Care Bears Tell-Tale Tummies DVD Review

CJ tends to find a show he likes and watch it over and over, usually for a couple of years. The first show he ever fell in love with was Sesame Street. Next was Blue’s Clues. After that came Thomas The Train, his current favorite and possibly most favorite ever. I don’t mind him having favorites but I do like him to be exposed to different things, which is why I accepted the opportunity to review the new Care Bears: Tell-Tale Tummies DVD.

The DVD contains eight new and never released episodes from the new CBS Saturday morning tv show. The episodes are:

The Tell-Tale Tummy
Oopsy, the Hero
Bumbleberry Jammed
Desperately Seeking Mr. Beaks
King of the Gobblebugs
Bad News
Tour De Farce
No-Snow Day

This DVD has a Kid Friendly Direct-Play feature that allows the DVD to play automatically without any selecting from a menu. The episodes on this DVD are ten to twelve minutes long, a perfect size for the attention span of a small child. As with the Care Bears shows that I remember from the mid 80s, each of the episodes has a message about values and morals. The theme of each of these episodes is doing what’s right, including being honest and telling the truth. The colors are bright and the voices of the characters very animated. It’s what I consider a “nice” show.

The Care Bears: Tell-Tale Tummies DVD has a run time of 88 minutes. The DVD will arrive in stores this week, on June 9, and retail for approximately $14.99.
