Rainbow Brite (http://www.rainbowbrite.com)
common sense media says
Aged-up preschool icon hosts otherwise age-appropriate site.
parents & educators say
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.
Educational value:
The site is mostly just for fun, but there's a puzzle and a coloring activity that lets kids get creative.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Hallmark owns Rainbow Brite, and there are lots of links to Hallmark sites framing the page. There's a product page that features Rainbow Brite dolls and mentions they're available at Target (and soon, at Toys R Us) but doesn't actually link to the store.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
Privacy & safety:
The site doesn't ask for any personal information -- it's strictly read-only.

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.

READ
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.
