Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer Trailers

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.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
morrison-dylan-fan Searching round for an animation DVD to pick up for a friend as a Christmas gift,I was surprised to stumble across a Rainbow Brite boxset,which along with containing the entire series,also featured a spin-off movie.With having some memories of the show,and also having never heard about the movie version before,I felt that it would be a good time to find out how "brite" this rainbow really is.The plot:Visiting earth from Rainbow Land,so that she can officially bring the long Winter season to an end,Rainbow Brite is horrified to discover that someone has stopped sunlight from reaching earth,by covering up a near by diamond planet called Spectra.Fearing that all life will soon die out on earth,Brite rushes to the planet Spectra,where she soon finds out,that diamonds really aren't forever.View on the film:Despite the supporting character's having ear gratingly high-pitched voices,the lead voice cast thankfully contrast this,by each giving terrific performances,with Peter Cullen, (aka:Optimus Prime!) stealing every scene as the boo-hiss baddie Murky Dismal,and Bettina Bush giving a graceful performance as Rainbow Brite.Shooting the film in a "key" animation style, (where the bare minimum of a character's movement is used) director's Bernard Deyries and Kimio Yabuki cover the movie's clear low budget (the movie held the record for being the quickest animated film production:3 months) by splashing primary colour's across the screen,which with showing the dark shadow chocking out the light from the planet Spectra,also gives this delightfully brite rainbow a shining appearance.
Garrett Personally I think that all cartoons are stupid. However, this movie is perfect for little kids as they grow up. Sure the script may not have been perfect, but do you really expect a cartoon from the 80's to win an Academy award for perfect script? But it's is perfect to let your young children watch. It is the same Good vs. Evil story. The idea of a protector of colors may seem stupid for adults, however, this movie was clearly made FOR CHILDREN ONLY. If you want an academy award winning movie, well then keep out of the family section at blockbuster. But I still would fully recommend this for ANY child and parents, it will keep them occupied.
acbl17 All right guys, here's the deal with this movie. it's not the best but for all of you 80s kids out there it'll bring back fond memories of your childhood. Personally, i love this movie. i still love rainbow brite and the care bears. so, in my opinion, if you aren't a kid now or were a kid that loved and/or loves rainbow brite you won't like this movie at all.
SmapdiGV This movie is tied with The Care Bears Movie as my favorite movie from when I was little. I used to watch the TV Show, I had all of the Rainbow Brite dolls, and I must have seen this movie 50 times. The cartoons of the 80's really were much better than the ones that are out today like Pokemon and those other stupid things. Anyway, if you have a young child I would definitely recommend renting this movie.
