[edit] Article expansion

Okay, I think I successfully took this article out of the stub category by adding a synopsis. For some reason I watched this movie constantly when I was a kid, and being a boy I never was a fan of Rainbow Brite or "girls toys" but my kid sister loved this movie and liked watching it too. Anyway, in case anyone wonders why I deleted the last two external links, the first wasn't a synopsis, rather just a listing or credits and some production info that really didn't explain the movie, and the last one was based entirely on some nut's personal opinion where they say the movie as a "pagan" film, with Rainbow Brite being a "white witch" and the star on her cheek is the "mark of the beast". Seriously, whoever wrote that needs to unglue their bible from their hand and get the hell out more. Read it for the humor value, best laugh I had all day. Cyberia23 00:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Naming policy?

Why is Rainbow referred to as Wisp throughout this article? I know the backstory, but she was renamed at the end of "Beginning of Rainbowland" and is never referred to as Wisp in the film - should this be changed? Vashti 05:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Could this really be Spectra?

“

The largest known diamond is 2,500 miles across and measures ten billion trillion trillion carats. Found directly across Australia (eight light-years away) the diamond sits inside the star Lucy in the constellation Centaurus.[1]

Well technically the concept of a massive diamond in space isn't improbable, as that star "Lucy" and many other white dwarf stars are spheres of superdense carbon/oxygen - aka massive diamonds. However, I think if Spectra were real, Rainbow and her friends would be squashed by the intense gravitational forces if they landed on it. They are collapsed stars by the way only a few miles in diameter. Cyberia23 (talk) 16:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
