Don't remember too much about it but I'm assuming it was made in the 60's-80's it was about some bear type/star wars looking creatures who were captured and a family (I think trying to save them) went to a castle and the bear type guards were there. There was a little boy in the family who I'm pretty sure was the main character and the family members all had some kind of blinking device that if someone was hurt it would start blinking?

I don't remember nearly anything about it I watch it when I was very young but it was a family movie. If anyone can tell me based off my little information you are awesome!

It sounds like an old film I remember called "Billy saves some bear-type characters from a castle guarded by other bear-type creatures with help from his family and a blinking device". I think it went straight to television.

Maybe this is it...
