Nothing Is Sacred! Rainbrow Brite 2.0 Has Arrived!
Filed under: Etc.
Honestly, we'd like to get on board with this, but we won't. We don't like how everything from the 80s is being picked up for this generation, but re-envisioned into shiz.
If you were a fabulous little girl of the late 80s, you remember Rainbow Brite and her friends, the Color Kids. Brite was super cute, with just a little pudge to her size and she had "the most magnificent horse in the universe" named Skylite and she was all together just awesome!
Well, Brite has been brought to the new millennium and someone thought she would look much better if she was taller and thinner and more of a supermodel anime character rather than a cute cartoon.
Just what little girls need - another image they can't conform to! Thanks Hallmark!
Even the Sprites look weird!!!
No, no! We don't like this at all!
Do U?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!….Now my niece has to look at more skinny girls on TV.
NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!! WRONG!
"If you were a fabulous little girl of the late 80s…"
…like Perez…
GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! This is just stupid. No wonder girls feel so bad about themselves. I hate it.
oh my, what happened? brite was my homie along with the care bears (also rooted in recent years) and my little pony (also screwed over) .. wtf is going on? I mean it's ok to revive it, if it's done well.. urgh.. poor rainbow brite.. and I agree.. the sprites look weird! :p
I freaking love it!
Rainbow Brite was AWESOME!!!!! No remake could do her any justice.
Thats just terrible, Anorexic Rainbow Brite???? I used to own her and the horse and this is just all kinds of wrong, leave my childhood toys alone!! they already made "leaner" ponies, are they going to put boobs on them too??
They need to stop fucking with all the stuff from the 80's. It was good then so it should be good now. No need for them to have boobs or any of that other bunk. They ruin all the good stuff!
No Sir, I don't like it.
What type of Xenu shit is this.
Is that purple one supposed to be Shy Violet?? That is so wrong it hurts.
WTF! LEave rainbow brite the way she is….
GROW UP MARIO …AND SMARTEN UP…
terrible! ps the horse's name is starlite, not skylite haha
bored
NOOOO!!! what are they doing to this movie. The new image is crap! CRAP!!!! they are destorying the uniqueness that made this movie so awesome, i mean just look at the horse….WTF? This is really starting to piss me the F*** off that the movie buisness can't come up with better shit and that they feel the need to remake all these movies, obiviously they should get a new day job because they suck! It be cool if they made another ranibow brite movie if they kept it the old way. i be down for that!
dislike.
I love-love-loved that animation!
And don't like the new one.
Why can't they stick with the old one??
You just REALLY LOVE to get your readers all riled up about your hypocrisy don't you Mario? I know its all a pathetic attempt to get comments but since I have made it my personal mission to make sure people see you for who you REALLY ARE, I will continue to comment on you ludicrous ways and stupidity. YES! YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT THESE NEW CARTOONS LOOKING LIKE LITTLE SLUT MUFFINS! ITS SEXIST AND HARMS EVERY YOUNG GIRL STRUGGLING WITH BODY ISSUES OR NOT! BUT SINCE YOU PROMOTE UNHEALTHY BODY IMAGES AND SLAM PEOPLE WHO YOU CLAIM TO BE OVERWEIGHT, THEN AREN'T YOU DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THEY ARE DOING? I MEAN, DON'T YOU CALL MICHA BARTON MUSHY AND MARIAH CAREY MIMOO OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT? SO YEAH, YOU AND THE NEW RAINBOW BRIGHT ARE BOTH ALL THAT IS WRONG IN THIS SHALLOW AMERICAN SOCIETY TODAY! AT LEAST BE REAL AND ADMIT IT MARIO (OR HOWEVER THE GRAMMAR CHALLENGES PERSON THAT WRITES THIS TOTAL BULLSHIT).
nope. dont like this one bit.

why do all these cartoon chicks look like hookers?
Why do all these bitches look like a 10 cent hooker with a bad wig?
I don't like it one bit. This is worse than what they did to Strawberry Shortcake. So sad.
dont' like it… i have two little girls and i don't want them growing up thinking they have to look a certain way.. .. and ppl wonder why girls have a low self esteem and no confidence..
I haven't agreed w'you in a while. However, I so agree w' you on this one. Once again, a subliminal message gloryfying being too thin.
I have to agree with the earlier comment..
YES this is completely wrong that the media is putting yet another unrealistic standard of beauty out there for young girls to look up to.
And I'm glad you acknowledged that in this post.
But it's true…what about all the other posts?
Bash people/celebrities for what you will…but with all the hits your site gets you could definitely be playing a more active role in changing the demeaning way women are portrayed in the media.
STARlite was her horse's name. Skylite is close.
Aww
I was Rainbow Brite for halloween as a little girl…this is just wrong. Leave our 80's alone!
they made rainbow brite look like miley cyrus….great just what the world needs
WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! Rainbow Brite is an iconic 80's cartoon who was adorable, the new version is AWFUL! Why do they insist on sexing everything up nowadays?
IT WOULD BE GREAT IF AMERICA COULD UP WITH SOMETHING ORIGINAL! STOP TRYING TO REMAKE EVERY FUCKING THING!!! I like the 80's Rainbow Brite SO MUCH MORE!!! WAY CUTER! Leave it that way!
I used to get people to call me Patty Green, Rainbow's friend. Those were the days. I hate this idea. they all look ruined, and just like they were cut out of the anime style "Sailor Moon" mold. It sucks, really bad. Why are the sprites all messed up too?? Can't they just cherish the original and forget all the remaking stuff???
They all look like Bratz dolls. CRAP.
Leave Rainbow Brite the way she is!! 2.0 is so wrong in so many ways. Way to ruin a good thing.
Her horses name was Starlite
no ythe new ones are quite pretty. the old ones ugly cartoons.
I think the horse is called Starlight.
.
I agree though. Everything reinvisioned is made slimmer. I was upset to wander through Toys-R-Us to find My Little Pony taller and slimmer. Really??
So, then the boys will, of course, have giant bulges and a six-pack? Bullshit
Goddammit, what the hell are people doing with our fav childhood cartoons and characters. Hollywood turn Transformers into a shit storm of movies and now Rainbow Bite. I use to love Rainbow Bite, that was my fav cartoon growing up and the only girlie thing that I've watched since I was a tomboy. If they wanted bring it back they should have just remastered the original or just follow the same art design. What next is Hollywood going to fuck up, Thundercats or the Smufs.
LOOKS LIKE RAINBO BRIGHT AND THE COLORED KID!!!!!!
It's STARLITE not Skylite. ROFL
fuck this shit! i ain't havin no kids anyways. spare them all this crap.
So… not only am I annoyed that the cute characters from my childhood have been turned into Barbie dolls, but what's up with eliminating the "color" from the Color Kids? Indigo (the African American girl) is gone, as are Patty O'Green (the Irish girl) and Shy Violet (the smart girl). Let's just make them as bland as possible! Who the heck is the pink girl? Is she just a generic white girl? The purple one looks like Shy Violet, if she stopped being shy and started being slutty. *sigh* Why mess with a good thing, folks?
erg, they need to stop ruining our fabulous eighties cartoons!!!!!!!!!
THEY'VE RUINED HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she was my idol when i was younger
STARLITE. Her horse's name is STARLITE. He is not a skylite.
There is no way in HELL I would let any daughter of mine watch that crap.
Little girls do not need more anorexia to look up to. I loved Rainbow Brite the way she was. My cute Rainbow Brite doll (which I'm sure is still in my parents' basement somewhere, so my kids can have it instead of this crap) was huggable and didn't make me want to stop eating! Screw this crap. My kids are going to watch DVDs from the 80s and no modern TV! It's all crap!
"Just what little girls need - another image they can't conform to! Thanks Hallmark!"
U hit the nail on the head with that one. it's awful. no wonder 1 in 3 girls has an eating disorder by the time they turn 18!!
That is so wrong!!!! Instead of remaking all of our beloved 80's cartoons, why can't we get a network that will put the originals back on tv? That would be awesome and I could actually sit down and enjoy watching cartoons with my kids. It's amazing how much children's television sucks today!
So Ridiculous…
First, you can't make something that was that great any better!!!!
Second, could they have made them any thinner…Posh called, she wants her waistline back.
Third, I'm a little disturbed with all the re-makes & re-vamping of old school shiz…doesn't ANYONE in Hollywood have a creative bone in their body!!!
satanic…
What the fuck is this garbage!? Why do people insist on reviving 80's cartoons and completely making over them!? I was furious with what they did to Strawberry Shortcake, but now Rainbow Brite!? WHY!? The original was awesome! And like what DaisyAdir had said, they made them look anorexic! This is so wrong!
oh shut up you pick on women all the time about there weight i can't believe more of you don't smell the bull shit he spewing out
STOP FUCKING WITH MY CHILDHOOD! NO MORE ANOREXIC RAINBOW BRIGHT MUST GO!!
Ugh! I LOVED Rainbow Brite as a kid… How could they make her so ugly. She was adorably cute. Why did they make her look like a teenager now? It's just not right. Kids should be kids … The new drawings aren't even pretty.
omg!!! no!!!
I was a little girl of the 90's and I LOVED Rainbow Brite. It was my favourite show
OMG! SHOCKIN!!! i loved rainbow brite, strawberry shortcake, care bears, alvin and the chipmunks… how dare they!!!
starlite not skylite
UGH Noooooooooo!!! There was nothing wrong with them before!! now they look like typical kiddywhore bullshit.
I TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTAAAAAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS A FAB CHILD OF THE 80S AND WATCHED THIS SHOW RELIGOUSLY … I LOVED HOW BRITE WAS A KID NOT THIS TEENAGE BARBIE SHIT… MAKES MEEEE SO SAD….
CAN WE START A PROTEST???? I FEEL THAT IS NECESSARY……..
love the rainbow brite. there is a lady at my work that wears bright mismatched clothes and everyone calls her rainbow brite ha ha ha ha
I TTTTTTOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY AGREE!! THIS IS BULLSHIT….
I WAS A FAB CHILD OF THE 80S AND WATCHED THIS SHOW RELIGOUSLY…. I LOVED THAT BRITE WAS A KID NOT THIS TEENAGE BARBIE SHIT! SO DISAPPOINTED…
CAN WE START A PROTEST…. I FEEL THAT IS NECESSARY……..
I hate when they re-work these characters. They did it to the Care Bears, too. Now those girls look like sexed up fairies…great. Friggin' ridiculous.
I HATE THIS!! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!! I just got a Rainbow Brite skin for my laptop & now she's looking like the new Holly Hobbie & the others! UGH!!!
No No No No No
They look slutty - the originals looked like little girls, kind of, why does everything have to have a sexual element to it, these are our kids for gods sake.
WTF!!!! NO. ITS ALL WRONG.
No!No!No!!!
I loved Rainbow Brite!!! And I still do!
Why did they do that, so wrong!!!
SO WRONG!!!!
former characters were cute and nice as you said…. and innocent…
what's the fixation with sexualizing female characters???
This is NOT Rainbow Brite. This is a Lisa Frank rip-off gone bad.
PLEASE leave the 80's calssics alone!!! Some if us liked Rainbow and the Color Kids just the way they were—looking like kids instead of high fashion models!!
That is just sick, why cant they leave anything alone, it was awsome because it had the "80's tint" to it! Now she just looks like a whore. sad face
man this is really upsetting to me. I have my five year old watching all my old tape recorded VHS' of Rainbow Brite. Now I have to explain why they updated both her and Dora the Explorer, for no damn reason 'cept they didnt think they were up to standard in the looks department. how humans have made it 5 million years I will never know, with this current Brainwashing cultural mindset I'm sure we'll implode.
THEY KILLED HER!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!??????? :_(
man I forgot to mention Strawberry Shortcake! Its a travesty!
I'm so sick of this crap.
You are freaking kidding me!! Why do they have to 'sluttify' everything for the new millenium? Ew!! STOP!!
I'm not at ALLL happy with the skinny Rainbow brite >=(
Oh Dear!!! I loved Rainbow Brite… How awful!!!
This is fucking annoying already, i mean they messed up carebears, my little ponies and now this, cmonnn. Leave things alone!!! They were fine how they were.
Sure, there are improvements that could have been made from the original, but this remake is just seriously f-ed up. Do we need more images that reinforce body issues, gender stereotypes, and whiteness?
Also, Indigo was my favorite Color Kid 'cuz she wore pants and was a person of color. I betcha you're not going to see any of that rif-raf in the new Rainbow Brite. So f-ed up.
No way. That is just ridiculous. As if it isn't hard enough for little girls to have a good self esteem. Another stupid skinny bitch has to be created for them to look at.
Geez not only re-done but sexed up, they were so cute and innocent looking!
this made me wanna cry a 'lil bit– rainbow brite was my fav when i was little- now she looks like rainbow barbie– more crap for me to explain to my daughter about how WRONG it really is
homogenized stick figures
I totally agree that it's completely wrong! They just look completely weird! I still have my original Rainbow Brite blanket! I've had it since I was 5!!!!!!!!!!
Coming from u this is hilarious. All u do it talk shit about peoples weight.
You are a fucking hypocrit!
When did Rainbow bright become a anorexic! WTF this is just wrong… if you want to bring it back bring it back old school the cartoons they had when we were kids. What's the the snorks!!
WHy are they built like women? They're supposed to be little girls.
FAIL!!!
A travesty of the highest orders. What idiot decided to destroy Rainbow Brite? I'd like to meet them and tell them off from the bottom of my soul. Grrr…
WTH! They took a cute little child character and turned her into a tween slut! These new characters are just something else for little girls to look at and think they need to look like.
Unbelievable!! Society is completely screwed up! That's half the problem with kids today. Even cartoon characters are sticks? What about showing one with a little exercise or a little "baby fat?"
Boo….sucky!
Wow. I just pulled my Rainbow Brite Costume out for my daughter to wear this year. Why grow her up and make her look like Barbie? I want my daughter to see her like the cute "normal" Rainbow Brite she was!
I HATE it!!!!! Grrrrr Why do they change EVERYTHING?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Makes me sooooooooooooooooooooo mad!
Like many other posters in this thread, I completely agree about your hypocrisy. You'll make fun of ANY celebrity who has even a LIL bit of weight on them, yet you come to the defense of an animated series and young girls everywhere on behalf of "body image?"
—
You are nothing but a pathetic attention whore. I wonder - is there even an ounce of humanity, sincerity or true compassion in you? Or did you put all of that up for sale and/or trade it to the devil for fame?
—
I pity you.
Starlite… get a fact chekcer.
what the holy flippin' fuck!!!!!!???????????? look how slutty they look!!!!! is nothing sacred!!!?!?!?!??!!?
"We don't like this at all! Do U?" NO!!! I definitely don't. I don't like this trend of Hollywood rehashing old crap and doing a bad job of it to boot. Get some new fucking ideas already! I don't need to re-live the 80's again - not in toys, cartoons, fashion, bad hair, bad TV or overblown shitty action films.
