Oh, my!
He's found us! This storm is all his doing!
Most scenes together: True Heart Bear & Noble Heart Horse (6), Dawn & John (5), True Heart Bear & Dawn (4)
Oh, my!
He's found us! This storm is all his doing!
I wish that just once, I could be Camp Champ! I hate being last and I hate being here!
So do we, Christy. We can't swim. We can't paddle a boat... He's right. We'll always be last.
And we'll always be doing trash duty.
And all the camp laundry.
Well, not me. Not anymore! (walking away from her fellow campers) I'm going to do something about it!
True Heart Bear (disguised as a hawk from the totem) That's the way, Christy.
What are you-
-going to do?
I'm going to...run away!
Run away?! No!
Good or bad, you're still a person...or whatever you are.
Huh? If you knew what was good for you, you would've left me.
That's what you would've done. ..Maybe that's the only difference between us.
[With a magic snap of his fingers, Dark Heart takes Christy to the other side of the lake.]
John (holding Swift Heart): What's that?
It's our Caring Meter. It lets us know when something is affecting the level of caring on Earth.
This time, it might be...Dark Heart.
Dark Heart? Who's Dark Heart?
Let's hope you never have to find out!
If it is Dark Heart, it'll take both of us! (kindly) Could you watch over the little Cubs while we're gone?
Dawn (after she and John look at the Cubs): Uh...I think so.
Sure.
Noble Heart Horse (as he and True Heart leave): We know you can do it. Good luck.
[No sooner does he close the door than Swift Heart and the other Cubs start crying.]
Boy, am I bushed! Where's everyone else, Tenderheart?
I'm not sure, Grumpy Bear. We sent them off this morning to help some people, and they haven't come back.
Neither are any of the others that went after them.
I hope they're all right.
Wish Bear (hearing Christy's scream for help): Oh, no! More trouble! Someone needs our help!
You and Cheer Bear'll hold the fort, Wish Bear. You're up to this one, Grumpy?
Let's go!
[He and Tenderheart then leave while Wish Bear watches worriedly.]
So...this is all of us that are left.
Oh my, oh dear! What can we do? We were so many...now we're so very few.
Well, we can't just stop helping people, Harmony Bear! I mean, we just can't stop caring!
Brave Heart's right. And Dark Heart knows it too. Each time we go to help someone in trouble, that someone could be Christy setting another trap.
But what about Noble Heart and True Heart?
I don't know, Grumpy. But what we do know is that we can't wait for them to come back. This is up to us! If we lose, there'll be nothing left.
Meanwhile, Christy was lost in the woods and was about to need more help than anyone could've guessed.
Where are those guys? Maybe they ran away with me. Oh, why can't I be good at anything except shooting marbles [flings a marble that hits a tree, rock, then leaf and lands in Christy's hand] Marble Champ. [catches the leaf] So what? [sighs] If only I could run, or swim, or do something to be the Camp Champ. [Dark Heart looks as a weasel then jumps in a bush causing Christy to gasp] John? Dawn?
Me?
Yeah, sure. You are the Camp Champ, ain't you?
No...I'm not.
Well, you sure could've fooled me.
Who are you?
Well, I'm from the camp on the other side of the river. Say! You wouldn't want to be the Camp Champ, would ya? I could fix it for you. What do you say?
Well, I don't know.
There's only one catch, though.
I knew it was too good to be true.
Not so fast. It's no big deal. Sometime I'll drop by and ask you to return a favour. And you just...do it. No questions asked. What do you say?
Ah, you can't make me Camp Champ.
Oh, no?
Sure! Okay! You got a deal. Now go ahead and make me Camp Champ.
A favour now...for a favour later. (snaps fingers magically) Done! Do a cartwheel.
A cartwheel? I can't do a cart—
Just do it!
I did it! I did it! You were telling the truth!
Cartwheels are nothing. Now you can race, swim, paddle...
I am going to be the Camp Champ!
Just remember: When I come back, you owe me a favour. And I will be back.
This is going to be a wonderful party, Tenderheart.
Tenderheart Bear (tasting punch and slurping it): You said it, Harmony Bear. Noble Heart and True Heart will really be surprised.
Not if they get back before we're finished setting it all up!
We'll have lots of time to spare, Grumpy Bear. Actually, everything's ready now.
Grumpy Bear (as another one of him is carrying a long loaf of bread): Huh! That's because I've been doing double duty.
No, Christy. We're staying!
We're gonna help.
We can make things go back to just the way they were before Dark Heart came here.
[Christy goes away from them, over to the lake's edge.] Christy (turning to Dawn and John): Since I've been Camp Champ, I've never made you do trash duty, or push you in the mud. Well, no one laughs at you anymore when you trip or fall on your face...I won't let 'em! Oh, I can't go back to being a nobody...not now!
You were never a nobody, Christy.
You were always good at being our friend.
And a friend is the most special person in the world.
I made a bargain with him. I had to keep my part of it. Oh, it's too late! The damage has been done!
All right. You've paid him back. Now you have to stop him from hurting all the others.
It's time you start thinking of them...of your friends. (giving Christy her marble) You were always the marble champ, Christy, and that you did all by yourself.
Dawn! John! Wait for me!
[She joins the other two campers in order to stop Dark Heart.]
What did you do to them?
Well, well, if it isn't the Camp...Champ!
Where are they, Dark Heart?
The Bears? Their Cousins? Why, I've created my most prized treasure.
[After the villain snaps his fingers, the three campers scream as the chandelier comes towards them.] Dark Heart (laughing): Hah! A chandelier of frozen feelings. Take a look—all of your friends frozen in my crystal...
NO!
...prison. All that feeling and love's right where it should be—trapped forever!
Ha ha ha!
You can't do this. I won't let you!
But you made it all possible. Now, like this camp, everything I touch will be drained of goodness...and kindness!
You have to deal with us first, Dark Heart!
The time has come to put an end...to your evil trickery.
Ah. Noble Heart and True Heart. True and Noble to the very end. I'm glad you came, but you see, you're already too late. Now, you shall join the others and leave me to do as I will!
[Dark Heart transforms into the red cloud and laughs] Christy (running to True Heart and Noble Heart): No! Stop.
Christy! Move out of the way!
Christy, do as he says.
No. I won't let you do this! Free the others!
We have concluded our bargain. I'm allowing you to leave. Now go!
I know you don't want to do this!
Leave us, or I'll take back all that I have given you. (seeing Christy refuse to take heed) So be it! (thunder cracks) You are back to the way you were: a loser!
Okay...so what? I helped you do this. And I'm gonna help stop you!
You saved my life, Christy! Now run and save yourself! Go.......!
Help me, Care Bears.
You must bring this child back from where I've sent her!
Noble Heart and True Heart (tearfully): We...we can't.
It would take more love and...caring than even we have...all put together.
No! You've...got to do something. What good is all your love...your caring...if it cannot...save this child? If you can't help...who...can?
We care! We all really care! There have to be other people who care as much as we do—people somewhere...anywhere.
If all of us...and everyone, everywhere, all cared together, it just might be enough to save Christy.
Everyone hold hands, and together, open your hearts, and your ears, and listen real hard for the voice of those who care!
We care...we care.
If you have ever cared, do it now. Help us—tell us you care. Tell your friend next to you that...you care. Tell them how much you care. Tell them again. Say it. Shout it! Help us... (joins in the chanting) We care.
Thank you.
Thank you for caring.
But—but...I did care, didn't I? I never really understood why you pulled me out of the river, but I think I do now.
[He hugs Christy, and the Bears and Cousins cheer.] Christy (gasps): Your eyes! (hands over a mirror to Dark Heart) Look!
I'm a boy! A real boy!
Your evil left you when you realized how much you really cared.
Dark Heart (dancing with Christy): Whoopee! I'm a boy—I can jump! I can run! I can turn cartwheels!...Whoa!
Don't worry. We can learn together.
Grumpy Bear (to the others): Hey, come on!
[The campers, the new Dark Heart, and the other Bears and Cousins come along with him to bathe in the lake.]
Now we're all here!
That's the plan, Bedtime Bear. We wanted to get caught. We're strongest when we're all together, so now we can make a unified stand against Dark Heart. (whistles to Star and Heart Buddies)
Hurry, little Star Buddy. We don't have much time!
Ha ha ha! Now I've got you all!
You can't keep us in here, Dark Heart!
Oh, but I don't intend to. I have a special place all set. (yawns) But that won't keep until after I've rested.
This camp is the greatest place to be. I'm gonna see what I can do about staying here, and helping to make sure that everyone's a Camp Champ.
Just remember: everybody's already a Champ, because no matter who they are, they're friends.
[Other campers around a campfire laugh happily in the distance. The Boy and his new camper friends walk along and join them.]
