I saw there were some people complaining about how this series deviates from the original cartoon, but that's something that makes the essence of this show. The animations are very bright, crisp, and pretty refreshing for a Care Bears show, since the old ones are definitely beginning to look very dated. I found the voice acting also fresh, fun, and new, with some very modern spins. I really liked the introduction of the new characters (especially Dibble, I love that little guy!) And the new spins on the old. Definitely give this show a try, especially with your kids, and you may find yourself enjoying it as well!
