Synopsis

(from IMDb's , as written by Jeff Schechter)

Feeling sad that her fellow Care Bears don't seem to appreciate her wishes, Wish Bear uses her wish star, Twinkers, to find some bears who love wishing as much as she does. That's when three new bears move to Care-a-lot...with some very unexpected results.

Plot

The movie starts with the Care Bears hearing a tale of baby Wish Bear finding her new friend, Twinkers, as she is having a picnic in the forest. The Care Bears are touched by the tale, but are bit worried when Wish Bear uses Twinkers' powers to wish them all some popcorn. They worry it may be a frivolous use of Twinkers' power, but Wish Bear assures them she's a trained professional.

The next day, Wish Bear uses the wishing power to help out some friends in need. She wishes for plenty of rainbow sap for Share Bear and for Grumpy Bear's rocket to have lots of zoom. The wishes backfire, however, when the sap overflows and the rocket spins out of control.

A monthly meeting of the Care-a-Lot steering commitee reveals a problem --- the meter that measures how much caring there is in Care-a-Lot has moved towards the raincloud side. It's suggested that they have a special month of showing how much they care. Wish Bear suggests using her wishes, but is told that they don't always work out the way she intended.

Wish Bear is upset that nobody seems to like her wishes. As she laments this, she comes up with the idea of wishing for other bears who like wishing as much as she does. She makes a wish and three new bears arrive in Care-a-Lot --- Me Bear, Messy Bear and Too-Loud Bear.

At first, everyone is pleased to welcome the new neighbors, but soon, things get out of control. The new neighbors abuse Twinkers' power to create themselves a huge mansion and Me Bear creates an entire gift shop dedicated to herself. The wishes drain the color right out of Care-a-Lot and worse, Wish Bear accidentally wishes away Twinkers to the three.

The new neighbors finally realize that what they've done has messed up Care-a-Lot. However, their idea of wishing the problem away simply leads to more problems. Finally, Twinkers loses his power from exhaustion. Wish Bear uses Grumpy Bear's rocket to bring him to Big Wish in the sky. She restores his power, but not before Wish Bear assures her that she's learned her lesson.

Back in Care-a-Lot, Wish Bear tells everyone that they can't simply wish this problema way. So they all work together to make Care-a-Lot beautiful again.
