Lady Lovelylocks and the Pixietails

In typical 80s fashion, the protagonist has blue eyes & blonde hair, while the villain has black hair (which is why I sometimes find myself rooting for the antagonist from time to time haha). She has the better dress and a cooler name! "Ravenwaves" just sounds so cool and poetic.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting the animals or the creatures in this cartoon. Yes, I'm aware that the pixietails are in the title of the show; I just didn't know that when I first saw it, haha. Anyways, I was expecting something more like that episode of Fairly OddParents, "Hairicane." But here I thought it was going to be more cutesy magical stuff with her hair (without the help of the pixietails). I don't know, just something more memorable...

I didn't grow up with this cartoon. I've only seen the beautiful pictures inside the books. Maybe I'm missing something?! The reason the prince is a dog isn't explained in this animation, which makes it perplexing. Why is he unable to reveal his actual form to our main character? What caused him to be cursed? It would've been nice if we got an introduction to that in the beginning of the show. A full episode even!

The animation here is visually appealing (the Japanese were involved since you can tell from the characters faces and it looks nice), but at the same time, you can clearly see the animation was done on a low budget. It sucks because the books had amazing art in them. It would've been great to see that beautiful art come to life. Maybe if the show had been produced in the 90s or 2000s, it would have been much more unique and unforgettable. Especially in the 2000s when girly animation was at its peak (the girly pop era hurrah)! A revival of Lady Lovelylocks would've worked at that time.

Overall it's a cute cartoon that is somewhat forgettable. Ravenwaves and that catchy ending song (that reminds me a lot of the "Full House" opening theme lol) are the only memorable parts of this show.

A teacher, Janet Craven, asked me about the classic 80s cartoon.

Nothing could possibly beat the retro style.

I might possibly email Netflix to drop "Cuties" and continue showing "Lady Lovely Locks & The Pixietails" instead.

Disney+ also confirmed the rights of the original uncut/unedited animated series (in the form of a backstory film with Madison Pettis doing the narration of how the orphaned princess became a protector of her kingdom, keeping her land safe from the evil RavenWaves).

I'm a huge fan of Lady Lovely Locks & The Pixietails.

Make it happen for Netflix and Disney+.

LADY LOVELY LOCKS!

Wow, not many reviews on this (that is sad). I think this was a great show but somehow was overshadowed in its time by other shows that were airing at the time.

I own all 5 VHS takes of the show that was released in the US and the story flows like it is to be expected -- Jealous Ravenhair tries to take over the kingdom and thinks a lock of Lady's hair is the key to her success. Lady wins, of course, and finds herself being saved, at times, by her Prince in shinning armor (okay, so it's really FUR he saves her in, but he does get to save her as a human, even if its just once).

I remember LOVING this show when I was little and ended up renting it to death in our movie store (where I ended up buying 2 of the tapes when it went out of business). The others 3 I collected off Amazon and eBay.

The only downer in the series is that, in English, and thus the animation, is incomplete; ending at an unfulfilled desire on all parties. The story DID end, though, in Swedish(?) audio dramas, by where you can read transcripts of such.

I somewhat miss the moral-ridden cartoons they had in the 80's and early 90's. This show stands to not be compared with current cartoons that have dumb idiocy for plots and hold no direction for where it is going. Very few cartoons stand to live up to story-telling now days; even if Lady LovelyLocks stood to be one of those before-the-time toy-line advertisements like children now-adays actually notice.

I do wish I could own official DVDs of the show, even if it WAS unfinished. Yet, I highly doubt that such a thing would ever happen.

There were seriously people that didn't believe me that this show ever existed! These were people that watched Rainbow Brite, Poppels, My little Poney, and Care Bares all those merchandise selling shows. Even my own sister who watched it with me denied it's existence. I rented a Lady Lovely locks video every time we went to the video store. I found some episodes on Youtube and watched it with my own 5 & 6 son and daughter who LOVED it. Those shows give me a sense of euphoric nostalgia and I love that I could share them with my kids... However I would really like to see a voice cast and I didn't see one. I love seeing all the voices that were so buys during that time.

I have not seen this show since I was 5 years old. I thought it was so great when I saw it, but only one episode was available at the time. I always wondered what happened next. I believe I still have the toys that went with this show, hair clips shaped like animals and a horse whose hair I put them in. I really loved this show. Or maybe I hated it. I really can not remember that far back. I just looked up the guy who created Rainbow Brite, and it turns out it's a French guy who also created Popples, Care Bears, Kissyfur, etd. I love this guy's stuff! It only exists to sell toys & merchandise, of course, but it still has a nostalgic value for me.
