What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this colorful, interactive site for girls features a new (but maybe not improved) version of Rainbow Brite. The site's content is safe and age-appropriate, but parents may not love Rainbow's transformation from a kid into a tween with a svelte physique and made-up face. She hangs with a less diverse crowd, too -- her new friends Moonglow and Tickled Pink share her very pale complexion.
Is it any good?
In the tradition of Strawberry Shortcake and Dora the Explorer, ‘80s cartoon icon Rainbow Brite has transformed from a kid into a fashionable tween. (Technically, she’s supposed to be 10 years old, but she looks mature for her age.) Rainbow Brite’s new website is super colorful (of course) and has about a dozen animations and activities. They’re well done, but kids will probably go through them pretty quickly. More content and added voice-overs -- it’s a bit text-heavy in spots for young readers -- would give the site some extra sparkle.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about Rainbow Brite's makeover and the recent trend of animated girls growing up. Do you like the new version of Rainbow Brite better than the old version? What are the differences between the two? Why do you think they changed her?
Kids may want to buy the Rainbow Brite dolls that are advertised on the site. Read our tips on helping your children deal with advertising aimed at kids.

Just Delete the Site ALREADY!
hate it. Kids dnt want to listen and read that stuff. The games get old and the reason I had that concern is because it says that the girl is ten, but they seem a bit...busty.

I don't like the website. but you people have to read the age reccomendation. ITS FOR 5 YEAR OLDS! its not reccomended for ages 8 and up unless those 8 year olds are immature. I will share what my 5 year old cousin. thinks of it later. But its best to ask a parent if this 5 year old can see it. Some parents would say no because they dont want the kids to think that those idiotic characters actually cause things in nature. Personally I think the website is too fruity you should go on the website in a bright room. wARNING THE GAMES MAY GET OLD LATER.
