Your an idiot. Facts are facts and that's all I'm saying. The whole purpose of network kids tv in the 80's were to sell toys and generate sponsorship dollars. In the 70's they saw great potential for sales in the children's market and commissoned these cartoons.Even in the 20's, the government commissioned artist and cartoonist to campaign against jazz music because it was the devils music. I love Rainbow Brite and the 80's, but most of these shows had bias symbolisms of the Regan Era.

Your an idiot it's a fucking cartoon.

butheadVSbevus, the truth is just the truth. You can deny it, but most Americans pretend to brave, believe in a social order and most can even stand up to their boss. The boss is always the good guy because he makes the money. But at least, one good thing is that Rainbow Brite wasn't a victim and showed a capable girl who didn't need a man to help solve her problems. Even if, techincally, she was a benevolent overseer.

Come on twink just shut up no one cares about your bullshit rainbow brite propaganda.

It's kind of ironic. The sprites are kinda like Rainbow Brite's underpaid slaves and so were then Asian animators who worked on this cartoon.I love Rainbow Brite but this cartoon subconciously desincitizes young kids to work exploitation and makes it acceptable. That's older Americans become submissive to their companies when they become old enough to work.It's kind of sad that entertaiment is used this way (without children or parents realizing it).

I'm sorry to say, because I know the truth is offensive to most, but Rainbow Brite, the thirteen episode series (not the specials or the movie) were animated by some of the least skilled and cheaper South Asian studios. Might Monstromurk Menace was US animated but looked absolutely horrendous.We really should humble ourselves and give more credit to the countries that actually help flesh our ideas and, in most cases, to all the work. American pride is one thing. Hubris is another.

Even Disney television shows (like DuckTales)were animated by it's Thailand division. The second season was actually US animated and that's why the quality was so crappy. Disney saved its good animators for its feature films. Outsourcing of animation was custom in the 80's because there was more integrity in the work. I actually think collaborative efforts yeild better results anyway. American companies simply used corporate money to "buy" talent and the result was the 1980's thirty minute ads.

Sorry, TheLostLenor. Like most cartoons in the 80's, very few were 100% American. Hallmark contracted Jean Chalopin (a french producer and writer) to come up with the concept. Look at the credits. Chalopin came up with many other concepts like Popples, and Wheeled warriors. Americans did the character design and he did the story and most of the animation (like most American cartoons of that era) was done in Southeast Asia because it was cheaper (to outsource) and you got better quality.
