The Bravest Heart
In the suburbs of the streets of London in 1984 lives a lonely autistic man called Arthur. He just recently broken up with his girlfriend over a meltdown during his first date, which made him 'different' from the others. As a result, he became an alcoholic and spent all his days crying while drinking the stuff. That is, until he hears about the Care Bear craze. Going into the shop to admire all the cutesy, beautiful Care Bears merchandise suddenly gives him a new lease on life when Brave Heart Lion enters his life and teaches him to stop his alcohol addiction, which he calls 'caring for yourself and your body'. Even though children happen to point and scream, "A LION!" loudly, Arthur and Brave Heart become best friends, and soon the man is enjoying not just Care Bears and the related teddies, but also other things like toys and games and picture books.
