[edit] Titles in different languages

Because lists of title translations are generally not a requirement for high-quality Wikipedia film articles, this list (part of it taken from the AKAs mirror at IMDb, unless otherwise noted) is put here for the convenience of translators:

• Catalan: ca:Els Óssos Amorosos (pel·lícula) [1]
• Czech: cs:Starostliví medvídci (film) [2]
• Dutch: nl:De Troetelbeertjes: de film [3]
• Finnish: fi:Halinallet (elokuva)
• German: de:Der Glücksbärchifilm
• Italian: it:Gli orsetti del cuore (film)
• Lithuanian: lt:Rūpestingi meškiukai (filmas) [4]
• Polish: pl:Troskliwe misie (film)
• Portuguese: pt:Os Ursinhos Carinhosos: O Filme [5]
• Russian: ru:Заботливые медвежата (фильм) [6]

If you want to create a translation from it into one of these languages above, make sure to put the relevant link into the article as soon as it is done. --Slgrandson 03:12, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images

10 fair use images? First thing that will have to go in a Featured Article Candidacy. Should probably reduce down to 4 or 5. I will wait a bit for consensus :) Judgesurreal777 20:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Promoted to GA

These little things should be arranged :

• ...modestly well... and ...modest success... sounds pov to me, change or find a citation.
• The word recently in section Records should be changed as there is no time in encyclopedias.
• The Plot is a bit long (but well-written and -prosed).
• The link on ...this entry from the-numbers.com. should be added in the Footnotes section since it won't look like a link when the article will be in paper format.
• According to some calculations should be changed as per MoS.

I am shocked as to how good this article is.--P-Chan 18:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From a news clipping at C21 Media.net

"[The first Care Bears movie] grossed US$34 [million] internationally at the box office." [7]

Can someone verify this? Seems a little unclear, since the source is British and there has been no other box office information for this release outside the United States.

Still, it would be great to include this in the "Box office" section when it gets checked in full. A few suggestions as to what can support this factoid would be welcome. --Slgrandson 01:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added trailer

Added link to trailer right next to bold movie name in 1st paragraph. If this is objectionable, then feel free to remove.

The link was added for content purposes.

Per WP:EL, it has recently been removed from the article. Links to YouTube and Google Video material are usually recommended against by the Wikipedia community. --Slgrandson (page - messages - contribs) 02:24, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gored

Somebody gored the layout of the page bad about half way through. I'm too pre-occupied right now to fix it, so if it isn't fixed when i get back to check it, I will fix it.

[edit] Recently removed from article

The Care Bears Movie was originally produced in the 1.33:1 aspect ratio, and then matted in the widescreen format for its theatrical presentation. Up to the time of its release, this practice was common for most animated films, especially those made by Disney until the mid-1980's. As a result, no true widescreen version exists for this production. [8]

Per Mr. Wales' statement "Zero information is preferred to misleading or false information", and a temporary dead link to a forum, it has been removed. Only put it back into the page when reliable content can be found for this. --Slgrandson (page - messages - contribs) 17:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
