Storyline

On another planet, a girl called Wisp discovers an end to the universe's dark times and becomes the keeper of color. Thus her name changes to Rainbow Brite. As she battles silly villains like Murky and Lurky who prefer gray, Rainbow makes friends with many creatures. Some are other kids who want to help keep everything bright, others are animals such as the egotistical horse Starlite and the quivering sprite Twink. Only one person on the planet Earth knows of Rainbow Brite, her best friend Brian. When things go wrong in our world, all he has to do is use his rainbow key and ask Rainbow Brite for help.

COLOR!!!!!

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.
