in november 2004, warner home video released the movie on dvd in u. s. region 1 territories. the new disc featured a cleaned up and remastered transfer of the film which boasted brighter colors. the new transfer was not in widescreen, but was an

brand new day
, and a

game, as extras. rainbow brite and the star stealer has been put on the netflix streaming service .
rainbow brite and the star stealer was not screened in advance for critics in its initial release, and subsequently fared weakly among them. janet maslin of the new york times said in her short review ,
isn' t a movie; it' s a marketing tool .
she was referring to animated fare which, at the time, had just begun the practice of cashing in on pre - sold toy lines. michael blowen of the boston globe said ,
is so incompetently crafted that it makes the saturday - morning cartoons seem like disney classics .
as for stuart fisher, a contributor for jerry beck' s animated movie guide :
sorry, kids, the star stealer was here ,
referring to the zero stars given to it in the book. the family guide to movies on video called it
not strong on imagination or substance but lots of color and action designed to sell dolls to the toddler set .
luckily, one of the fuzzy things (specifically, the one we saw evil diamond princess abusing at the beginning of the film) conveniently finds her just in time to give her some
star sprinkles
( aka the power source for her belt). rainbow brite takes advantage of this good fortune by turning around and blinding the lizard standing behind her .
written by howard r. cohen, who had previously written the final special (and origin story )
the beginning of rainbow land
, star stealer took rainbow brite and her magical flying horse, starlite, deep into space in attempt to save the diamond planet, spectra, and return color and light to the universe. the film introduced several new characters to the already vast world of rainbow land including stormy, a rogue color kid who was in charge of the winter rain and snow and krys, a heroic space boy who just wants to be brave (and who was originally developed as rainbow brite' s cousin). though rainbow' s normal foes murky and lurky are involved in the film the main antagonist was introduced as new villain, the dark princess, who was the most spoiled brat in the entire universe. she wanted to add spectra to her collection of jewels, using it to fuel her own powers, not caring that doing so could destroy everything in the whole universe .
'' rainbow brite,'' which opens today at neighborhood theaters, is sugary even for a children' s film. its plot concerns rainbow brite' s fight with a mean, selfish princess, who is by far the story' s most refreshing character, and the heroic way in which rainbow brite saves the world from turning wintery. scenes illustrating the latter threat are white, snowy and plain. in view of the rest of the film' s suffocating prettiness, they come as a great relief. the cast rainbow brite and the star stealer, directed by bernard deyries and kimio yabuki; screenplay by howard r. cohen, story by jean chalopin and mr. cohen, based on characters developed by hallmark properties; music by haim saban and shuki levy; produced by mr. chalopin, andy heyward and tetsuo katayama; released by warner brothers. at the manhattan twin, third avenue at 59th street; the gramercy, lexington avenue at 23d street; the r. k. o. 86th street twin, at lexington avenue, and other theaters .
in rainbow land the sprites call to the color kids that a flying horse is in rainbow land, but when they look and see it isn' t starlite they get alarmed. they go toward the horse, says in a stuttered reply that he needs “rainbow brite”
stupell home décor somewhere over the rainbow with rainbow wall plaque art, 10 x 0... .
back in the pits, murky and lurky return with his new machine. unfortunately they stumble and fall off down the hill. when they stand they see a shooting star fall from the sky and crash in the pits. curious to what fell, they go to investigate .
spectra shines with all it' s glory, the snow on earth melts, and the people can go outside for spring has finally arrived. back in rainbow land rainbow brite introduces krys to the color kids who greet him warmly. stormy rides the wind with skydancer and welcome rainbow brite home, saying she is ready for a vacation. doing rainbow' s job is harder then she thought, and she has more respect for her friend .
rainbow brite and krys shout at her, that she shouldn' t think of presents, and what she is doing to spectra. she is no more swayed then she was when orin attempted to tell her the same thing. she asks for rainbow brite' s belt, and when she refuses to give it to her, she steps towards her magic jewel and zaps her with it, but rainbow brite won' t give up so easily. she touches her belt, and a rainbow appears. however the rainbow is not strong enough, and she and krys are knocked unconscious. it is then the princess removes the belt herself, and orders them removed .
the castle creatures voice ask in unison what they seek. when they tell them they want to speak to the princess, the creatures reply “no”, and merge together into one massive giant castle creature. this beast attacks them, but rainbow brite sends a rainbow in to it' s face and they run away. the princess sees rainbow brite' s power and exclaims that she wants her belt .
rainbow brite rides a white horse named starlite, who has a rainbow - colored tail and main, and she has a rainbow trim on her little suit. wherever she goes, she leaves a rainbow trail. as a matter of fact, the film has rainbows everywhere. i stopped counting at 247 or so .
( aka, “blondine au pays de l’arc - en - ciel” and “mahô shôjo rainbow brite! ” this film is clearly an animé, but rainbow brite herself was a french / japanese / american co - production. which helps explain some things. )
cut to rainbow brite taking a trip to earth (i guess this means she' s an alien ?). it turns out rainbow brite has a human boyfriend named brian (he' s the only person on earth who can see her) .
in comparison to characters like my little pony and the ever popular barbie, rainbow brite' s initial popularity may have been short - lived, but her colors are just as bright today as they were in 1985 and so is her fan - base. two of them, renee stowe and katy cartee haile are considered two of most avid and active fans. each of them operate their own rainbow brite website and together have a podcast devoted to all things rainbow brite, britecast .
opening at seventh place with us $ 1. 8 million, and running for just five weeks at a 1, 090 - venue maximum, star stealer groseed us $ 4, 889, 971 at the north american box - office, months before a 13 - episode syndicated series appeared on dic' s kideo tv block. a tie - in comic book to the film was issued by dc comics .
i think i remember seeing this movie. i know i was into rainbow brite as a little girl and even had a shy violet doll, and i definitely remember murky and lurky .
luckily, chris seems pretty cool with having to share a saddle with rainbow brite and grip her closely while they fly around. go fig .
cyborg horse detracts the gunners while starlight trots through the castle. he gets caught; but at least he manages to snag the belt and get it to rainbow brite before the guards can shoot him to death .
krys asks where orin is and on - x explains he had sent him to rainbow land to get rainbow brite, and that was who he was in front of. disgusted by the thought of being helped by a girl, krys does his best to insult her and stress that he doesn' t need her help. rainbow brite isn' t so easily discouraged and insists she has come to help and she will .
they find an elevator in the dungeon and decide to try and use it to reach the princess. surprisingly, it works. and once they get in her throne room, crazy diamond princess casually asks rainbow brite to hand over the belt .
they end up leaving together and we get a look from him that implies that rainbow brite is getting another love interest. you go girl! !
as they run away krys continues to insult rainbow brite. “you even need someone to tell you which way to run! ”
that zoo movie with the creepy rainbow brite mascots is the only clear memory i have of watching rainbow brite as a kid. my sister and i rented it a million times from blockbuster and my father got so sick of it he used to beg us to rent anything else. naturally, that only made us want it more. lol
rainbow brite ignores his sexist outburst and asks him to explain what the heck is going on. chris tells her that the glitter bots have hypnotized both this planet and the one he hails from and is forcing all the slaves to work for crazy diamond princess. he then starts another rant about how chicks can' t save the universe and rainbow finally gets mad and essentially tells him
jerrica benton is secretly the leader of the glamorous and exciting music group, jem and the holograms .
rainbow brite knows what spectra is. it' s the diamond planet. the light of the universe passes through it. it is what gives life to the universe, and gives the color it' s power. without the “light of life” everything will die .
anyhoo, the plot gets going once rainbow returns home and a cyborg horse contacts her to tell her that the diamond princess is to blame for her weather powers being out of whack. turns out the princess rules the
diamond planet
( the place where all the light has to pass through before it gets to rainbow land and earth). and the princess' hoarding is screwing this up somehow. and rainbow brite is the only one who can stop the princess from
killing everything in the universe
.
on - x tries to continue his message, but a lighted section of his mane is not syncing with the rest as he attempts to speak. it is causing him to stutter. rainbow brite presses the piece back into place and he is able to continue his message. “ orin says only hope is rainbow brite. ”
with the princess distracted, rainbow and krys hit the jewel with all their power. the jewel absorbs the energy and crumbles to dust. this causes everything the magic touched to crumble, including the thrown room .
rainbow attempts to row away only to realize there are no ores to row with. on - x comes to the rescue turning on his boosters / hooves and speeding the boat down the river, which grows wilder and wilder until it reaches a large falls. rainbow attempts to create a rainbow to save them, but the star sprinkles fall from her hands and do nothing in the thick mist. on - x pushes as hard as his booster will allow and eventually is able to lift the boat against his neck and lift them up. they fly away, but gravity takes over soon after and the boat plummets .
seriously, cyborg horse tells her that everything in the universe will die if rainbow brite fails her mission. so, y' know, no pressure .
meanwhile rainbow brite, starlite and twink take a stop in the storm clouds above earth. it is time for their annual race with stormy, the little girl who controls the storms and winter rains. she gets to play often during the winter months bringing rain and snow to earth .
murky and lurky aren' t as fortunate, as they attempt to escape the gates close. murky and lurky are brought to the princess. she says she wants rainbow brite, which murky announces that he knows of her and is attempting to capture her too. he claims rainbow brite has several color belts, so the princess demands he capture her and bring her all the belts. once they are away from the fortress they decide to head back to spectra themselves .
she jumps to a high level away from the opening, and hears her name called. there she sees a small gray spectran sprite on an opposite pillar, also climbing away from the slurthie. he points her to his bag, which lay near by and she sees he has star sprinkles. quickly she runs to the sprinkles and once her belt is charged, she and the old sprite escape the creatures and move toward the fort .
we cut to diamond princess' castle. chris and rainbow brite brazenly just walk up the bridge leading to the front door. naturally, they' re spotted. and the princess orders some... thing to cast a wind spell to knock them off the bridge .
after that, we see rainbow brite return to rainbow land to announce that she' s saved the universe and everything is colorful again. and chris declares that he wants to live in rainbow land instead of returning home because he wants to help restore colors, too (and he realized that living in a place where the chicks outnumber him 5 to 1 would be pretty sweet) .
i don' t remember this movie at all. i didn' t watch a whole lot of rainbow brite as a kid. might have to track this down. > _ > but i do remember the live - action rainbow brite' s san diego zoo adventure. where murky and lurky were the main antagonists, did you ever see that one ?
anyhoo, everyone celebrates and rainbow brite doesn' t feel at all conflicted about ending a person' s life. we see that earth is full of sunshine once more (and, i assume, all the adults that didn' t slit their wrists during the dark snow storm are screwing like bunnies to fix the birth rate problem). and brian runs outside, sees a rainbow, and sniffles as he thanks rainbow brite for saving his planet (completely unaware that she has picked up a new boyfriend) .
.... . well, at least now he' s catching up to rainbow brite' s body count. good job, kiddo !
in the thrown room, rainbow and krys confront the princess, but this time they are prepared for her magic and using both the rainbow and the prism, the princess can' t hurt them, but they still can' t hit the jewel itself. then from behind murky' s space ship crashes uncontrollably in to the room, crushing the princesses thrown .
meanwhile on spectra, orin and popo are surprised when the other sprites come to them asking them what they are doing. it is then they notice all of the magic has worn off, and they are not hypnotized. the glitterbots are being destroyed and the net is cut away. rainbow brite has won !
i have many happy memories of recording rainbow brite and the star stealer ,
says bettina bush, who was still a child when she began voicing life to the colorful cutie .
i had such fun on set with my child co - stars, scott menville, and david and marisa mendenhall. what a talented group of kids, and all really grounded and fun. our director, marsha goodman was like a second mom to me, and working with her was always a good time - it still is. she' s got a wicked sense of humor and a gift for bringing out the best in actors. i remember the writer of the script smoked a pipe and i can still remember how it smelled - that makes me smile. i think my favorite memory is seeing all of our hard work come to life on the night of the premiere. i had been imagining how it would look based on the storyboards, and seeing all the elements come together as a child was magical .
and this year she doesn' t want to end her playtime. together with her horse skydancer, they race rainbow brite through the storm clouds. if rainbow brite catches up to them, then spring will come, but if she can out run them, it will stay winter. but no horse in the universe can out run starlite, who quickly over takes the pair and they leave past the storm clouds to earth. stormy and skydancer accept their defeat and the warm air softens skydancer' s frozen breath .
5: here' s a story that i enjoy telling. when it came to doing the feature, rainbow brite and the star stealer, my agent tried to get me more money. dic, the producer, was very frugal. my agent suggested they give me three contracts instead of one on the project, convincing dic, i could do several of the roles. in those days for a tv show, a performer was paid one fee and for that, would do as many as three characters. dic figured they would get their money' s worth by casting me in nine roles. so the day came for our recording. a union representative came to the session and informed dic that the rules were different for feature films, and they must give me a contract for each character. i got nine contracts for my work. it was a big payday !
the plan: on - x becomes a diversion, allowing starlite a chance to sneak in the fortress and get to the princesses room. everything goes well, and despite the obvious design flaws between horse and lift, he is able to get to the princess' s room, pass her and steal the belt back. the princess screams in rage as he jumps out the window, giving on - x the color belt. soon as on - x gets the belt he takes it to rainbow brite, who forms a rainbow to get them out of the jail cell and off the princesses planet .
so much nostalgia! i adored this show when i was younger, and i must say it did not let me down revisiting it. the bright colors and animation from this dvd are as memorable as when i saw it so many years ago. if you have not seen rainbow brite before and you enjoyed shows like smirfs, pokemon, and dragon ball, then i recommend taking a go at rainbow brite. it is the classic good versus evil cartoon with many good morals and fun characters .
a metal horse rises from the hole, and robotic - ly asks for rainbow brite. at first murky tries to pass himself off as her, but the horse is not fooled. when they ask him about he wants her for, the horse replies that it' s about a diamond. murky, greedy as ever tells the horse exactly where rainbow land is. this puzzles lurky who is used to him trying not to help rainbow brite. when the horse leaves, he explains that he is going to find out what the message is, and get the diamond for himself .
this routine small tots' animated feature is about a young girl named rainbow brite who brings color to the universe. she is forced to do battle with the henchmen of a wicked princess determined to plunge everything into a colorless darkness. before the princess can carry out her plan, rainbow joins up with the warrior krys and some special horses to outsmart and outfight the anti - technicolor faction .
5: the final scene in rainbow land is not mentioned, and on - x is not given to krys .
on earth things aren' t much better. the land is still thick with snow and cold. brian, rainbow brite' s earthling friend is riding his bicycle. suddenly he slips on some ice, but a rainbow appears and slows the boy before he can crash. he looks up smiling, happy to see her .
.... . i guess horsies with rainbow manes are inherently badass and loyal. xd
with all her incarnations and that fact that rainbow brite has never really left public consciousness is a true testament to how special and beloved this character is .
i believe rainbow brite has such a long - lasting legacy because she' s an inspiration. she represents hope, strength of spirit, and the power of believing in your purpose ,
bettina says the character .
rainbows themselves feel like you' ve glimpsed a momentary miracle whenever you see one, they make everyone smile! rainbow brite embodies that, so people will always love her. i' m blessed to have had the opportunity to give her a voice .
rainbow brite has only heard of orin in the stories sprites tell each other at bedtime. she thought he was a made up character, but twink insists he is a real person .
rainbow, chris, and cyborg horse have to fight through a horde of lizard monsters to get away. and the attack ends in the three of them being separated .
chris tells rainbow to retreat. rainbow accuses him of being too chicken for the mission. and he starts spewing more sexist crap about being more capable than some icky vagina person before following her up the bridge .
in the fort starlite is having his fun confusing the glitterbots by talking, because at this time they still do not realize he can talk. murky and lurky are being brought it as prisoners as well. krys smiles as he looks up and sees a rainbow coming closer. he smiles knowing that rainbow brite is coming to save them .
the movie ends with murky and lurky in their spaceship trying to find their way back to rainbow land (wait? how did they survive that fall before! ?). we don' t see rainbow brite shoot them down and kill them; but i think it' s safe to assume she eventually does .
the universe is growing dark and on earth it is eternal winter all because a selfish princess is trying to keep the diamond like planet spectra to herself. rainbow brite, a girl in charge of changing the seasons and keeping the universe colorful, steps up to stop the princess. all of her friends help, including a brash, overconfident new aquaintance called krys. if rainbow does not free spectra (and if she and krys don' t stop arguing) everything will turn gray and die .
rainbow and chris head off to face the crazy diamond princess again. and we cut to the princess' palace to see murky and lurky promising that they can deliver rainbow brite to her on account of their experience fighting her. she tells them to piss off because she astutely points out that, if they could beat her, they would have done it already (not gonna lie, i thought that was pretty cool). they change her mind by lying and telling her that rainbow brite has more belts and they know how to get them. this is the only reason they aren' t locked in a dungeon .
the sprite informs her of who he is. he is orin, the sprite who sent on - x to fetch her. together they plot a way to get krys and the others out of the fort. he gives rainbow brite the prism. he says she must give it to krys and together they will be able to fight their enemies .
i' m pretty sure stormy was my favorite rainbow sidekick when i was little. she has the power to make rain and snow; but she' s only allowed to do it in wintertime. if she tries to do it out of season; rainbow brite and her horse chase her down and ruin her good time. it sucks to be stormy .
chris uses his wrist cannon to trap three guards in ice blocks. the cartoon never shows them recovering; so it' s possible that this puts him ahead of rainbow brite in the
most villains murdered
category .
while the princess is distracted, rainbow and chris destroy her power source diamond. which, in turn, causes her entire palace to collapse (i guess she conjured her house with her insane diamond magic). while the palace is collapsing, murky threatens to shoot rainbow brite with his wacky looking gun. and this prompts starlight to pop in out of nowhere and kick him off the side of a cliff .
when rainbow brite gets to the diamond planet, she finds a bunch of fuzzy things being enslaved and forced to make nets to cover up the planets surface. but she can' t rescue them because they' re being guarded by giant killer robots! !
no, really. rainbow channels her magic through the planet (remember, the fuzzy things' planet is a giant prism) and uses the amplified beam to blow up the princess' ship before it can hit the planet .
right on cue, cyborg horse pops in the window to save them (where the hell was he when the children were being zapped! ?). unfortunately, he can' t fit in the window. and instead of just popping in kool aid man style like he should, he goes off to get help from rainbow brite' s horse starlight. even though starlight is powerless without rainbow and her belt .
the franchise pretty much ran out of steam by the end of the' 80s. there was an attempt to revive it in 1996, with mattel bringing out new, ethnically - diverse versions of the various characters, but it fell flat on its face. rainbow brite is, and probably will remain, an artifact of the 1980s .
after rainbow brite' s initial run ended, there were several attempts to reinvent her, however none of them seemed to shine quite as brightly as the original. then, in 2014, hallmark' s online network urltoken began streaming the film along with a brand new 3 episode mini - webseries. written by rachel vine, the series stared emily osment as rainbow brite and eighties teen queen, molly ringwald (who also recently appeared in the live - action jem and the holograms film), as the dark princess. the series was successful enough that it appears feeln is developing an ongoing series .
krys informs her that the princess, and her plans. when rainbow insists they stop her, krys dares her to say it to the princess. she says she will and they all leave to the princesses planet .
the dark princess is up to big - time mischief: snatching for herself spectra, the universe' s sole source of light. without spectra in its rightful place, all will be plunged into gloom and dreariness - unless rainbow brite and her friends can defeat the princess in this fantastic adventure! set in an imagination - enhancing cosmos of enchanted worlds, spunky rainbow brite, her magical horse starlite, heroic spaceboy krys, spritely twink, young earthling brian, venerable sage orin and other amazing hallmark characters confront evil by using color, magic, cleverness and joy as ammunition .
the princess decides that it might be fun to mess with the kids. so she turns off the wind machine and instead opts to let them in. once inside, the kids are attacked by blob monsters. rainbow brite blinds it with her magic rainbow belt so they can escape. diamond princess sees this and immediately decides that she must have that belt! ! so she uses a trap door to drop them into a dungeon
rainbow brite, and her magical horse starlite, must stop an evil princess and her underlings from taking over the planet spectra. when they meet orin, the wise sprite tries to make the two children get along and work together to stop the evil princess. orin tells them that they can only destroy her by combining their own powers against her. getting in the way of their mission is the sinister murky dismal and his bumbling assistant lurky who, as usual, are lavishing in the new gloom created by the darkening of spectra, as well as trying to steal rainbow' s magical color belt .
in a quick getaway from the glitterbots, rainbow brite and starlite pretend to weave rope. at first their plan works. the glitterbots merely dispenses more rope to be woven and move on, until they see that rainbow isn' t weaving a net. she is weaving a set of booties. the glitterbot charges his gem to hypnotize her, but as he shoots, on - x interferes, bouncing the ray from his shiny body back into the gem, hypnotizing the glitterbots themselves .
and several other roles. voices of her friends and enemies included mona marshall (wendy and sheila in
this movie is a bit odd, but i give it points for making rainbow brite an active female character when they easily could have had chris keep rescuing her. if it helps, the crazy princess does make an appearance in the series after the movie aired. so, that' s one less kill count for rainbow brite. xd there is also one thing i think this movie proves to be true. robot horses make anything awesome! ^ _ ^

the girl with the striped moonboots and royal - blue epaulets is back from the 1980s to save the world for a new generation of young viewers. this time the gal, her rainbow - tailed horse starlite, and her sidekick sprite twink must face down a selfish princess who has stolen the biggest diamond in the universe, preventing light from reaching the world, and sending earth into a neverending winter. (don' t try to justify the plot from a scientific standpoint .) the rerelease of this 1985 production marks the relaunching of the rainbow brite franchise, following the successful returns of other' 80s era cartoon characters like care bears and my little pony. nostalgic young parents will revel in the big hair and big shoulders, and little ones will just enjoy the pretty horses and the colors. this 85 - minute movie may also have some appeal to young males as the secondary hero is a boy with a robotic horse.

the adventures of the color protector and her friends (sidekick twink, the color kids, her horse starlite, and her human friend brian) .
rainbow brite quickly puts the booties on starlite' s hooves despite his vocal protests and they run away. they don' t get too far before they come to a large gray river. they jump into the river, but realize despite it' s liquid appearance it is thick, and starlite can' t swim in it. getting rainbow brite to a small boat, starlite tries to push her to safely, but she will not leave him. he jumps in the boat too, as the glitterbots enter the river, blasting at them, but because of the river' s depth, they miss them .
once rainbow and old fuzzy guy escape, he gives a speech about having a special device for chris. and he tells rainbow that she' s destined to help chris become the mighty warrior he was meant to be. surprisingly, she agrees to it .

rainbow brite started out as a little girl named wisp, who was magically carried off to the rainbow land. there, she found everything had become dull and dreary, a result of that entire world having been taken over by the dark one. despite cowardly advice from a sprite named twink (who became her closest friend in that realm), she made it her business to find the color belt and the sphere of light, and restore the rainbow land' s natural beauty. this she did, with the help of a flying horse named starlite and her seven friends, the color kids (red butler, lala orange, canary yellow, patty o' green, buddy blue, indigo and shy violet). after that, she remained to rule the rainbow land, with her friends in charge of their respective bands of it. her special mission was to maintain bright colors throughout the universe. her worst foes were murky dismal and his sidekick, lurky .
meanwhile another ship has crashed into the spectra surface. it is murky dismal and lurky. the spectra sprites fuss about the scratching of the surface, but murky pays no mind and lurky works on the super gloom boomer .
the ponies and a young human girl named megan must stop the evil lord tirac from taking over the ponies' peaceful world .
after hearing this news report, brian goes into his room and pulls out a key that rainbow brite gave him
in case of emergencies
. the key works by turning any door he uses it on into a portal to rainbow land. but when he tries using it, it doesn' t work (he guesses it' s because her magic has gotten weaker) .
um... wow. i think you ought to go back and watch some 80s cartoons, since they have a lot more violence than you remember. keep in mind it was the 80s that traumatized little kids by killing off the main hero (bye, optimus prime !), and also turned adorable little ponies into monsters: there' s a good reason why i' m really wary about what cartoons i' ll watch. as amazing as many cartoons were, they were also super traumatizing! granted, this particular movie was always a bit weird, but if you recollected more of the cartoon, it' s not at all. first off, the
fuzzy things
are sprites. each rainbow kid has their own hue of sprite, and the sprites harvest color crystals for rainbow brite to use. she' s also the only one that has a white sprite (named twink, if you care) as a companion, and he was always pulling color crystals from his pouch in the nick of time. the cartoon also established the relationship between rainbow brite and brian, as she accidentally caught him in a rainbow and had to take him back to rainbow land to restore his proper color to him... and yeah, they are first and foremost children, and friends. brian ended up being very helpful, so of course rainbow brite made sure he always had a way to return to rainbow land. i always liked the underlying tension between genders in the cartoon, as again, they are children, and children are always going to have that ,
ew! he' s a boy !
or ,
gross! girls !
when dealing with each other. i certainly had it with one of my best friends, who happened to be a boy, when we were kids. that' s just the way of things. can' t really call kids sexist for noticing they' re different from each other. if you can find it, i recommend tracking down the movie showing rainbow brite' s origins. then, among other things, you' ll understand why starlite is so loyal to her. and also why he' s the most magnificent horse in the universe. : d oh, before i dash for work, murky and lurky are the recurring villains of rainbow brite, so they can never die. ever. ; )
quickly the starlite distracts the glitterbots, and rainbow is able to untie him, together she throws krys the prism, and shoots it with her rainbow power, charging it. still unsure how it works, krys pulls his arm out and looks away as a blast of energy shoots his enemy. first as a heat ray, then as a blast of ice. finally free they leave .
rainbow brite has just enough power in her belt to break them all out of prison. but she tells chris that she needs to recharge her belt in her homeland before she can try to fight crazy diamond princess again .
at the princesses planet rainbow and krys see the huge fortress the princess lives in. telling their horses to stay behind they walk across the walkway toward the front gate. the princess, and her advisor count blogg see them approaching, and attempt to get rid of them. when she sees they are not easily dissuade, she allows them to enter. in the front lobby they are greeted by many small castle creatures .
the animation is wretched, and the whole thing is so sickly sweet as to be almost nauseating .
even in the world of merchandise tie - in animated movies, this rainbow brite outing is pretty terrible. one of the main points of the film revolves around the big bad tying a rope around a planet and towing it to her home with a spaceship. yeah, okay. then there are the unnecessary comic asides with two bumbling villains that don' t work on any level. over on the editing and scripting side, the action constantly shifts away from rainbow brite and her mission just to keep the ancillary characters fresh in the minds of the audience. those minor scenes, though, last a whopping 30 to 45 seconds, never providing enough time for those sequences to do anything of importance. the end result is a film that goes beyond cheesy to so sugary sweet i wanted to get my teeth checked after watching it. even other blatant money grabs of the decade like the transformers and g. i. joe movies included risk and, well, real world stakes. there' s nothing like that here, if you include winter not being able to go away... and the people of earth literally giving up because of the snow and grayness. really ?
based on papers discovered at the margaret herrick library, when cohen was developing the story, he went through several different incarnations. one of the stories introduced a villain known as the collector who was not only draining the color from the universe, but also manipulating time so the past, present, and future all existed together in one plane. another had a strange force sending the entire universe into an ice age with rainbow and krys leading the inhabitants of all the effected planets into battle. another, cohen wrote, had a raiders - style adventure that took rainbow and krys through planets of deserts, mountains, and various other natural obstacles as well as through outer space in an effort to find a villain who was consuming all the light in the universe. eventually, the story was set and after the final draft of the script was approved it took a record setting three months to produce the rest of the film.
