Care Bears: The Giving Festival is a 2010 American animated fantasy film starring the Care Bears characters.[1] Produced by SD Entertainment[2] and released on DVD by Lionsgate[3] on November 2, 2010,[4] the film follows the Care Power Team—which includes Funshine Bear, Cheer Bear, Grumpy Bear and Share Bear—as they organize their annual Giving Festival. The bears must rescue a princess named Starglo from impending weather.[2]

The DVD of The Giving Festival features an episode from the CBS series Adventures in Care-a-lot, containing the stories “Belly Blanked” and “All Give and No Take”.[5][6]

The film has received mixed reviews. C.S. Strowbridge of The Numbers, a box-office tracking website, said that it “is exactly what you would expect from the Care Bears. It’s not exactly a feature-length film, and it feels a little episodic, but it is bright and full of adventure.”[5] However, writing for DVD Talk, Paul Mavis gave it one star out of five. Deeming it “Dishonest right from the get-go”, he also said, “When I want a Care Bears Christmas movie … and I do … I want it to actually be about Christmas, not some wishy-washy P.C. ‘Giving Festival’ euphemism.”[6]
