Rainbow Brite Reboot

Post by ARNie »

Emily Osment and Molly Ringwald’s new roles in the Rainbow Brite cartoon reboot might give some nostalgic 80s kids the perfect Halloween costume ideas.

Emily Osment is voicing Rainbow Brite in a “limited series” event for the video-on-demand network Feeln, which is available online and on Roku, Xbox, mobile phones, and tablets. The series will premiere on November 6.

Those who grew up in the 80s will remember Rainbow Brite as the cute and colorful cartoon character whose job was to ensure that the world stayed bright and prismatic. According to E! Online, Emily Osment’s incarnation of Rainbow Brite will embark on “a quest to save Rainbowland from dark forces.”

Rainbow Brite’s main nemesis will be The Dark Princess, a character who was featured in the Rainbow Brite and The Star Stealer movie. In the animated film, The Dark Princess attempts to steal a planet called Spectra because it’s the largest diamond in the universe. It’s also a giant prism that all light in the universe must pass through, and the greedy villain’s attempt to drag it back to her world envelopes the Earth in an eternal winter.

Molly Ringwald will voice The Dark Princess in the Rainbow Brite reboot, and she’ll be the main antagonist of the series. There’s no word on whether the other big Brite baddies, Murky Dismal and his sidekick Lurky, will pop up on the show. Murky’s main goal was to destroy all colors so that the world would be bleak and gray.

Maybe :p
Im all for new DID scenes and it will be nice to see a show with an antagonist instead of the happy feely reboots like the new strawberry shortcake one on the Hub :p

The reason I stick to Japanese animation these days because I can never get into the "Flash" style animation where they cut corners by distorting or rotating the character's limbs to give the illusion of movement.

I think I like this new Rainbow design. The old version had creepy looking dolls eyes.

This was a matter of time since the MLP explosion. Surprised it took this long and it's not on a grander scale.
