Rainbow Brite - The Begining of Rainbowland Part 2.2

[Glanecia]

Rainbow Brite kicks ass. That is all.

[BKDBrian2]

The weather bureau reports no sign of an end to the dreariness that's bringing the whole world to a stop. The accident rate is up, birthrate is down, and every country in the world is blaming the whole situation on some other country. Hospitals report their patients have stopped asking when they'll get better. Things have become so depressing, in fact ... in fact, why am I even here? Why should I be the only one who hasn't given up?

[Christinacolasanto]

The purple color kid is a brainy chick but if they are surposed to represent all the colors of the rainbow why is there no purple (or violet) on the rainbow itself?

[marchmaddness2010]

This reminds me of the south park episode which Kenny Lyle Butters and Stan went to in imagination land which had some of these characters in it and other 80's character like the smurfs

[aryllia]

@marchmaddness2010

I miss the smufs o.o

Never mind the harem situation with only one girl and whatnot XD

(you don't happen to know what episode of south park that was?)

[marchmaddness2010]

It was imagination land when they were attacked by the terrorist who blow up the wall which had the monsters that gave kids nightmares and it was dark and black on that side and the god dreams with castles and every cartoon character from smurfs on and it had a castle and a rainbow in it .

[jeremalaria]

Lyle? Kyle

[Mirokugirl15]

@marchmaddness2010 Dude, Smurfs came out in 1958 not the 80's.

[marchmaddness2010]

@Mirokugirl15 I know the comic came out in 1958 by a belgian Peyo but it was not a us comic strip and when HB bought the rights from Peyo for the Smurfs the cartoon came out in 1981 and some of the characters on the smurfs cartoon HB came out with. 

[SwapMeetFlea]

Lol! Gotta love Rainbow Brite. Can't get more evil than a baddie trying to steal a little girls accessory piece!

It was a pretty nice belt though.

[JuanMamaril]

That evil entity Rainbow Brite fought kinda looks like NoHeart from Care Bears, so I take it he lost to Rainbow Brite & took out all his frustration on the Care Bears huh, what a loser! :P

[anime2192]

what was rainbow brite called before....winx?? or wink...what is it?

[OnnaOoji]

wisp

[leiaromanvoski]

What happen to the baby?

[melodiclyrics]

the baby was the sphere of light that Rainbow Brite was looking for, so at the end she became the light of the land, as far as I can tell.

[Mysticgamer]

Kind of like Chibi Chibi from Sailor Moon Stars

[anime2192]

that's so sad...and happy at the same time

i was like crying at 3:28....coz it's like a metaphor for life...there will always be people who try to bring you down and 'take the colour out of ur life' but you have to fight to keep that colour in

[Ladissea]

The episodes are listed on wikipedia. Im glad this has been posted, but rainbow is alot more corny than I remember.

[NashiNashii]

Hahah, all 80's cartoons are! But they are fun.

[lolatmarshall]

thanks for the videos i love rainbow bright :)

[DarkAngel45276]

lurky should be good on rainbows side he loves the colours really but guess he loves murky too much

[gigart]

which episode is the next one?? o.o they aren't numbered v.v

[Leotaku]

would be peril in the pits

[gigart]

thanks =)

[Muppets4Life]

Hmm... I thought teh color on Starlits brow was blue in later Rainbow Brites, not red like in this one. I know it's all the colors but I thought blue was usually on the forehead...

[demongal190]

i thought the same too oh well was a classic cartoon not like cartoons nowadays

[psailormoon]

it is, in later eps

he has a star on his face as well later on

[Muppets4Life]

Oh, the star! That just brought me back. Yes, thanks for reminding me about that one! ^_^

[psailormoon]

no worries ^.^

i couldnt figure out why he looked naked at the end there.... and then i realised THE STAR!!

lol XD

[Evalynn3f]

He has a star on his face at the end here too. It's just harder to see because there are few shots of him in color, and in one it's covered up by his hair.

[Muppets4Life]

Why was Starlite just randomly on a cylinder of rock that look as though it had no way up it?

[cybertail]

the rainbow has the colors red, orange, yellow, green, and blue...what about indigo and violet????

[tennyomelime]

This video is missing a few seconds in the beginning I do believe. And yes, I did watch this episode that much as a kid that I really do remember the little details. lol

[Tanavids]

Wow, the memories...

I bet if this were a modern show the right wing nutjobs would call it gay propaganda w/ the rainbows.

[Earthchild88gmal]

Why do the bad guys always laugh. Seems like a happy group.

We could use some Rainbow brite in Denver.  The magic is gone babe

[Skymouth]

I thought I was too old to watch RB when it first came out, but I always thought Starlite was cool. And Lurky is just a cute buffoon.

[wildfire19861987]

ok here's another starlite question. Here his mane is red at the front and blue in back. I've seen him with blue on the front and red in the back. which one's right??? ( i pick blue on the front)

[LostInWonderland]

Twink's voice can get a little annoying.

[DimeraFan28]

Wow. Awesome. I Think That Baby Is So Cute.

[DeoSoleil]

I always thought that the big battle was somewhat anti-climactic, but I suppose that's because it's a kids show.

[ksensibaugh]

Yeah, go figure....death by a rainbow, lol!

[Muppets4Life]

Lol. So true. sad...

[therealJMTaylor]

This cartoon is about imperialism. Think about it.

[tennyomelime]

Dude, you may be on to something...

But would Rainbow be imperialistic or would it be the Lord of Darkness guy?

[therealJMTaylor]

Rainbow Brite I think is imperialism. The Lord of Darkness isn't actually "evil" or "dark", but this is how imperialism sees all civilizations that aren't like them.

Maybe...

[ShiningLunae]

I think it's just a show about rainbows, magic, and bravery :)

[mastmedia]

therealJMTaylor, as much as I liked Rainbow Brite, I think you nailed the symbolism of Western thinking on the head.

All their cartoons do show an "Us Against Them/ Light or Dark" mentality.

Cartoons like this helped indoctrinate kids into this mode of thinking (dark is evil, dark is bad), but it's very subtle.

Evil is not a color, it's a mentality and method of behavior.

[itsterrie]

i'm writing a book about a group of people who think that the other smarter group is evil, and that the first group is good. but nobody is evil in this case, so yeah.

[battousaiblade]

this animation is so much better than the shit that's on now.

god i miss my childhood. i'd repeat it in a heartbeat

[FilmGeekLover]

Thanks so much for uploading!! Haven't seen it since I was a kid!!

[sailemur]

Huh...in the movie for My Little Pony, the villain was defeated the same exact way: rainbow consumption.

Ya know, those rainbows sure are hungry!

[ClarinetsKickBrass]

Don't feel bad, I was thinking the same thing.

[rimera13]

I missed something... first she was going up to find the baby, and Twink just got kidnapped... and now she's giving some kind of signal? Have I missed a part of the show? This numbering system is confusing...

[sailemur]

Agreed. The numbering system is broken, but there's just a small gap here.

Fix the labels for this movie! :D

[lindsay10020]

heheh Mercky look at all the pwitty colors XD

[ellietheslayer]

Does anybody else love how Buddy Blue just SHOWS UP? lol :) I guess Patti O' Green was special enough to be rescued twice!!! :) :) :)

[XxZaTzxX]

I used to watch Rainbow Brite with my cuz...until the video got taped over.

[BoredomKillsPie]

what is rainbow brights name again?

[KatonUchiha]

Wisp

[Missiekraft]

I LOVE Rainbow Brite have allways done it, watch it 2-3 times a day when i was younger.

It´s sad the kid´s today can´t see this, it light my life up.

wish the realese it on DVD(orginal version)

[glaedr148]

I remember Rainbow Brite.I wish it was still around today....

[Quest4Truth7]

when i was a kid i used to think i was rainbow brite haha did kinda look like her (part japanese version) i was so convinced! my middle name is Iris (Goddess of Rainbow) hahaha funny SO MANY MEMORIES!!! :D

[willcamick]

wow when i was a kid i watch this cartoon and my life was so happy so grate but now ......

[DS9LoverForever]

Yeah...I know what you mean.

[fredsnightmare]

The animation, colours, characters and imagination in this cartoon are amazing much better than some of the modern day stuff!!

[DS9LoverForever]

I agree. The modern day stuff, just doesn't work for me. I love the cartoons from when I was a kid. They were much more colorful and had some kind of meaning behind them.Lol.

[rachboo]

this brings back so many memories. i used to love rainbow brite!!

[bohemianvegan]

What happened to Baby Brite? So now she's that talking orb? That confused me, even as a child.

[mysticfyreangel8]

the baby is the sphere of light

[Blancoo]

@mysticfyreangel8 .... I thought it was future Stormy.

..That's so disappointing.

[harliette]

@mysticfyreangel8 As Innocence and spirit♦

[Ishattar]

Could anyone who has this show please upload the last episode? I'd really appreciate it. :)

[mysticfyreangel8]

i have it it is the queen of the sprites correct? i am still working on trying to find a way i can upload it

[Ishattar]

As for the lady who gives orders, fans will tell you she's Lady Brite, queen of Wisp's world, but I wonder where they get all their fun facts from, because it's not evident here. Also, did you all know that (according to random fan outlines) this is taking place roughly in 1200 AD? Dang, is Rainbow Brite ever old...and ageless. What with the apparition and the mystical talking orb...does that make anyone else wonder if RB's an alien?

[silverstar27]

You really need to get out more, it's a cartoon!

[mysticfyreangel8]

the talking orb is the sphere of light. i think the ladie's voice in the begining was the light telling wisp what she needs to do

[Ishattar]

...I'm not saying this show isn't cute, but come on, people! The "pilot episode" seems more like a pastiche of archetypes straight out of "fantasy epics for dummies" rather than a logical explanation of the hierarchical order in rainbowland. Where exactly is Wisp from, what is her role in her society (they'd really send a kid on such a dangerous mission?), who is that woman? And just how did she wake up Starlite?

[oceanblu85]

omg I haven't seen this show in ages! I used to watch it all the time as a kid. Thanks for the upload!

[vballn803]

it wont play :(

[2ndsuperman]

This show left a whole lot of unanswered questions. Starting with where did Wisp come from and who is that woman she's getting her orders from? What was that creature she fought and where did it come from? If she is the source of all color in the universe then does that mean she is taking over someone else's roll from before her? I guess I must be thinking too much about a cartoon!

Seriously though, did Hallmark really create her? I had heard that somewhere else before.

[Eirthe]

Yes, Hallmark created Rainbow Brite in 1984.

[brightbite]

Well, think about it from a mythic hero stand point- she fought off the evil in her own land, and is told by a type of heavenly being 'sphere of light' to help others do the same. From a Judeo Christian stand point, she's like a disciple, going out into the world to create hope the way she was told to.

[Ishattar]

I'm totally with you, 2ndsuperman, on everything you pointed out. And you're definitely not overthinking it. Just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean they have to dumb it down for the kiddies. The plot in this episode had a lot of potential and they squandered it by rushing through it as though none of the big questions was important. If I had seen this as a kid I would have expected some serious explanations.

[ladylabret]

omg i've never seen the beginning before!! I have an essay due 2moro and I've just spent my time watching rainbow brite - it was worth the assignment fail, hehehe

[cellophanegirl]

They like rescue Patty O'Green twice, and never rescue Buddy Blue. You just have to pretend the second time they rescue Patty they rescued Buddy instead I guess. haha. That's always bothered me about this, but I guess it's far to late to fix, someone really should have paid attention to that.

But thanks for uploading this. I haven't seen it in years.

[seraphinapandora]

I noticed this too! I was so confused, because Patty O'Green was there twice, and then they were talking about finding the seventh Colour Kid, Shy Violet, yet Buddy Blue was never found.... So confused. XD;;

[Nilyore]

for all of you, the baby is not any color kid. It's the sphere of light. gah

[kristineisabell]

anyone knows where you can buy these movies ?

[vballn803]

amazon

[neptune04]

check video stores that are selling their vhs movies off thats how I got my copy (second one first was screwed up)

[preppywasp]

Where's the blue color?

[Dragonstar13]

Thanks for posting this. I forgot rainbow even had a real name.

[lenaegirl]

that part where the color kids were running and thier color was streaming behind them was awesome

[karnella]

There's an episode where the baby comes back as a color kid isnt there? I saw her in the movie.

[Ironqueenrkl]

Simply the best cartoon ever! Thanks for uploading this show!

[wowplasmatics]

Yeah, I thought the baby was Stormy the whole time, so I kept thinking "Man... Stormy really grows up ungrateful..."

[americangeiko]

The horse rocks! Don't hate!

[richleahy]

hahahaha....not just you :p

[DigiSim]

Is it just me, or did the Sphere of Light bukkake Rainbow at 2:49 when she said her name?

[mysticfyreangel8]

the baby is the sphere of light, even though she kinda resembles a baby version of Stormy. :P

[faceleg24601]

i thought the baby looked more like Tickle Me Pink....or am I just a lil too obssessed with this show?

[tuffxsnowflake]

i actually thought maybe the baby was stormy but sphere of ligth works too

[seraphinapandora]

It's Tickled Pink, isn't it? And I thought she was Tickled Pink too.

[ourabouras]

yeah i thought the baby looked like stormy too, but she also had the same voice as that bright light ball thingy that brought rainbow to the planet. aw the mysteries of early 80's cartoons.

[NekoCylestia]

How come the baby looked like Stormy?

I'm confuzled...

neko-chan

[astellus]

I really never realized how into himself the horse was when I was a kid. Love it anyways! ^_^
