did heather die or something? I was born in 87 but I did watch rainbow brite as a guy. Is she the blond or? Also did she play duckie in land before time???? Help.
@trisrays Yes she was the blond one. Heather O'Rourke died on February 1 1988, after being misdiagnosed for Crohns disease and instead died of bowel obstruction. She was 12. As to who played Ducky it was Judith Barsi. She also died in 1988. On July 25 she and her mother were shot and killed by her father.
I meant, the anatomy of the horse was so realistic.
You just didn't see that in a lot of cartoons. The movements and the muscle tone was beyond what you'd see in most cartoon at that time. Especially, as girly one.
With rainbows as a theme, you'd expect it to look more like something from My Little Pony, but Star Lite was different. He was LOOKED cool.
I loved that even his character design wasn't patronizing to little kids, even little girls. That was a first.
When I first saw this commercial it blew my mind. Not the toys, but the fact you could see the horse through the transparent rainbow and it was anatomically correct.
You just didn't see animation like that very often. I thought Rainbow Brite was from space. I don't know why.
Imagine my shock when the cartoon aired a year later. It was still very imaginative. Punk mixed with new wave made to look super cute. It was so bizarre.
I heard that Heather & Judith Barsi were in a Rainbow Brite Commercial together that would be soooo cute, they were very cute and wonderful little girls.... Judith was a child actress (voice of Ducky in The Land Before Time)she was killed by her father at the age of 10 and Heather died from a sickness at the age of 12..... rip little girls........

I actually really love the animation used in this commercial. Not sure if it would have actually fit for the show but it's quite nice. :)
