Oh HELL NO!

As a child of the 80s, I was already furious about the "reinventing/reimagining" of Strawberry Short Cake and My Little Ponies AND Care Bears. But when you f*ck with Rainbow Brite, you cross a line.

They looking like BRATZ dolls! This is just unacceptable.

What in the hell? Why fix something that isn't broken?

They are like sluttty versions of the toys we used to have... it just isnt right.  I was Rainbow Brite for Halloween in kindergarten, I loved her.

I was Rainbow Brite for Halloween too and I LOVED that costume! My mom made it and is was super realistic. Why does everything for kids have to be sexualized now?

Ditto!! Rainbow Brite was one of my all time favorites. I actually have the material, so my mother can make me an outfit for Halloween to go as her. Sadly, we aren't dressing up this year because we will be moving!

That is crazy! I hate when they do that to our childhood things. Keep them the way they used to be...kids will still play with them. I was Rainbow Brite for Halloween too one year!

I am beyond upset about this. I LOVED LOVED LOVED Rainbow Bright. There is still a Patty O'Green doll in the attic at my parents house. Why does she need to change? She was cute and slightly chubby even!

so sad....I really hate all of the images of today.  No wonder kids are growing up TOO fast.

 Well, now you can be Rainbow Brite again this year and it won't be horrible when it gets your hubby's heart racing.

 I think this all has to do with something I read about Dora the Explorer "growing up."  Girls are too used to the Bratz style imaging and once they're older than about 4, the industry is worried they will lose interest in baby-ish cartoons.  Well, I'm pretty sure Bratz are no more due to Barbie unleashing the fury of a thousand h3lls on them, so why don't we try to get back to the point where cartoons that look like cartoons were still appealing to us at the age of 6!
