This movie had a huge impact on my childhood. It gave me hope and inspiration as a young person. There's nothing like a film featuring an 80s animated icon to pump up children's emotions and show them that anything is possible! Just believe in yourself and do what's right!

Loved this movie as a kid and still as a adult I still love it. The movie is about... 1 hour 24 minutes. The movie is about Rainbow Brite and the Dark Princess. The movie brings in other characters from the show. Murky, Lurky , Brian, Krys, Stormy. The movie has a message of how one thing can effect so many people. How the princess is so hell bent on getting what she wants. Rainbow is put in so many battles. She is not only dealing with the Dark Princess but also dealing with Murky and Lurky. Then also dealing with Krys who thinks boys after better then girls. Another message letter then girls can be just and good as boys. Krys learning later that he needs Rainbow Brite. Not only since he doesn't have any magic or powers. As Rainbow bright gives Krys a "Prism" a device that uses her rainbow to give Krys the power to shoot a freezing beam and heat beam. Krys learns they have to work together to defeat their enemies. The ending is kind of dark for a kids show. Just that more satisfying.

Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer is not an especially imaginative tale, and the animation is at times lifeless.

Rated: 2/4

So incompetently crafted that it makes the Saturday-morning cartoons seem like Disney classics.

Wherever she goes, she leaves a rainbow trail. As a matter of fact, the film has rainbows everywhere. I stopped counting at 247 or so.

An exemplar of the state of children animation from that era if I ever saw one. Not a compliment, that.

The animation is wretched, and the whole thing is so sickly sweet as to be almost nauseating.
