In this age of "Barney", "Teletubbies", and "Pokemon" ulgfh I can't stand pokemon. One wonders just what happened to good ol Rainbow Brite. I mean think about for a minute. She was the only childrens hero that kids could look up to, and not have parents complain about her being "homosexual" or, "too violent" for kids. Though I wonder why some one doesn't try to revive RB for Y2k? It might not be such a bad idea!

Rainbow brite was my hero when I was 5, and I'm pleased to say that my daughter also loves it. I was worried some scenes may be too scarey for my 3yr old. After watching 5X in a row, I realized this kid was totally hooked.

I had one friend who liked this and a little sister that loved it...so I won't give it 1 Star on the belief that they saw something in it that I didn't at that age.

However, I will use the same argument now, to trash it, that I did when I was a little kid in the 80s.

"She's a color protector! She protects color! That is the stupidest thing on earth! Mom and Dad used to be in black and white and they're fine!"

OK, maybe I wasn't the absolute brightest kid in the world but...I still think i had a valid point.

I loved "Rainbow Brite" when I was a little girl! Though it was short lived (only 13 television episodes, one movie, and one live action video), it grew so many fans. As the episodes went on, new characters were introduced and the old ones were never lost. The show even had characters cross over from the movie. The tales of friendship and colors, fun and adventure carried on through many books and toys. It's too bad it didn't last longer or that it's so hard to find anything Rainbow Brite anymore. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the 80s or someone who has a little one they would like to introduce a wonderful cartoon character to.

My best friend recently picked up this movie at a garage sale. I was so sprung, i hadn't seen any Rainbow Brite since i was little. This was one of the movies that I would watch repeatedly until my mom had to return it to the video store. Watching it now reminds me of how great a cartoon Rainbow Brite really was. This show taught me my colors, orange and yellow were hard to remember when i was a youngin'. They always had a little lesson in there too...about friendship, responsibility...whatever. I wanted to BE Rainbow for halloween until i was like 13.

Finally Rainbow Brite is back on TV, and it's about time. Now little kids all over can know the magic of color crystals, starlight, and the sprites.

if only they'd bring back fraggle rock, my little pony, and care bears.
