Who's that comin' from somewhere up in the sky?

Movin' fast and bright as a firefly

Just when you think that trouble's gonna pounce

Who's gonna be there when it really counts?

Do that Care Bears Countdown

Five, four, three, two, one.

Announcer: And now back to "The Care Bears."

[ imitating brakes screeching ]

Hugs: Oh, help me, Tugs!

I'll save you, Hugs!

Please help me, Tugs!

I want to get the jam jar

so I can make a sandwich.

No way. Huh?

You wouldn't help me fix my truck

when I asked you.

Come on, Tugs.

Please?

I'll share it with you.

Nope.

Tugs, I'll get it myself.

Whoa!

What's going on here,

my two little darlings?

Tugs wouldn't help me.

Well, she didn't help me.

Hmm...

I think this situation calls for a story.

A story? Oh, goody, goody, gosh.

What's it about,Grams?

This is a story about Nursery Rhyme Land.

It was the first day of spring

after a long, cold winter.

Mother Nature was in her cottage

preparing for the most important day of the year.

Morning, Mother Nature.

Well, hello, Cock Robin.

I hope you haven't forgotten what day this is.

Of course I haven't.

Today is the first day of spring.

That's what you think.

This is the first day

of never-ending winter.

Oh, no.

It's the Wicked Witch of Winter.

I'm going to make sure

that you don't start spring

before the sun sets today.

Oh, no, you don't!

Yipe!

You won't get away with this.

Oh, yes, I will.

Simple Simon!

You shrieked, Your-- whoa!

Whoa!

Uh, Your Witchiness?

Where have you been?

I was so hungry,

I stopped off and got this delicious pie

from the pieman.

Yum!

This is no time

to think about your stomach, fur ball.

Now grab Mother Nature

and let's get back to my castle.

With Mother Nature as my prisoner,

spring will never arrive.

No, it will be winter all year round.

Okay, but could you defrost my pie first?

Oh, she gives me the chills

when she does that.

Grams Bear: Luckily, however,

The Witch of Winter's evil deed was quickly noticed.

Jack and Jill went up the hill

to fetch a pail of...

Both: Ice?

The water's frozen.

But it's the first day of spring.

We'd better go tell Mother Nature.

Come on.

Mother Nature!

Something's wrong here.

Jack: It looks like she's not home.

Help! Help!

Let me out of here!

Oh, thanks.

What's happened?

How did you get in there?

Where's Mother Nature?

The Wicked Witch of Winter

took her to the ice castle.

The ice castle? Oh, no!

If Mother Nature doesn't start spring

before the sun sets today,

it's gonna be winter forever.

Gosh, I guess it's up to us to save her.

Yeah, let's go! Wait!

Setting Mother Nature free is easier said than done.

The witch has a powerful magic mirror.

You're going to need something even more powerful,

Huh? like the magic ring.

It will grant you three wishes.

Oh, goody, goody, gosh.

Then we can wish for Mother Nature to come home.

How can we get this magic ring, Cock Robin?

You must go to the ogre that lives under the bridge

and answer a riddle.

A-a-an ogre?

Is he big and mean

and ugly and nasty?

Uh...

whoa!

I don't know!

Come on, Jill.

We've gotta get that magic ring.

Hello! Mr. Ogre,

are you there?

Who wants to know?

Huh?

You don't look like an ogre.

Jack: Yeah, you're not big,

mean, ugly, or nasty.

Oh, you noticed?

But I am pretty grumpy, though.

We've come for the magic ring

that will grant us three wishes.

Oh, everybody wants my magic rings.

Well, you're gonna have to answer

my riddle first.

What kind of a ball is fun to play with

but doesn't bounce?

Uh... Hmm...

uh...

could it be... a snowball?

It's fun to play with

and...

Oops.

Doesn't bounce.

Everyone guesses my riddles.

Do you know how many magic rings

I've given away this week?

Yeow!

Got it, Jill.

Hurry, Jack. Wish Mother Nature

away from the Witch of Winter's castle.

Magic ring, set Mother Nature free.

And bring her here for us to see.

Hey, the ring didn't work.

That's because you're too far away.

It's not a long-distance ring.

Does that mean we have to go right up the castle walls?

Yep, I'm afraid so.

Then let's get going, Jill.

We've got a long way to go.

Thanks for the ring, Mr. Ogre.

Bye!

Good luck!

[ Wicked Witch of Winter ]

Well, it looks like

we're going to have visitors.

Are they friends of yours, Mother Nature?

Jack and Jill, my little darlings.

Well, that's the last time you'll see them.

Simple Simon!

Coming!

You want some of this delicious pie?

It's fresh from the oven

and warm as toast.

Stop thinking about your stomach,

you bottomless pit.

Two little brats are coming here

to free Mother Nature.

Are you listeningto me?

Then get out there and make sure

they don't get here.

Okay, okay.

I'm going, I'm going.

Oh, poor Jack and Jill.

Gosh, Jack.

Which way do we go to get

to the Witch of Winter'scastle?

I don't know, Jill.

Hey, look.

Maybe someone in there will know.

Come on.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Jill: What a mess.

Care Bear: Oh...

it's gotta be here somewhere.

Nope, it's not in here either.

What are you looking for, sir?

Huh?

Oh, hi, sports fans.

I'm looking for my candlestick.

I'm Jack B. Nimble.

You know, Jack be quick?

I always jump over my candlestick.

That is, until I lost it.

Why do you do that, Mr. Nimble?

To keep in shape, of course.

Um, maybe you could jump over a table or something.

A table? Hmm.

Let's see.

"Jack be nimble,

Jack be quick,

Jack jump over the table"?

Nah.

See, it's gotta be,

"Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,

Jack jump over the candlestick."

Get it?

Quick, stick.

I've lost my candlestick forever.

What am I gonna do to keep in shape now?

Jack, maybe the magic ring can help.

Yeah.

Magic ring, help us quick.

Make Jack another candlestick.

Whoa!

Hey, way to go, sports fans.

Now you can jump over the candlestick, Jack.

Now.

Oh, if there's anything I can do for you sports fans...

There is.

How do we get to the Witch of Winter'scastle?

Oh, that's easy.

Just follow the path through the mountains.

Thanks for your help, Mr. Nimble.

Jack: Bye!

Okay!

"Jack be nimble,

Jack be quick,

Jack jump over the--"

they're going to the Witch of Winter's castle?

Huh? Yeow!

I'm f-freezing, J-jack.

M-me, too, Jill.

B-but don't worry!

As soon as we free Mother Nature,

she'll bring back spring

and it will be warm again.

Ooh, Jack and Jill went up the hill

to get squished by a boulder.

Oh, I'm sobad.

Announcer: "The Care Bears" will be right back.

Announcer: And now back to "The Care Bears."

Tugs: Oh, golly, golly, gosh!

Then what happened, Grams Bear?

Did Jack and Jill get past Simple Simon's trap?

Did they rescue Mother Nature?

Did spring come back?

Settle down, you two, and I'll tell you.

Now Jack and Jill were walking right under

Simple Simon's trap...

and didn't even know it.

Move, boulder.

Move, move, move, m-m-m-m-move.

Whoa!

That's it!

Huh? Yeow!

Yeow!

Whew. Alone at last.

Ah.

Huh?

Yeow!

I'm going to starve to death at this rate.

Grams Bear: So Jack and Jill continued on their way

toward the Witch of Winter's castle.

Suddenly, they came upon

another person along the path.

Ooh.

Do you have it? Huh?

Do we have what?

The time. I must have the time.

Why?

Because I'm Wee Willie Winkie

and I run through the town,

upstairs and downstairs in my nightgown.

Tapping on the window, crying at the lock.

"Are the babes in their beds?

For now it's 10:00."

But I've lost my watch,

and I don't know when it's 10:00.

Maybe we can help you find it.

Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

I know it's around here somewhere.

We see it, Mr. Winkie.

You do? Where?

It's right on the back of your hat.

Huh?

Oh.

Ah, there it is.

Oops!

Oh, no!

My watch is ruined.

Now nobody in Nursery Rhyme Land

will know when to put their babes to bed.

The magic ring, Jill?

Good idea, Jack.

Magic ring, help us three.

Fix the watch the way it used to be.

Oh, thank you.

Now everyone will know when to put their babes to bed.

Now you'll have to excuse me.

It's getting late...

and I must get to town.

And we've got to rescue Mother Nature

before the sun sets, Jack.

Yeah, let's go.

This will stop Jack and Jill

from getting to the castle.

They'll come running along the path onto the net,

then zingo!

Oh, I'm so hungry.

Come to me.

Jack: Hurry, Jill.

Uh-oh, here they come.

Now don't go away.

I'll be right back.

Hey, Jack.

Let's use this log like a toboggan.

That'll be much faster.

Gee, I don't know if this is gonna...

work!

Whee!

Whee! Now!

Whee! Uh-oh.

Yeow!

Oh, I'll never get to eat another pie

as long as I--

Huh?

Hey, get away from my pie,

you dumb sheep!

Sheep?

Oh, that gives me a wonderfully nasty idea.

Well, that's the end of the toboggan ride, Jill.

Come on.

Simple Simon: Oh, boohoo.

Oh!

Golly, gosh.

What's wrong, little girl?

I'm Little Bo Peep,

and I've lost my sheep.

And I don't know where to find them.

Maybe if you leave them alone,

they'll come home.

Wagging their tails behind them.

But they've never run away before.

Don't worry, Little Bo Peep.

We'll help you find them.

Oh, thank you.

It's me!

There's your sheep, Little Bo Peep.

Oh, how am I--

oh, how am I ever going to cross

that nasty, horrible, scary, old bridge?

Okay, we'll go get them for you.

Oh, you're so kind to me.

Huh.

Oh.

Yeow!

Here, sheep.

Here, sheep.

We have to get you back to Little Bo Peep.

Oh, no.

The bridge fell down.

We'll have to use the ring, Jill.

I know.

Magic ring, help us get the sheep

safely back to Little Bo Peep.

Yeow!

Okay, sheep. Let's go.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ow.

Now where did Little Bo Peep go?

Look, Jill. The magic ring is disappearing.

Cock Robin: Oh, no.

You used up the magic ring's three wishes.

One for Jack B. Nimble,

one for Wee Willie Winkie,

one for Bo Peep.

Wedid use all three wishes!

We'll never be able to free Mother Nature now.

I can't wait to tell the Witch of Winter.

Huh?

We've got to try and free Mother Nature somehow.

Even without the magic ring.

Come on, Jill.

Oh, dear.

What can I do?

[ Wicked Witch of Winter ]

The sun is setting, Mother Nature.

Soon Nursery Rhyme Land

will be locked in the season

of eternal winter.

Oh, if I get out of this cage,

I'll bring on such a warm spring...

it'll melt your ice castle into a puddle.

But that's not going to happen.

Because you're never going to get out.

Simple Simon: Especially since Jack and Jill

won't dare to rescue her.

They lost their magic ring.

Ah.

Hmm.

[ Wicked Witch of Winter

Look, pie face!

They're here!

I don't understand it.

Magic mirror, listen to me.

There's one in the cage,

now make it three.

Uh-oh! Huh?

Whoa, hey, let go!

Oh, no.

Jack and Jill: Help! Help!

Are you all right, my darlings?

We're all right, Mother Nature.

But not for long.

I'm going to turn you all

into fuzzy icicles.

That's what you get

for wasting your wishes helping others.

Nimble: That's what youthink.

What? Huh?

Let our friends go!

Get them!

Okay!

Now it's my turn.

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.

Jack jump over the candelabra.

Ooh, it's a good thing I keep in shape.

Oh, thank you, Jack B. Nimble.

Well, none of you are going to ruin my plans.

Magic mirror--

Huh?

My mirror is ruined!

I calculate that there's just enough time left

to bring on spring.

Cold flowers to blossom and birds to sing.

I hereby declare this the first day of spring.

Well, that takes care of the Witch of Winter

for at least another year.

Gosh, thanks for coming to save us.

Well, it's the least we could do.

After how much you helped us.

But how did you know we were in trouble?

You could say a little birdie told us.

Huh? Gosh...

it was nothing.

My castle is ruined.

At least one of my pies survived.

You're not getting any more pies

until you build me another castle.

Now get moving or else I'll...

Yummy! Yummy, yum, yum, yum.

It was my last pie.

But it was worth it.

And so spring came once again

to Nursery Rhyme Land.

Gosh, Grams, that was a wonderful story.

Now do you see how important it is to help others?

Sure.

If you help someone,

someday they might help you.

I'm sorry I didn't help you fix your truck, Tugs.

Oh, that's okay.

Come on, I'll help you make some jam sandwiches.

Hugs: Yay!

That's the way to do it, my two little darlings.
