every morning is a brand new day

oh my gosh, rainbow brite and the star stealer FINALLY came in the mail yesterday. and i FINALLY remember something from my childhood. after weeks of ponies and jem and no memories whatsoever, rainbow brite finally broke my childhood amnesia.

i think i liked rainbow brite more than ponies or jem. I have all the dolls, and a rainbow house for the sprites. and somewhere, there's a fantastic picture of me wearing a rainbow brite shirt visiting someone in a rainbow brite suit (oh, i mean the REAL rainbow brite) at the mall. and who doesn't like color. certainly i like color more than i like ponies and maybe even more than 80's girl pop.

i remember the princess and the pet diamond and the metal horse and the boy and all the color kids. rainbow brite makes me happy, happy, happy. it's too darn bad i'm not a raver, because then it would be socially acceptable to start dressing like her. (do they still have ravers?)

rainbow brite is such a good leader, i should discuss her instead of lame old robert e lee.

since rainbow is perfect and all that's right with the world, and there's nothing contrived or predictable about the movie i won't give the tired recap. it's darn good though! i may just buy it. it's less than $20, much cheaper than that dumb old jem. but i guess she has to raise money to support her home for girls.

the special features are ok for a kid, a rather unfun color matching game. and the dumbest sing along ever. instead of putting the words on the screen so you can read them and sing along, they materialize in rainbow colors as the syllable is being said. kinda pretty, but not very useful for singing along. here's the song:

Brand New Day

Wake up flowers
I've been up for hours
There's work to do
Birds start flyin
No more "me-oh-my"in
There's work to do

Everybody's got a part to play
To start each day in a beautiful way
Every morning when the night goes away
Every morning is a brand new day
Even little things
Need a helping wing
There's work to do
Sun start glowing
Pack away your snow things
There's work to do
Up and at 'em
You can't just hang around when
There's work to do

Everybody's got a part to play
To start each day in a beautiful way
Every morning when the night goes away
Every morning is a brand new day
Morning, Rainbow Brite
Feel the sunlight
There's work to do
Everybody's got a part to play
To start each day in a beautiful way
Every morning when the night goes away
Every morning is a rainbow day
Every morning is a brand new day
And you've got a part to play
