Rainbow Brite made her animated debut in the syndicated prime-time television special, "Peril in the Pits," which was first aired on June 27, 1984. Later, a pair of two-part specials were produced: "The Mighty Monstromurk Menace" and "The Beginning of Rainbowland."
Rainbow Brite was the story of a girl named Wisp who came to a dark and dismal planet that had been conquered by the King of Shadows, who wanted to destroy color and happiness forever.
