A beloved show from the 80s

Rainbow Brite is a nostalgic show from the 80s that parents from that era are familiar with. After all, they’ve grown up with Wisp, Twink, Starlite, and the Color Kids and have lived vicariously through their adventures!

The show aired in 1984 with “The Beginning of Rainbowland.” A movie, Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer was released after.

Rainbow Brite has been getting some love recently as girls, who are now moms have been sharing nostalgic moments on the show. We can’t wait for more details about the projects!
