Continuity mistake: Towards the end, when Nicholas is standing near the castle entrance, he demands the Care Bear family to surrender Kim and Jason. In his right hand is the magic spell book - which has the evil spirit's glowing green head between the pages and a portrait of its face on the front. After Good Luck Bear and Grumpy transport themselves to Earth via rainbow rescue beam, the next two shots of the book reveal a blank cover without the evil spirit's glowing head. (01:01:20)
