Rainbow Brite and her horse Starlite battle Stormy and her horse Skydancer for control of the weather on Earth! Rainbow Brite apparently wins, but when the winter snow doesn't melt it turns out something more sinister is happening. An evil princess on the distant planet of Spectra, which is the source of all light in the universe, is trying to take it over for herself. She has enslaved the friendly inhabitants of the planet with evil yellow robots who are covering it with netting. Rainbow Brite and Starlite travel there to stop her, pursued by a couple of hapless goons and getting help from a native Spectra boy. Surprisingly dark story line, after a sugary sweet opening song, and colorful animation propel this beyond all expectations into quite an entertaining film, especially if you are in the mood for nostalgic 80s anime.
