate is 100% deserved.
No he didn't; he deserved far worse!
*TIME TO PLAY A GAME OF DISAPPEARING BEARS*
*time for a game of disappearing bears
+captainprotag0nist THIS IS NOT OVER. BEARS!
***** not bears its DARRK HEAAARRRT!
Lemons to the rescue
Cave Johnson arent u dead
Anyone else find it creepy that a thousand year old monster (Darkheart) was attracted to a 10 year kid.
Darkheart is really creepy
TheMudkipdudechannel "This is a lot like those Twilight movies" "NO, IT'S NOT! WE'RE BUTCH COMPARED TO THAT SHIT!"
TheMudkipdudechannel Seeing as pedophilia is evil, it's not that farfetched
Torterra
Huge difference between 17 and 10 years old...also I don't see how Michael Bay and Pedophilia have anything in common unless you know some thing i don't
milking cow suprise rule 1 do not talk fight club
TheMudkipdudechannel Yeah. That's even creepier than Twilight.
Let's be fair about Toy Story 3: If I recall that movie right, they offered to give Lotso a second chance when they were all on the smelter, but he rejected it and tried to screw them all over again. The movie probably would have been nicer to him if he had a legitimate turnaround, but he kind of earned his sad ending there.
And, to be fair to Woody's group, they didn't do that to him, like they did to Stinky Pete (who actually ended up being happy where he was sent), it was the Truck Driver, so they really didn't shit on him. He just got what was coming to him.
The reason Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2 was so upset was because, all his life, he was considered mint in the box (I say "considered" because its revealed [SPOILERS] that he can get out of his box whenever he wants). When the Barbie Doll turns her head to talk to Pete and shows her painted face, it's revealed that his mint status will be forever ruined, due to the girl's implied tendancy to paint and glitter her toys. It's subtle (it took me a few tries), but it makes sense.
Today I heard someone say The Care Bear Movie didn't puss out. What an odd day.
it was happy day for me.
I love how Two Middle Aged Men can make a Half-Hour Video on whether or not the Care Bears is good
I will say this for Care Bears...it may be an over-sweetened franchise, but the movies do have legitimately creepy villians. At least in the first two movies. The third one was made purely of ham. And the songs were catchy.
The 3rd was just a fun adventure movie but the songs were still good.
@@cb82fan I WILL say this....Care Bears in Wonderland is a better adaptation of the classic Alice in Wonderland story than the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland.
The production values for the 2nd movie were definitely higher than the first, though - more vibrant colors, smoother animation, and a singer that actually seemed to give a crap. The plot, however... yeah, little cliche, but I'm a sucker for the redemption story.
I loves it when Rob compared Christy to Anakin.
Doug and Rob forget that in those Toy Story films, they tried to get Stinky Pete and Lotso to go the peaceful route. They offered Stinky Pete a life with Andy and they saved Lotso on the conveyor belt but both of them ended up trying to destroy Woody and the gang so they got what they deserved because they rejected a friendly offer in favor of vengeance.
7:47 I might agree with Stinky Pete maybe getting a raw deal but Lots-o-Huggin Bear got EXACTLY what he deserved.
I have always had this crazy head canon that Dark Heart was No Heart's son, that would make for some interesting fan fic if anyone wants to run with it.
I'd really like to see a "Real Thoughts" Video on the Cartoon Allstars Drug Special. Not only is it the first review in the NC format (the transformers review was more like a bum review) but I'm sure Doug and Rob would have a lot to say about it.
I'd love to see them talk about The Odd Life of Timothy Green or The Magic Voyage.
Simon: Marijuana.
20:24 I love Rob's face after Doug says "Mrs. Walker was kinda hot."
DAAAAARKHEAAAAAART
It's kind of adorable seeing Rob and Doug get so into these movies! Makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
10:57 - synchronized umming. I laughed so hard.
Doug seems to really like it when the kid shows stick to their guns on the "violence isn't the solution" message. He's going to _love_ Steven when they start that series.
The voice of Penny is actress Cree Summer and she also lends her voice in both Care Bear films,
Care bare? Sounds like a nice film to watch alone.... If you know what I mean.
+Simon Hilsinger I wrote that comment before they corrected the typo.
I loved the Roger Rabbit joke they did with the frist movie. It scared me as a kid (both scenes) but seeing them combined as an adult is hilarious ;)
Funny you mention that the Chipmunk Adventure had such fluid animation, since Glen Keane, one of the best disney animators ever, worked on it.
Carebears _is_ my early childhood. I had so many of the stuffed toys that my brother and I would use them as ammo in our Care-Bear fights
At 23, in 1984, when the first came out, I was too old for such kids's stuff...I'm just hearing Doug recall being dragged to it...glad I didn't have to be dragged to it..glad Doug survived.:) Cheers!
Doug really likes his No Fear shirt. It'll be too heavy to wear down hear in the U.S. home of crazy.
Rob's facial expression at 22:54 was hilarious!
"DAAAAAARRRKHEEEAAAAAAART!!"
ChaosMaelstrom time for a game of Disappearing bears.
If anyone wants to know what the actress voicing the Evil Spirit looks like, you can watch the Road To Avonlea TV show. It is a great late 80s/early 90s drama. Jackie Burroughs is the name of the actress and she plays the character of Hetty King. Anyway, THAT show WAS enjoyable and quite good, the Care Bears were NOT.
care bears movies are strange and silly but they have ideas and concepts that could make an awesome movie if they had better writers. Like dark heart, the evil book, the different lands and much more.
This is one of my favourite reviews thanks.
we need a friendship is magic reboot for care bears, so much potential
The Care Bear stare, it only works when it wants to work.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Care Bears...most random crossover ever."
Yeah, I can one-up that. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (and Venus) crossing over with the Power Rangers.
***** It's not TMNT, but if you want a truly random crossover, you can't really get more bizarre than "Archie vs. Predator". This is a real thing that's going on right now.
Kefkaesque13
Are you saying that the Ninja Turtles DIDN'T do a crossover with the Power Rangers?
***** No they did, I'm just saying that that's honestly not that strange when compared to a crossover between Archie and the Predator.
***** TMNT crossed over with Power Rangers (One of the better ones like Dino Charge or Wild Force) crossed over with Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger crossed over with Avatar: The Last Airbender
Do fanfics count?
I don't care what anyone says I loved the second Care Bears Movie. I grew up with it as a kid. Never understood it being called II when it seemed like an origin story. Never heard of the first film. I thought it was a mistake in the title until only a few years ago when I learned of the other one. But I love seeing them as babies, getting their symbols, growing up. I really wanted to go to that land. It seemed so fun to ride on clouds and rainbows. I loved the big scale of it and I actually found a lot of the songs in it very good and so catchy. I had a crush on Dark Heart. There are some similarities there between him and Jareth from Labyrinth. Anyway it's a childhood film that I'm still very fond of.
The brotherly love is real here. It's beautiful.
I love how that taste the rainbow meme works for mlp too infact the two toy lines are a lot a like. pastel colors, pictures that represent your name on your bdy, rainbow friendship attack beams...
sasamichan And what appears to be the living version of a Kinetic Bombardment.
sasamichan It's basically the ultimate weapon in equestria
Real Thoughts... the magic voyage
10:57 Double "ummmm" in perfect brotherly harmony
care bears takes place in multiple realities with some minor differences.
Care bears is more complex than danny darko
Hadley Kay, the voice of Nicholas and Dark Heart WAS born in Canada!!!!!!!
arizonatsunami DARRRRRRRRRRRK HEARRRRRRRRT!
The actor who played Dark Heart in Care Bears Movie II is Hadley Kay, and yes, he's actually from Toronto.
Joe Weatherford DARRRRRRRRRK HEARRRRRRRT!
Interesting fact, when Enron started (or rather, slapped together) their broadband/video streaming service, The Care Bears movie was the only thing they ever sold on it.
Doug's shirt, man. Blast from the past :D
I never heard of "Care bare movie"
***** Watch the review.
someone's not a 90's child
You guys should review a Croatian animated movie, The Elm-Chanted Forest. It's like, a kids movie and so far the only croatian movie to ever get an English dub.
I really like the second one because of DARKHEART!.
Do Good Burger!!!
is incredible the one I recall the most was tge 2nd one, why? DARKHEART! funny how darkheart fits the SouthPark episode about Ginger kids, just look at Darkheart human form lol Red hair, red eyes, even Red matching sporting outfit, all he needed was a pitchfork lol
Your view on the care bears is similar to my view of Yu GI Oh. I Loved Yu GI Oh as a kid and then realised fairly recently that the TV show is actually pretty silly (Billionaire steals an old man because of a children's playing card?), yet somehow a lot better than the movie (billionaire kidnaps a kid, should we call the police?....nope)
Doug, what do you think "bareback" is?
Nicolas and Darkheart's voice actor is named Hadley Kay, and from what I meant, he currently plays an uncle character on Stranger Things.
Red Rodri It's DARRRRRRRRRRK HEARRRRRRRRT!
Frankly, I think the Toy Story movies had villains that got off easy. Stinky Pete got so desperate he tried to dismember Woody, and they just shipped him off. Lotso let them all burn in the furnace, and they decided not to chase him or hunt him down. He just ran into a trucker that tied him to the grate. Call it karma.
I want to say that's an Ontario accent-I was in Ontario last year, and it's kind of a midwestern/Philly/New York thing going on there.
I do have to admit the first movie was the only decent one.
I'm surprised you guys didn't talk more about the Wonderland and Nutcracker films-those were just lazily bad. Did the Care Bears have anything to do with the plots? They both had really terrible, confusing plots, and yet they were still better than the 3D Nutcracker or the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland.
I'd like the real thoughts on the Alice in Wonderland film, by the way. One of my favorite reviews and one of my least favorite movies.
"Manchurian Candidate their asses!" Loved that line.
They're bringing back Care Bears but they have still, to my knowledge, never brought back Rainbow Brite? WHY!?!
Lydia Tarine Well ... they had some sort of attempt ... Last year there was a very short lived cartoon series of 3 episodes, which tried to copy the MLP feeling and before in 2010 they released 3 ugly and super cheap made dolls to test the market for more. Complete failure ...
"Time for a game of disappearing bears...Mr. Anderson."
Real Thoughts on Inspector Gadget?
Also, maybe an NC on Inspector Gadget 2
When I was a kid and saw the first one on video, I was genuinely surprised at how dark it got considering the characters it's based around.
Ok, now they need to do a real thoughts on Troll In Central Park after having done a real thoughts on the Care Bears movies.
I just looked it up and you are correct. The voice actor for Dark Heart is Hadley Kay and he is from Toronto.
Cree Summer began her career with Nelvana, doing the voice of penny along the way.
Hadley Kay voiced the villian in the II movie
Rob's Walken impression is impeccable (hence why he voiced him in Cinema Snob's Heaven's Gate review).
It's funny you bring up the Chipmunks movie because as it turns out the Chipmunks movie was heavily animated by Disney animators that were laid off after the box office tsunami of the Black Cauldron witch I still genuinely unironically the like despite its Myriad of problems. But yes that failed they laid off so many animators and help that failed to the Care Bears Movie picture that happening today. And so those animators went on to make Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and it shows it totally shows it would be the most ambitious that that studio behind the Chipmunks had ever been at the time or since really
'Loving and caring...unless I don't like someone, then f**k those guys'
Tommorowland has that problem.
This is actually something that Robot Chicken misinterpreted about Toy Story 3 as well. The incinerator was the last any of the toys ever saw of Lotso.
Lotso just went “stealth” when he saw a truck driving by and the driver stopped and noticed him (somehow).
The first movie actually saved Nelvana from going out of business because MGM fucked them when it came to distributing Rock and Rule.
The actor who played Darkheart, Hadley Kay, was born in Toronto, Canada.
I think the second movie was a reboot. That's why it was called "A New Generation."
I feel horrible for admitting this but.... I know what movie you're talking about at the end. It's Oopsy Does It. I know, I know, but I have an excuse for knowing this! I have a hoard of little brothers and sisters and I frequently have to watch their shows. I've never really understood a few of the Care Bears, how is being clumsy a characteristic of caring? For that matter, how is being grumpy one? Although Grumpy is the only reason Care Bears is very occasionally bearable (heh)(sorry, ignore that) he is only of use when he's not being what he naturally is. Why is he a Care Bear?
I rather enjoyed the Care Bears. They're one of the many 1980s franchises that appeal to me.
Now time for a game of disappearing kids😏 (Secret Bear)
Sounds like Doug found the CBS remake from a few years ago, where Grumpy was less grumpy and was an inventor. The Hub had one where it was all CG and they would be teleport kids up to help with their problems. I prefer the ABC series of my youth. It was part action show.
Leave the Chipmunk Adventure out of this. I still hella love that movie.
13:50 - 14:46 Best part
Time for a game of disappearing bears.
care bears vs tmnt:
WHAT THE SHELL!??
Ninja Turtles win
He forgot the "We Care Chant"
I BELIEVE IN SANTA CHRIST!
@@asdatescosains700 Dark Heart (Singing): I can't stop this feeling, deep inside of me. Girl you just don't realize, what you do to me.
How many times does Rob say remember or remembered in this video XD
Had to bring up the Chipmunk Adventure.
Let me tell you, sirs, I am 21 and I love that movie.
Then again, im disabled, so maybe that’s why.
Felix the Cat and Foodfight next.
I was 5 when the movie came out too
You know, there's times that I prefer these to the actual reviews, maybe I'm just butt hurt because of all the jabs they take at Pokémon and Phil Collins(though his Balto review was one of my favs) or I just like the wholesome nature and how honest and realistic they fell idk
20:22 Time for a game of disappearing sausage...
*DAAAAARKHEAAAAAART!!!!!*
Actually guys you probably have heard the guy who played dark heart in other movies you just probably didnt notice it, a guy named Hadley Kay the the earliest thing you probly saw him in was, he was the kid in Superman 2 that falls off Niagara Falls. yes he is Canadian and he even used to voice the honey nut Cheerios bee I couldn't find a specific date but given all the commercial specials you done youve heard him as buzz
I find it so funny that the voice of Darkheart was also in my pet monster, garbage pail kids, and inspector gadget!
Molly DARRRRRRRRK HEARRRRRRRRT!
Real thoughts on princess diaries 2, give the people what they want
I started thinking about FNAF at the end because of the bear head on the robot body and it's like, are you sure this is something about Care Bears.
My dad was great when i was a kid my dad would record all this stuff when i was a kid care bears/transformers and robotech the film that made a impression on me the most was a film i did not know the title was until recently which is Les Maîtres du temps (time masters)
The first movie had issues, the second was an incoherent mess even though it had a few things that did work.
I pretty much agree.
Like the frist movie is the best. It gets lazy with the songs, but makes up for it with an evil almost malesfisent like villian that will scare kids and adults alike.
The 2nd movie is my fav but as a guilty pleasure rather than a better movie. It makes lit sense as the 1st. The only real improvement seens to be the songs but that's it (oddly songs get a lit better as the movies get wrose). The villian is cool but not quite as good as 1. So while its not as good, it has its moments that save it from being a waste.
The last two... spin offs with one I'm shocked made it into cinema or heck TV in general instead of direct to video. While the 3rd isn't gawd awful (although I was still in diapers when I saw it and remember crapping myself when the Cat raps about a heart...), it's not good either. 4th one didn't know existed and wise it never did because it looks just pathetic.
So 1 is the best, 2 is my fav but not as good, and... there was more than that?
Heck Land Before Time has over 10 sequels but all to video or dvd.
Sailor Sedna No offense but I think the 4th one was the worse. Forgive me.
The dark heart guy was Hadley Kay. Just imdbed it
Has anyone else noticed that when they do a Real Thoughts video they always end up saying "Um" together at some point?
I always liked care bears 2 more than the first one as a kid (probably just because I thought Dark Heart was cute) but I can now look back and see that the first movie was the better one.
