(00:44:30)

Continuity mistake: After Nicholas springs from the trailer to search for magic spell ingredients, he runs over to the nearest garbage can and starts picking. Behind him is a gazebo, and its staircase is located three openings from the right. But later on when Nicholas and Fetuccini are outside talking about friends, take another look at the same gazebo: the staircase has moved all by itself - now it is located five spaces from the right. (00:52:40 - 01:06:30)

Continuity mistake: When Secret Bear and Friend Bear's cloud mobile circles out of control right above the park, Kim and Jason are shown walking hand in hand on a trail below.

Continuity mistake: Once the Care Bears aboard the cloud clipper defeat the evil spirit's bird, it begins sailing towards shore.

Continuity mistake: When Tenderheart and the other Care Bears begin sailing through a canyon in the Forest of Feelings, nobody is standing on the cloud Clipper's bow where the star-o-scope is mounted. But moments later after Tenderheart says, "We're going for a ride!", Wish Bear is suddenly there at the bow holding on for dear life as the waters start to rage. (00:42:45)

Continuity mistake: After Fetuccini tells Nicholas to check for any useful items in the magic trunk, he gets to work right away but first needs to light a kerosene lamp on the floor. Once he replaces the lamp's chimney, notice how the knob is pointing to the trunk. A few minutes later in the same room, Nicholas is passed out. Here, the handle now faces in a different direction - towards the table on the opposite side (most noticeable immediately before Tenderheart shouts "Stop!"). (00:08:55 - 00:17:35)

ryguy_1983

Continuity mistake: In the scene where two boys are chasing Playful Heart Monkey and Friend Bear through the carnival grounds, the one wearing light brown shoes angrily kicks over a box of junk on his way by. But when he runs away in the next shot, he's wearing black shoes instead. (00:53:45)

Continuity mistake: When Grumpy Bear is performing repairs on the rainbow rescue beam, Good Luck Bear directs his attention to the ailing caring meter for a moment. Next, Grumpy slides back underneath the control panel to resume his work - at which point the white patch on his tummy beneath the symbol is visible. After Good Luck generates a four-leaf clover, Grumpy slides out yet again; but now the white patch has turned completely blue. (00:39:00)

Continuity mistake: Share Bear's tummy symbol consists of two straws in a milkshake cup dotted with a couple of small red hearts, as seen near the beginning when Grumpy Bear is working on the rainbow rescue beam. But when the Care Bears and Cousins are gathered around the carousel, Share Bear slides down a pole and walks away. However, in this shot her tummy symbol is missing both hearts. (00:09:40 - 00:57:40)

Continuity mistake: During "Care-a-Lot" when Friend and Secret Bear are getting ready to pull away in their cloud mobile, Wish Bear is standing near the driver's side holding her star-o-scope. Behind the scope we can see her shooting star tummy symbol. For a moment the cloud mobile grinds to a halt. But once it's ready for takeoff again, Wish Bear is standing in the same position, only this time her tummy symbol is missing. (00:03:40)
