DC did Rainbow Brite?! Okay, that was news to me.
Yup. It is her first appearance in comics also. Dynamite comics is making them now.

Also maybe how Warners ended up putting out the animated feature…?

Wait--(checks IMDb)

...Huh, they did. I remember it coming out as one of "Clubhouse Pictures" indie-distribution attempt to put Care Bears-style IP-property matinees in theaters, like "GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords", along with a few weirdo indies like "American Rabbit" and the Will Vinton "Adventures of Mark Twain".
Apparently there was some backstage drama I didn't know about?

Clubhouse pictures is paramount who owns the gobots movie. Yes, wb released the rainbow brite film. Ironic as gobots was a hanna barbera cartoon. WB didn't release the pound puppies film "based" on the hanna barbera cartoon also and licensed out hey there it's yogi bear to Parmount for the 1986 theater rerelease.





Then there's smurfs and the magic flute. Highest grossing non disney animated film till care bears movie beat it. Not made by hb but dub of a older 70s film.

Macross do you remember love ????
Galaxy express the movie ????
Galaxy Express 999 got a modest New World dub in '83--ie., Roger Corman, in the same import package that gave us "Warriors of the Wind"--and it's...not too bad, compared to its more infamous cousin.

But the series-sampler Macross: DYRL...not sure if that ever played theaters on its first run, but it's now notoriously a "hostage" of the feud between the Robotech producers and the original Japanese Macross owners, and fans joke that we may probably never see a legitimate domestic version in our lifetime.
Still classic enough to be worth seeking out, in the subterranean tunnels where we OG anime fans used to have to dig for our underground gold.

The dub of Galaxy Express 999 was released in 1981.

Things like Donald And The Wheel are the ones I’d be most interested in seeing, as they were basically "graphic novel" versions of produced shorts, sometimes with alternate content that followed original story sketches and boards more than the eventual cartoons did.
