Leave your thoughts about Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer.
| Chicago TribuneRobert BlauRainbow Brite and the Star Stealer is not an especially imaginative tale, and the animation is at times lifeless. |
| Boston GlobeMichael BlowenSo incompetently crafted that it makes the Saturday-morning cartoons seem like Disney classics. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonAn exemplar of the state of children animation from that era if I ever saw one. Not a compliment, that. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldNoisy, subpar cartoon adventure with lots of peril. |
| User ReviewSamantha SEven though I am all grown up now, I still enjoy this film. For being an 80's cartoon movie, it actually was well writen. It never gets old to me. My husband even enjoyed it and he is no Rainbow Brite fan. If you enjoyed the 80's cartoons, I reccomend this film. |
| User Reviewashley fTHIS IS PRETTY AND RAINBOW AND CUTE AND RAINBOW AND ALL "THE HORSE IS SOOOO CUTE" ITS GREAT. |
| User ReviewDana SFound this on DVD in Target and did the happy dance in the aisle...then looked around to see if anyone noticed |
| User ReviewLee MWhy do all critics hate this movie? I would understand if it does have certain problems for a theatrical animated feature that's based on a cartoon, but I think it's still nicely stunning with a new catchy theme song. |
| User ReviewElizabeth GThis is my favorite movie in my childhood! I loved it! |
| User ReviewSusie HI watched this today to see if it would be as awesome as I remember it was circa 1985....good news, it TOTALLY was! Although I don't remember her horse talking, or being gay, but then his name IS Starlight and he does have a beautiful rainbow main! |
