"Care Bears" Movie in Development
Yara Sameh Josh Greenbaum has been tapped to direct a new Care Bears movie for Warner Bros. A writer has not yet been announced for the film that is in early development and has also not disclosed plot details. Producers include Chris Bender and Jake Weiner for Good Fear and Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley for GoldDay. Executive producing are Sean Gorman and Daniel Barnes for Cloudco. Sheila Walcott oversees the feature for the studio. Created by Elena Kucharik and Linda Denham, the Care Bears are friendly creatures with images on their bellies that reflect their unique personalities. Care Bears got their start on greeting cards in the early 1980s and landed their television series later that decade. It has been the focus of such films as 1985's animated The Care Bears Movie, which featured Mickey Rooney among the voice cast. The Care Bears franchise is owned by Cloudco Entertainment, formerly known as American Greetings Entertainment, which is behind the recent animated series Care Bears: Unlock the Magic. Greenbaum is known for such features as "Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar", "Strays", and the documentary "Will & Harper". He is in post-production on "The Dink", a pickleball movie starring Ben Stiller and Jake Johnson. Greenbaum is also attached to direct a Spaceballs sequel film for Amazon MGM Studios. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Quebec to appeal court decision recognizing multi-parent families
By Quebec will seek to avoid legal recognition for multi-parent families, Justice Minister and Attorney General Simon Jolin-Barrette has confirmed. Speaking to reporters ahead of question period in the National Assembly on Thursday morning, Jolin-Barrette said Quebec 'made the choice' to limit legally recognized families to two parents and the province would appeal a Superior Court decision striking down that limit. The April 25 judgment ordered the province to amend its Civil Code to allow equal recognition for families with more than two parents. The applicants, whose names are under a publication ban, are three families with three parents each. In his ruling, Justice Andres Garin found that by refusing to legally recognize each parent, Quebec had violated the families' Canadian charter rights to equal protection and benefit of the law. But Jolin-Barrette asserted Thursday that recognizing multi-parent families could harm children. 'Having more than two parents could have important consequences for the child,' he said, including in cases of separation. 'I don't think it's in the interest of the child to have four, five, six, seven, eight parents.' 'I don't remember that referendum,' in which Quebecers chose to exclude multi-parent families from legal recognition, said Mona Greenbaum, founder of the LGBT Family Coalition, an intervener in the legal challenge. Nobody is asking the province to recognize eight parents, Greenbaum said. While the case pertained to families with three parents, she said the organization would like to see a law recognize families with up to four parents, as was done in Ontario. 'It's not a question of whether we should allow these families to exist. They're already here,' she said. Most are made up of a couple and one other person or two couples, she said, though some involve polyamorous relationships. Many include LGBTQ+ parents. When dynamics between the parents are healthy, Greenbaum said legal recognition is less important. 'But sometimes things break down,' she said. In those cases, non-recognized parents can lose the ability to see their children and face no obligation to pay child support. Both issues risk harming their children, she said. 'Our priority is the kids.' Jolin-Barrette said he, too, is acting in the interests of children, and family breakdowns could have more severe consequences when more parents are involved. 'Pretending that you're doing the kids a service by not protecting their families, it's completely wrong,' Greenbaum said, adding that two-parent families also experience separation. 'Maybe we should bar couples' from parental rights, too, she mused. 'Should we do that?' With Quebec now choosing to challenge the case, Greenbaum said she wouldn't be surprised if it eventually lands in the Supreme Court. 'There aren't tons' of multi-parent families in the province, she said, adding that it is difficult to get a clear sense of the number. 'But the government is going to invest quite a lot of money to bring this to appeal. 'While we're waiting for it to get up to that level, these families are unprotected,' she said. The families involved in the challenge 'are very, very disappointed because they feel that they're being discriminated against. And they are.'
