It’s probably an appropriate time to revisit the Rainbow Brite character after the recent Rainbow Brite-ization of the X-Men characters started trending on social media websites and blogs. Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer marked the feature film debut of the Hallmark Cards character, as well as the only film to feature her.

Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer was released in theaters on November 15, 1985. It was distributed by Warner Bros., and produced by DIC Entertainment and Hallmark Cards. The character had also appeared in a few television specials prior to the film’s release.

In her debut feature film, Rainbow Brite tries to bring spring to an Earth that is facing a perpetual winter. She must stop a wicked princess who wants all of Spectra, a planet-sized diamond through which all the light in the universe has to go through.
