Rainbow Brite

[Leave a Whisper]

Wish they'd do it a little more often. But I understand it's part of classic Rainbowbrite.

Guess what? Rainbow Brite has a comic series by Dynamite and it looks really, really good! Issue 1 has preview pages.

TYSM for this post   as I've been wanting to watch the original Rainbow Brite cartoons for a long time and all I had were a few dusty VHS tapes that I found while thrifting!   I ran to the website and just ordered my copy, yay!!!

Just a heads-up, the DVDs were taken from the UK home video release, and as a result they suffer from the PAL speed up problem as well as washed-out colors.

PAL?

[lalalei2001]

Movies are converted for DVD in Europe at 25 frames per second instead of 24 frames per second, resulting in a 4% faster playback of the same movie. This makes the sound higher-pitched, and can reduce animation quality by adding 'ghost frames.' The Rainbow Brite release used the PAL version, so even though it's Region 1 it still has the speed-up.

The same issue has been happening with Filmation releases lately.

I need to break down and have the series dvd sent to the local Hallmark. It's never on the shelf, you cant't beat 9.99! I have a few episodes dubbed from vhs to vhs from copies that family video had in the early 00's...

I have not purchased any of the new merchandise,  but I did fall head over heels for the  super furry Twink and almost got him (just too expensive). I have a few items from the release in early 00's. Have a Barbie-type that has a sample tag that no one can verify what she's from (got her at a thrift shop)...
