A Cartoon Christmas 2

I've eaten all the cereal, but I've got a bowl full of neon-colored milk left, so I'm going to pour in some more cereal (and another heaping spoonful of sugar) to watch the next cartoon with. What's up next on the Magnavox? Ugh, Rainbow Brite, that's for girls. I'd get up and change the channel, but I'm too lazy and besides, we only have three channels and the other two haven't started showing the cartoons yet, one is still showing the daily farm report and the other one hasn't even signed on yet. Gonna be a long day. This is Rainbow Brite-Christmas (Buena Vista Records/Hallmark Cards 2111, Stereo, 1985). Ooh, this one is on a Disney label, though I doubt they really had much to do with it. I think that mention of Hallmark Cards is the bigger clue here as to who was in charge. This was a marketing push to sell, sell, sell, sell from back in the days when you could push product through a cartoon aimed at kids. But enough yelling at clouds, go download and enjoy this one. Murky & Lurky are my favorite here.

  1. Murky and Lurky singing "Christmas in the Pits" sounds like the Rainbow BriteTM version of Motorhead.

  2. I'll check that song out, but I fear for my A1C number.
