The reason they dont attach their names is for marketability. When a book series is owned by a company or is very large, they usually have multiple authors writing for efficiency and for the sake of consistency just have them use a pseudonym that fits the book series, like ‘Erin Hunter’ for warrior cats.
NO WAY. How was I today-years-old when I found out Erin Hunter isn't a real person but a pseudonym. I spent my entire life till now thinking Warrior Cats written by one person....
1:20 I remember watching an interview with the authors of the Warrior Cats books back in elementary school where they said they used a pseudonym to help kids find the other books in the series. I couldn't tell you if it was the author's decision or the publisher's though.
I remember when I was kid I set a goal to read every single rainbow magic book. I never did get to read every single book but I had enough and read plenty of them to where my summers were spent reading the books before the new school year. These books bring back good memories and nostalgia.
1:22 i don’t know the exact name for this , but sometimes publishing companies will come up with an idea for a series that pertains to a popular market and hire a writer (or multiple) to write for the series. from what i’ve seen, most of the time these writers use pen names for this. i don’t know if this is exactly the case for these books but it’s possible! some examples of this are the gossip girl and pretty little liars books, some of the nancy drew books, and the animorphs series
@@bessieburnet9816 I remember reading Beast Quest! I only ever managed to read "Nixa the death-bringer" before my school pulled it from library shelves for being too violent for the younger kids.
I am Dutch and I read the Dutch translations of these books. The main characters in the Dutch version were called Sanne and Eva, and I was really happy about this bc my name is Eva and my cousin's name is Sanne lol
I do love how ACCURATE the king and queen are 😂 in the books they’re all ‘there is good in you’ to Jack despite the fact he has done the same steal items plot for 20 years (in our world) I wish we knew why adults can’t believe in fairies but I…think I’m just obsessed with looking for more depth in a book series that’s not aimed at me anymore 😅 I’ll always be nostalgic (when my OC meets the girls and their younger pals, because it’s technically me, I show what I’d do: Fangirl like CRAZY about my heroes). Also um your discord server link has expired 😅
Okay sorry you brought up Kipper and now I need to tell the story of how when he was born my younger brother was legally deaf and didn't surgically regain his hearing until he was around 5 or 6. When he finally gained the ability to hear and could begin speaking without the, what I am going to call "Deaf accent" he was suddenly... British?! This is because he had a ton of Kipper VHS tapes and almost over night being able to hear and hear them for the first time (Once the trauma of suddenly EVERYTHING making sound wore off) this was where he developed his speech skills.
I LOVE Kipper ^u^ I'm 20 and I still watch Kipper. I hope us late 90s- early 2000s kids will let our kids watch shows like Kipper and Little Bear, now that we're all adults. I was born in 2002 and I have a whole list of cute shows like Kipper, Oswald, Little Bear, Peep and the big wide world, ect... btw I'm glad Kipper helped your brother learn to speak
i feel like part of the reason they had a collective ghost writer is because in libraries and bookstores, because everything is sorted by author, the books would all be seperated on completely different shelves if they were under different names
NEW SGHOPEEE‼ Idk why I audibly gasped when Rachel said "not ashamed, more like embarrassed" 😭😭 This seems like such a cute movie that I'd enjoy, such lovely and cozy vibes 💕
Dear Hope, I'm so glad you've decided to talk about this underrated gem of an anime movie. When I was little I was a big fan of rainbow magic books, last ones I read were the jewel-themed fairies. I adored this movie, especially because I could finally hear voices of characters I just imagined in my head and I finally saw them in color instead of black and white images. I've watched this movie on a hungary childrens TV station called „minimax“ which has its own localised version here in Serbia and the dub was also serbian. Nostalgic greetings from Serbia and lots of love. : )
Oh my gosh I can't belive that Rainbow magic got a movie! I basically read every book I could get my hands on/find at my library, so it's so weird seeing the girls animated, but also amazing! If i knew about this movie when I was younger, I probably would've made it my entire personality lol
you’d struggle to find someone in the uk who hadn’t read these books,, but how did i have no clue there was an anime movie? :0 the art style is soo cute
By the way, The Answer Studio came into form after when the Walt Disney company decided to shut down Walt Disney Animation Japan in June 2004. The last projects that studio created were the animated short "the Cat that Looked at a King" which was attached to the 40th anniversary dvd of Mary Poppins, Mulan 2 and Pooh's Heffalump movie. However, only 35 out of the 101 employees became the driven force of the almost 20 year old studio!! As of today, they are on a roll with the amount of shows/ movies the studio has partnered up in animating!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Loving the Cure Black and Cure White vibes I'm getting from the two main girlies. Actually, the Rainbow Fairies meta series is actually, probably the closest thing us westerners will ever get to a Precure-esque, regularly released magical girl series, what with new uniquely colored/themed magic users being introduced for a while. A bummer we never got a full series adaptation, but SO glad we got a cute anime movie out of it T-T
Can't believe these fairies were never made into plastic dolls. No wonder I named one of my Barbie dolls after one of the fairies. And yeah, I am the Sapphire Fairy but my likeness wasn't used so that Daisy Meadows doesn't get sued LOL
WHAT?! NO WAY!! OMG, these books were my childhood!! I collected them like mad! I adored them, as typical of a pink loving girl. I've ALWAYS said how underrated Rainbow Magic was and how it deserved some form of adaptation. I didn't know it had a whole dang anime movie!! WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE??! It's done Rainbow Magic so much justice! I may cry... 😢
I loved Rainbow Magic as a kid! I never realized it took place in Britain until years later lol I have a hobby of collecting the books at thrift stores
I read a bunch of the books as a kid, and I thought they were okay, but it really bothered me that none of the fairies had their own personalities. Seriously, if you took one of those books and did a search-and-replace on the fairy’s name, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I’m glad this movie actually characterizes the rainbow fairies, and I wish we had more movies that centered around the other fairy sets and gave them personalities too.
Honestly if I were to write a Rainbow Magic fanfic, I’d give all the fairies personalities, besides it having more of a High school-to-college level writing compared to the original books.
@@tsifirakiehl9363 I’d probably write one set in the future, where Rachel and Kirsty are now adults and had grown distant from each other over time. There would probably also be a bigger threat than Jack Frost, and I’d replace the goblins with different creatures (probably little ice-breathing dragons instead) as I’ve read that goblins are a controversial creature. I’d also keep the British setting that Rachel and Kirsty live in (as in one fanfic I read they were written as American).
That animation and art style looks so similar to the Professor Layton games that I had to look it up. Wikipedia says that the animation studio was PA-Works with character design by Takuzo Nagano. So I wonder if any of them got their start at the Answer Studio.
My first head injury was followed by my Dad reading me the entire original rainbow series (red-violet) while I recovered. I think this series is permanently part of my brain chemistry because of that. This made me so happy.
I dont go here as far as this series or anything, but im in awe of how good the animation is in all the clips you've included. Alot of kids anime I've seen especially of the girly variety tends to get skimped on... but maybe between it being a movie and also a coproduction led to how good it is. There's so much movement amd room for the characters to be extremely emotive through that
I’m not gonna lie until I saw this, I had forgotten those books existed. And then I saw this and a wave of nostalgia hit me, reminding me that I had read them. I had no idea there was a movie, but I do now. ❤
when I was in elementary school, the teachers were concerned that I only read graphic novels and manga. I had to check out at least one "real book" alongside it. among Warrior Cats, Animorphs, and American Girl I would check out the Rainbow Magic books and not read them. those were the days 😊
How is it that I'm only now finding out about the existence of this movie? How is it that I've seen every movie/episode of Barbie/Bratz/W.I.T.C.H/Totally Spies but never this movie!!! I read these book religiously as a kid! I'm so glad that youtube randomly recommended your video, now if you excuse me I have a movie to watch ❤
It probably wasn't, but a lot of animes weren't/aren't, I was the only one one of my friends that knew about the Tamagochi anime. Which was a shame, it was a pretty decent kids anime
I read these in elementary. I love their eyes in the film (the no sclera whites, but still had the sparkle in their eyes.). It inspired my art style in the long run.
I watched this as a child! I remember absolutely nothing about it aside from that one shot during the credits (idk if it was opening or closing credits) where you see Kirsty and Racheal's shadows while they're running I have no idea why that is the only thing I can remember, but it comes to mind sometimes without warning
Omg you unlocked a memory i forgotten I remember loving the rainbow magic series!! I remember going to the library and trying to check out as much as I can
As someone who’s read the books as a kid, I’m amazed these haven’t been adapted into an animated series like mlp. Seriously there’s so many books they have a goldmine!
The reason a bunch of ghost writers use the same name for a book series is to seem more authentic to readers. If the series changed authors every book or so readers would catch on that it's a corporate book production.
This is definitely a deep cut! I never read these books but it’s insane that there’s a movie based on rainbow magic! The anime adaptation rabbit hole really does go deep… And now I known that it’s not just PPGZ and the American adaptations of animes like sailor moon and saint seiya that never got released😊
Oh my gosh! I have been WAITING for someone to review this movie! I was a fan of the books as a tween and caught a little of this movie on TV when I was 13 or 14. I didn't grow up watching anime AT ALL so it was very different to what I was used to! I definitely remember the bully scenes and thought the script was really bad 😂 The voice acting was a lot better than what I remembered though! They even got Keith Wickham in to voice Jack Frost and I recall recognising his voice. (I would liken him to Britain's equivalent of Tom Kenny - he's been in countless shows, from the Octonauts to the Koala Brothers!) As for that snowman song...I did not remember it being that terrible! 😵💫 I hadn't realised at the time just how good the animation was for a cheap, straight-to-DVD movie. My guess is we can thank the Japanese animators for this! I also really like how they adapted the character designs without completely changing them. Oh...and I just thought I should mention. I swear I read somewhere that Georgie Ripper sadly passed away in around 2008,😥likely from cancer, but now I can't find proof of this anywhere. It would make sense though, considering that the company had to hire "ghost illustrators" from then on to imitate her style.
I read so many of the Rainbow Magic books as a kid, and one day I searched up "Rainbow Magic Cartoon" in hopes that there might have been one, and there was! I never knew it was an anime, though! I only watched it once, but it might be a nice night after work movie to relax to.
If you haven’t found yet there’s a bunch of rainbow magic books based around the real British royal family 😂 it was something I didn’t expect until I found out the books were from the UK
Yep. The late Queen actually did make an appearance in Georgie the Royal Prince Fairy. Weird that she wore what she’d wear at evening events (tiara and evening dress) out in the garden under the sun, instead of the hat and coat one would expect, but I doubt the illustrator wanted to pay attention to detail. Lots of the books were dedicated to royal events at the time such as royal weddings, the births of royal babies, and the Diamond jubilee. Surprised they didn’t make any books related to the Platinum Jubilee. But there is one related to the Coronation.
Omg, I love the rainbow magic series, and I'm hoping to get all the books, but yes, I did heard of the movie before, but I love it!! Along with the franchise. I wish that a new British Rainbow Magic series could be created. Animated, of course, with a cute anime art style. Also, you should check out for your video after the magical girl one, the series Hello Kitty: Super Style! It's a series where Kitty transforms into 7 forms based on jobs to help her friends. The forms are Artist Kitty, Construction Kitty, Detective Kitty, Chef Kitty, Explorer Kitty, Athlete Kitty and Popstar Kitty. Athlete Kitty appeared in On a roll, (the episode where she she learns her friend how to roller skate) A good sport (Where she backs up for her friend who's to embarrassed to face her competitor) Game night (where she delivers invitations to a game night that her friend has forgotten) and Daredevil Rio (Where she helps a friend find his conference) Explorer Kitty Appeared in Treasure hunters (Where she, her mascot Haroshee, Batz Maru and a smart wheelchair character named Pi (oc a smart character has to be named after a smart thing) go treasure hunting) Lights out Zing (Where she helps her friend not to be afraid of the dark) The charmed bracelet (Where she tries to break a curse), Too many Frido's (Where she cleans up her friends clones before they wreak an event), King Badtz rules (Where she returns an ancient crown) and the bowterfly effect (Where she gets Butterflies back home) Artist Kitty appeared in Friendship day (where she teaches one of her friends to make a gift for her roommate), and Pinky's suprise, (Which is your regular keeping secrets episode) Construction Kitty appeared in A bridge for beavers (or, mistakingly as "The Broken Bridge here on Tiny Pop, even though they didn't change the title) (in which Kitty tries to let 3 beaver siblings agree) and Green with envy (Where she tries to stop a plant destroying Cherry Town (the place they live)) Detective Kitty appeared in Disappearing act, (where they try to find Keropii), The legend of Sweet Tooth (Where they investigate a marshmallow eater) Tiny Frido, big world (Where tries to find out what made her friend tiny) and Pi's thinking cap (Where she finds Pi's thinking cap.) Popstar Kitty appeared in Sing out loud (where they try to get to a singing contest after being turned small) Blue Pinky (Where she tries to cheer up her friend), and Hicc-up-staged (Where she tries to cure hiccups) And Chef Kitty appeared in Berry long wait (where she makes a berry smoothie for her friend when the smoothie truck takes a break), Front page Frido (where she helps a friend beat a world record) and The secret ingredient (Where she helps a chef get his secret ingredient). And actually, the characters Pinky and Rio from this series actually originated from a Japanese live action Hello Kitty series!
Holy god I can’t believe I didn’t know this existed. (I’m Canadian so I guess that’s why…) I was obsessed with these books to an absurd degree in my early elementary years and they got me into reading/writing/drawing. I would have had this on loop. (I definitely would have been thrown off by every single change/the new story tho 😂)
Rachel is me fr. I always got like, 10 different fairy books from the library because they're so short. Recently I re-read one and I found I 'grew out of them', a big shame... Also, it was so hard trying to read all of the books from the same series... My irl name was on one of the books but spelled different and for privacy I can't say which. As for my online name, I'm the rainforest fairy, which I was content with, it was a good book. I was less happy about my name being on a book and more sad that it wasn't on a book I liked (There's literally an Arctic Fox fairy but nooo, my name doesn't start with A...) Omg, Kipper and Oswald being related in some way is the best thing ever. The jazziest shows I know.
THIS VIDEO WAS MADE FOR MEEEE OMGGGG!!! i lived and breathed rainbow magic books as a kid and i found the anime by complete chance back when i was still new to the internet and was obsessed with it!! i rewatched it last year and cried my eyes out from how warm and nostalgic it made me feel. every time i listen to the songs (which is often now) i end up with a full feeling in my chest and tears in my eyes, i love them so much. except jack frost's song lmao. this franchise means so much to me also when i saw this video in my recommended i could not shut up omg i was making the stupidest noises of joy!! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ELSE EVER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ANIME EXISTS, I'M SO HAPPY THIS VIDEO EXISTS AAAHHH
My fellow fairy pal, I’m literally working on a fanfic for this series RIGHT NOW 🤣 your timing is perfect ❤ Grace the glitter fairy is the CLOSEST I’ll ever get to my name in this series 😂 (my actual name is an Irish one and Grace is my name in English)
@@Chasm_Craftthe most i can tell you is King Oberon is tired of Jack’s antics and wants to increase security in fairyland as well as putting him (and his sister) on trial for all the crimes committed the last 20 years (and in our world’s case)
I saw it, I absolutely loved it. My entire childhood was Rainbow Magic. In fact, Lizzie the Sweet Treats fairy influenced so much, I developed Type 1 Diabetes later in life! :D
1:21 Usually when you're dealing with ghost writers, there's a main writer who came up with a varying amount of the plot/premise. From Jame Patterson's very hands off name recognition flood of books, to Applegate having ghosts writers handle the equivalent of off one episodes in the Animorphs series. However given there is no person actually named Daisy Meadows, it was likely done simply to keep all the books in one place in the library. Library systems have only really figured out that multi author franchises exist in the past like five years due to scholastic not using ghost writers but rather big names in kidlit for series like 39 Clues. Every ghost writing contract will be different about how much recognition the ghost writer gets. Maybe their name is inside the front matter of the book, maybe they're under an NDA to not speak about it. As these would be work for hire contracts, the ghostwriters don't own copyright over their work- the same way tv writers don't own the rights to the episodes they worked on.
I used to read these books a lot as a kid - never read them all though - but it was these that introduced me to Jack Frost originally. It was when Rise of the Guardians came out that I became a lot more interested in the legend/myth behind the name (whilst also crushing hard on the RotG version because I was 15 lol) and I thought it was very unique how DreamWorks made him a good guy for once
I saw this movie on the TV once by pure coincidence when I was a kid, and I fell in love with it. Later on I found two books of the series in my school's library, and I was overjoyed. I genuinely thought I was the only one who knew about this adorable movie, glad to see this isn't the case anymore!
This is the very first video I've ever seen from you. I literally just Open RUclips and you were my recommended and you had me at "anime you've never seen" I love obscure animes.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the animation and quality put into the movie. It's, really endearing. I saw the books around in my elementary school library as a kid but I was never really interested in reading them. Too girly for me. But now that I'm older I can appreciate it more.
I WAS OBSESSED WITH THE MOVIE WHEN I WAS A KID!!! i had to find ways to watch the full movie because there were only 4 snippets on youtube back then😩 i knew as a kid that they went off with the animation
No way i didnt realise how big of a thing rainbow fairies are, i was a little completionist and tried collecting them all, but it was way too hard, even though i bought every one i found.
Rainbow Magic was the book series that got me into reading. I literally read every Rainbow Magic book that was at my elementary school library, especially the special edition ones with 3 stories in one. I think I officially stopped reading them around 4th or 5th grade, but decided to read one of the rainbow fairy books again in 6th grade. It’s been about 4 years since then, but damn I’m surprised there’s a movie
I just went to the wiki of the fairies, and OMG. There’s a fairy named Amy, she’s an amethyst fairy. Well, guess what! My first MLP oc (persona) was called Amy. I changed her name later though because it didn’t entirely fit, but point is the name I changed it to is Amethystshade. So, Amy -> Amethyst. Coincidence??? I don’t think so.
Maybe its just me but I feel like this animation would have benefited with an actual new main villain that would play onto the Rachel’s insecurities, and maybe would have been the one to release Jack Frost rather than the king and queen just being hit with the stupid beam
Wait what- The fact that I saw these earlier at a market and had the most intense nostalgia now this? Is this is a sign to reread them?? They were legit the reason I remember the rainbow in order. I was like “Red is for Ruby, orange is for Amber, yellow is for Saffron”, etc.😭
I didn't read the book or watched the movie, but i got excited when you mentioned HiT Entertainment, i am a huge fan of that company (i wish they didn't go defunct) one of my favorite shows from them is Fireman Sam!
@@CorgiponSadly, I agree with you, As an American, I've always watched shows from other countries when I was little, whether they were from, Mexico, The UK or Japan (or even Finland with the Angry Birds show) I still acknowledge the countries where they came from, I honestly would usually always prefer the original if it's from the UK (unless I grew up watching the American Dub like Bob the builder)
@@SlapstickGenius23 I’m American and even I agree that British shows becoming Americanized thanks to American companies being granted creative control isn’t good at all. It removes the original quintessential charm they had.
THERES A MOVIE?! this is AWESOME! i loved these books as a kid, they were in my classroom in elementary school. i used to love reading about kirsty and rachel’s friendship and the fairies’ super cute outfits. honestly the story still holds up pretty well
This is basically.. Mahou Tsukai but remove Mofurun, make it come out in the early 2000s and all the Precure magic and just continue the Ha-Chan fairy plot...
I read the Rainbow Fairies, and the Princess Fairies in 3rd grade(2018-2019) (I also have Gwen the Beauty and The Beast Fairy, and 2 special edition books: Carmen the Cheerleader Fairy, and Evelyn the Mermicorn Fairy) Safe to say I liked this series A LOT as a kid.And guess what... I still have ALL of those books!
My name is Amber, so my mother got be the orange fairy book when I was a kid, Fitting choice on her part, I turned out to be a pun-loving human. The series got me spot on.
![Lets redesign Marinette!! [this took 3 years to make]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cgXLx4jklZU/mqdefault.jpg)
The animation is so ✨SMOOTH✨like who gave it the right to be so smooth
I know right?
I perhaps agree with you on that.
it looks so good? like its a modern anime??wtf??

Okay sorry you brought up Kipper and now I need to tell the story of how when he was born my younger brother was legally deaf and didn't surgically regain his hearing until he was around 5 or 6. When he finally gained the ability to hear and could begin speaking without the, what I am going to call "Deaf accent" he was suddenly... British?! This is because he had a ton of Kipper VHS tapes and almost over night being able to hear and hear them for the first time (Once the trauma of suddenly EVERYTHING making sound wore off) this was where he developed his speech skills.
Omg do not apologize that’s sweet that Kipper helped your brother find his voice 🥺🥺🥺
Aw that is so sweet 😊 Kipper was one of my favourites too. I used to copy kipper’s moves in the intro.
Reminds me of the Peppa Pig effect 😂
I LOVE Kipper ^u^ I'm 20 and I still watch Kipper. I hope us late 90s- early 2000s kids will let our kids watch shows like Kipper and Little Bear, now that we're all adults.

The last projects that studio created were the animated short "the Cat that Looked at a King" which was attached to the 40th anniversary dvd of Mary Poppins, Mulan 2 and Pooh's Heffalump movie. However, only 35 out of the 101 employees became the driven force of the almost 20 year old studio!! As of today, they are on a roll with the amount of shows/ movies the studio has partnered up in animating!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Disney is so freaking greedy. >_> Glad the Answer Studio got to make this cute movie tho
Loving the Cure Black and Cure White vibes I'm getting from the two main girlies. Actually, the Rainbow Fairies meta series is actually, probably the closest thing us westerners will ever get to a Precure-esque, regularly released magical girl series, what with new uniquely colored/themed magic users being introduced for a while. A bummer we never got a full series adaptation, but SO glad we got a cute anime movie out of it T-T
Can't believe these fairies were never made into plastic dolls. No wonder I named one of my Barbie dolls after one of the fairies.
And yeah, I am the Sapphire Fairy but my likeness wasn't used so that Daisy Meadows doesn't get sued LOL
WHAT?! NO WAY!! OMG, these books were my childhood!! I collected them like mad! I adored them, as typical of a pink loving girl. I've ALWAYS said how underrated Rainbow Magic was and how it deserved some form of adaptation. I didn't know it had a whole dang anime movie!! WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE??! It's done Rainbow Magic so much justice! I may cry... 😢
I loved Rainbow Magic as a kid! I never realized it took place in Britain until years later lol
I have a hobby of collecting the books at thrift stores
I remember reading a fanfic where they’re somehow written as American lol
Also, did you know they made books based on viral things on the Internet? I remember they had a Slime Fairy and a Fidget Toy Fairy.
I read a bunch of the books as a kid, and I thought they were okay, but it really bothered me that none of the fairies had their own personalities. Seriously, if you took one of those books and did a search-and-replace on the fairy’s name, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I’m glad this movie actually characterizes the rainbow fairies, and I wish we had more movies that centered around the other fairy sets and gave them personalities too.
Honestly if I were to write a Rainbow Magic fanfic, I’d give all the fairies personalities, besides it having more of a High school-to-college level writing compared to the original books.
@@Corgipon If you ever do write one, please drop the link, because I definitely want to read it.
@@Corgiponyeah I’m actually trying my best to give the fairies i create or include more personalities
@@tsifirakiehl9363 I’d probably write one set in the future, where Rachel and Kirsty are now adults and had grown distant from each other over time. There would probably also be a bigger threat than Jack Frost, and I’d replace the goblins with different creatures (probably little ice-breathing dragons instead) as I’ve read that goblins are a controversial creature.
I’d also keep the British setting that Rachel and Kirsty live in (as in one fanfic I read they were written as American).
@@Corgipon Nice!
That animation and art style looks so similar to the Professor Layton games that I had to look it up. Wikipedia says that the animation studio was PA-Works with character design by Takuzo Nagano. So I wonder if any of them got their start at the Answer Studio.
My first head injury was followed by my Dad reading me the entire original rainbow series (red-violet) while I recovered. I think this series is permanently part of my brain chemistry because of that. This made me so happy.
I dont go here as far as this series or anything, but im in awe of how good the animation is in all the clips you've included. Alot of kids anime I've seen especially of the girly variety tends to get skimped on... but maybe between it being a movie and also a coproduction led to how good it is. There's so much movement amd room for the characters to be extremely emotive through that
I’m not gonna lie until I saw this, I had forgotten those books existed. And then I saw this and a wave of nostalgia hit me, reminding me that I had read them. I had no idea there was a movie, but I do now. ❤
when I was in elementary school, the teachers were concerned that I only read graphic novels and manga. I had to check out at least one "real book" alongside it. among Warrior Cats, Animorphs, and American Girl I would check out the Rainbow Magic books and not read them. those were the days 😊
I LOVE this movie!! I really appreciated how they gave Kirsty and Rachel their own personalities and character arcs. Something I didn’t expect! ❤
How is it that I'm only now finding out about the existence of this movie? How is it that I've seen every movie/episode of Barbie/Bratz/W.I.T.C.H/Totally Spies but never this movie!!! I read these book religiously as a kid! I'm so glad that youtube randomly recommended your video, now if you excuse me I have a movie to watch ❤
Mmm I get the sense it wasn’t advertised well
It probably wasn't, but a lot of animes weren't/aren't, I was the only one one of my friends that knew about the Tamagochi anime. Which was a shame, it was a pretty decent kids anime
As someone who grew up with rainbow magic I know wanna watch this movie cuz of u so thanks
I read these in elementary. I love their eyes in the film (the no sclera whites, but still had the sparkle in their eyes.). It inspired my art style in the long run.
I watched this as a child! I remember absolutely nothing about it aside from that one shot during the credits (idk if it was opening or closing credits) where you see Kirsty and Racheal's shadows while they're running
I have no idea why that is the only thing I can remember, but it comes to mind sometimes without warning
Omg you unlocked a memory i forgotten I remember loving the rainbow magic series!! I remember going to the library and trying to check out as much as I can
I am an adult. I never read Rainbow Magic. I NEED TO WATCH THIS!!! THE ANIMATION IS SMOOTHER THAN A BABY'S BOTTOM!!! 💖💖💖
As someone who’s read the books as a kid, I’m amazed these haven’t been adapted into an animated series like mlp. Seriously there’s so many books they have a goldmine!
I was the child saddened by the fact no fairy shared a name with me :')
Obscure names club 🫡
Here’s to never finding our name on anything
Aw don’t worry I can assure you you can create your own fairy whenever you want (I took TOO long to figure this out 😂)
The reason a bunch of ghost writers use the same name for a book series is to seem more authentic to readers. If the series changed authors every book or so readers would catch on that it's a corporate book production.
SHSHJSJDJD I was blindsided by the music choice for Jack Frost's musical number
This is definitely a deep cut! I never read these books but it’s insane that there’s a movie based on rainbow magic!
The anime adaptation rabbit hole really does go deep… And now I known that it’s not just PPGZ and the American adaptations of animes like sailor moon and saint seiya that never got released😊
oh my gosh, I remember watching this movie when I was little. I loved it 🌈✨
One video in and already obsessed with your channel 🥹 such a good review and the vibe is SO COZY AND FUN!!!!! Thank you for creating
WOW omg I LOVE your videos!!! Thank you so much!! 💕💕
@@sghopeomg no way!!! Thanks so much ahhhh 🥹 can’t wait to see more from you!!
So this was like those Candy Bars & Soda cans with your name on it, except with magical girls? Neat.
Oh my gosh! I have been WAITING for someone to review this movie! I was a fan of the books as a tween and caught a little of this movie on TV when I was 13 or 14. I didn't grow up watching anime AT ALL so it was very different to what I was used to! I definitely remember the bully scenes and thought the script was really bad 😂
The voice acting was a lot better than what I remembered though! They even got Keith Wickham in to voice Jack Frost and I recall recognising his voice. (I would liken him to Britain's equivalent of Tom Kenny - he's been in countless shows, from the Octonauts to the Koala Brothers!) As for that snowman song...I did not remember it being that terrible! 😵💫
I hadn't realised at the time just how good the animation was for a cheap, straight-to-DVD movie. My guess is we can thank the Japanese animators for this! I also really like how they adapted the character designs without completely changing them.
Oh...and I just thought I should mention. I swear I read somewhere that Georgie Ripper sadly passed away in around 2008,😥likely from cancer, but now I can't find proof of this anywhere. It would make sense though, considering that the company had to hire "ghost illustrators" from then on to imitate her style.
We all want a friend and want to be a friend like Kirsty! But sadly people like her are hard to come by/are rare :/
As a kid who grew up in the UK and had *so* many of these books, it’s absolutely criminal I didn’t know this existed until now. Thankyou!
Same!
I read so many of the Rainbow Magic books as a kid, and one day I searched up "Rainbow Magic Cartoon" in hopes that there might have been one, and there was! I never knew it was an anime, though! I only watched it once, but it might be a nice night after work movie to relax to.
If you haven’t found yet there’s a bunch of rainbow magic books based around the real British royal family 😂 it was something I didn’t expect until I found out the books were from the UK
Yep. The late Queen actually did make an appearance in Georgie the Royal Prince Fairy. Weird that she wore what she’d wear at evening events (tiara and evening dress) out in the garden under the sun, instead of the hat and coat one would expect, but I doubt the illustrator wanted to pay attention to detail. Lots of the books were dedicated to royal events at the time such as royal weddings, the births of royal babies, and the Diamond jubilee.
Surprised they didn’t make any books related to the Platinum Jubilee. But there is one related to the Coronation.
I never knew this existed!! How wholesome and I love how the style translates to anime!
I love the animation/art style Its so different from most things in japan or america. thank you for sharing💜🌺
THE VILLAIN SONG LMAO
"I DON'T WANNA SEE NO PEOPLE 😈"
I WANT ICE 😈
@@etherealluvvs
GIVE ME SNOWBALLS BLOCK THAT SUN 😈
10:02 ok but for being a song about ice why is it kinda fire, also it reminds me of a fake song called hedgehog stew
Omg, I love the rainbow magic series, and I'm hoping to get all the books, but yes, I did heard of the movie before, but I love it!! Along with the franchise. I wish that a new British Rainbow Magic series could be created. Animated, of course, with a cute anime art style. Also, you should check out for your video after the magical girl one, the series Hello Kitty: Super Style! It's a series where Kitty transforms into 7 forms based on jobs to help her friends. The forms are Artist Kitty, Construction Kitty, Detective Kitty, Chef Kitty, Explorer Kitty, Athlete Kitty and Popstar Kitty.
Athlete Kitty appeared in On a roll, (the episode where she she learns her friend how to roller skate) A good sport (Where she backs up for her friend who's to embarrassed to face her competitor) Game night (where she delivers invitations to a game night that her friend has forgotten) and Daredevil Rio (Where she helps a friend find his conference)
Explorer Kitty Appeared in Treasure hunters (Where she, her mascot Haroshee, Batz Maru and a smart wheelchair character named Pi (oc a smart character has to be named after a smart thing) go treasure hunting) Lights out Zing (Where she helps her friend not to be afraid of the dark) The charmed bracelet (Where she tries to break a curse), Too many Frido's (Where she cleans up her friends clones before they wreak an event), King Badtz rules (Where she returns an ancient crown) and the bowterfly effect (Where she gets Butterflies back home)
Artist Kitty appeared in Friendship day (where she teaches one of her friends to make a gift for her roommate), and Pinky's suprise, (Which is your regular keeping secrets episode)
Construction Kitty appeared in A bridge for beavers (or, mistakingly as "The Broken Bridge here on Tiny Pop, even though they didn't change the title) (in which Kitty tries to let 3 beaver siblings agree) and Green with envy (Where she tries to stop a plant destroying Cherry Town (the place they live))
Detective Kitty appeared in Disappearing act, (where they try to find Keropii), The legend of Sweet Tooth (Where they investigate a marshmallow eater) Tiny Frido, big world (Where tries to find out what made her friend tiny) and Pi's thinking cap (Where she finds Pi's thinking cap.)
Popstar Kitty appeared in Sing out loud (where they try to get to a singing contest after being turned small) Blue Pinky (Where she tries to cheer up her friend), and Hicc-up-staged (Where she tries to cure hiccups)
And Chef Kitty appeared in Berry long wait (where she makes a berry smoothie for her friend when the smoothie truck takes a break), Front page Frido (where she helps a friend beat a world record) and The secret ingredient (Where she helps a chef get his secret ingredient). And actually, the characters Pinky and Rio from this series actually originated from a Japanese live action Hello Kitty series!
Well I must warn you it’s been going for 20 years now but good luck
Holy god I can’t believe I didn’t know this existed. (I’m Canadian so I guess that’s why…) I was obsessed with these books to an absurd degree in my early elementary years and they got me into reading/writing/drawing. I would have had this on loop. (I definitely would have been thrown off by every single change/the new story tho 😂)
Rachel is me fr.
I always got like, 10 different fairy books from the library because they're so short. Recently I re-read one and I found I 'grew out of them', a big shame... Also, it was so hard trying to read all of the books from the same series...
My irl name was on one of the books but spelled different and for privacy I can't say which. As for my online name, I'm the rainforest fairy, which I was content with, it was a good book.
I was less happy about my name being on a book and more sad that it wasn't on a book I liked (There's literally an Arctic Fox fairy but nooo, my name doesn't start with A...)
Omg, Kipper and Oswald being related in some way is the best thing ever. The jazziest shows I know.
THIS VIDEO WAS MADE FOR MEEEE OMGGGG!!! i lived and breathed rainbow magic books as a kid and i found the anime by complete chance back when i was still new to the internet and was obsessed with it!! i rewatched it last year and cried my eyes out from how warm and nostalgic it made me feel. every time i listen to the songs (which is often now) i end up with a full feeling in my chest and tears in my eyes, i love them so much. except jack frost's song lmao. this franchise means so much to me
also when i saw this video in my recommended i could not shut up omg i was making the stupidest noises of joy!! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ELSE EVER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ANIME EXISTS, I'M SO HAPPY THIS VIDEO EXISTS AAAHHH
My fellow fairy pal, I’m literally working on a fanfic for this series RIGHT NOW 🤣 your timing is perfect ❤
Grace the glitter fairy is the CLOSEST I’ll ever get to my name in this series 😂 (my actual name is an Irish one and Grace is my name in English)
please drop a link here when you are done! i would love to read it
@@chaoticcat2564youtube might not let me do a link. It’s called Rainbow magic: the winds of change 😊
@@Chasm_Craftthe most i can tell you is King Oberon is tired of Jack’s antics and wants to increase security in fairyland as well as putting him (and his sister) on trial for all the crimes committed the last 20 years (and in our world’s case)
I got a book named after me, but not at the same time….it’s complicated. Tiana the Toy Fairy
@@chaoticcat2564unfortunately RUclips doesn’t allow links 😅 all i can do is share the story title
I saw it, I absolutely loved it. My entire childhood was Rainbow Magic.
In fact, Lizzie the Sweet Treats fairy influenced so much, I developed Type 1 Diabetes later in life! :D
1:21 Usually when you're dealing with ghost writers, there's a main writer who came up with a varying amount of the plot/premise. From Jame Patterson's very hands off name recognition flood of books, to Applegate having ghosts writers handle the equivalent of off one episodes in the Animorphs series. However given there is no person actually named Daisy Meadows, it was likely done simply to keep all the books in one place in the library. Library systems have only really figured out that multi author franchises exist in the past like five years due to scholastic not using ghost writers but rather big names in kidlit for series like 39 Clues. Every ghost writing contract will be different about how much recognition the ghost writer gets. Maybe their name is inside the front matter of the book, maybe they're under an NDA to not speak about it. As these would be work for hire contracts, the ghostwriters don't own copyright over their work- the same way tv writers don't own the rights to the episodes they worked on.
Wait… Rachel is the blonde one!?!?
I didn't know this book series had an anime movie! I love reading the books!
2:48 "tumblr sexyman he is no more." Only if youre a coward, out of my way gayboy I'm about to get it.
I used to read these books a lot as a kid - never read them all though - but it was these that introduced me to Jack Frost originally. It was when Rise of the Guardians came out that I became a lot more interested in the legend/myth behind the name (whilst also crushing hard on the RotG version because I was 15 lol) and I thought it was very unique how DreamWorks made him a good guy for once
OMG I love this anime movie so much!! I really wish we gotten either a series based on the books or even more movies as I love the anime canon!
im so glad i found this in my recommended im going to cry i haven't read these books in YEARS but they were _everything_ to me
I saw this movie on the TV once by pure coincidence when I was a kid, and I fell in love with it. Later on I found two books of the series in my school's library, and I was overjoyed.
I genuinely thought I was the only one who knew about this adorable movie, glad to see this isn't the case anymore!
This is the very first video I've ever seen from you. I literally just Open RUclips and you were my recommended and you had me at "anime you've never seen"
I love obscure animes.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the animation and quality put into the movie. It's, really endearing. I saw the books around in my elementary school library as a kid but I was never really interested in reading them. Too girly for me. But now that I'm older I can appreciate it more.
Bro I liked the book ever since I was a kid 😊 and this animation it cool!!❤
I WAS OBSESSED WITH THE MOVIE WHEN I WAS A KID!!! i had to find ways to watch the full movie because there were only 4 snippets on youtube back then😩 i knew as a kid that they went off with the animation
This part killed me 3:00
The Squidward meme loll❤
i remember i would cry that the fairy with my name was ugly
I watched this movie SO many times when I was younger I'm so happy you've talked about it :]
No way i didnt realise how big of a thing rainbow fairies are, i was a little completionist and tried collecting them all, but it was way too hard, even though i bought every one i found.
Angelina Ballerina was my childhood
Rainbow Magic was the book series that got me into reading. I literally read every Rainbow Magic book that was at my elementary school library, especially the special edition ones with 3 stories in one. I think I officially stopped reading them around 4th or 5th grade, but decided to read one of the rainbow fairy books again in 6th grade. It’s been about 4 years since then, but damn I’m surprised there’s a movie
awwww , their main girls ' voices are so cute !! i wish this existed when i read the books as a kid 😭😭
the animation is so good and cute 😭😭
MY CHILDHOOD, HAS BEEN VALIDATED. I LOVED these books as a kid and was sad when I read the only ones available in my elementary library.
I just went to the wiki of the fairies, and OMG.
There’s a fairy named Amy, she’s an amethyst fairy.
Well, guess what!
My first MLP oc (persona) was called Amy. I changed her name later though because it didn’t entirely fit, but point is the name I changed it to is Amethystshade. So, Amy -> Amethyst.
Coincidence??? I don’t think so.
Curse me for having a boy name and never getting that joy for seeing my name on one of these books. But I still ate them up
I don wAnnA sEE nO PeOpLe HeRe
As someone who grew up with those books, I never knew this existed! I have to watch it now for the nostalgia!
Maybe its just me but I feel like this animation would have benefited with an actual new main villain that would play onto the Rachel’s insecurities, and maybe would have been the one to release Jack Frost rather than the king and queen just being hit with the stupid beam
Wait what-
The fact that I saw these earlier at a market and had the most intense nostalgia now this? Is this is a sign to reread them??
They were legit the reason I remember the rainbow in order. I was like “Red is for Ruby, orange is for Amber, yellow is for Saffron”, etc.😭
I regularly watched RUclips videos on 2x speed so when... Y'all.... Just play it fast, plesde. 10:02 i COMPLETELY lost my shit 💀💀
I didn't read the book or watched the movie, but i got excited when you mentioned HiT Entertainment, i am a huge fan of that company (i wish they didn't go defunct) one of my favorite shows from them is Fireman Sam!
Same; it’s too bad a lot of amazing British series are owned by Americans now (and many of them Americanized, especially Thomas).
@@Corgipon it’s sadly inevitable that many of the best British franchises have become americanised to the hilt.
@@CorgiponSadly, I agree with you, As an American, I've always watched shows from other countries when I was little, whether they were from, Mexico, The UK or Japan (or even Finland with the Angry Birds show) I still acknowledge the countries where they came from, I honestly would usually always prefer the original if it's from the UK (unless I grew up watching the American Dub like Bob the builder)
I remember playing Angelina Ballerina and Rainbow Magic games on their website!
@@SlapstickGenius23 I’m American and even I agree that British shows becoming Americanized thanks to American companies being granted creative control isn’t good at all. It removes the original quintessential charm they had.
5:00 I'm betting he's thinking "why didn't I try that sooner?"
THERES A MOVIE?! this is AWESOME! i loved these books as a kid, they were in my classroom in elementary school. i used to love reading about kirsty and rachel’s friendship and the fairies’ super cute outfits. honestly the story still holds up pretty well
THERES AN ANIME NOW MAN?!
I GREW U ON THESE BOOKS
i ATE THESE UP as a kid .... probably read and reread the entire shelf of them in the kids section at my local library
This is basically.. Mahou Tsukai but remove Mofurun, make it come out in the early 2000s and all the Precure magic and just continue the Ha-Chan fairy plot...
I read the Rainbow Fairies, and the Princess Fairies in 3rd grade(2018-2019) (I also have Gwen the Beauty and The Beast Fairy, and 2 special edition books: Carmen the Cheerleader Fairy, and Evelyn the Mermicorn Fairy) Safe to say I liked this series A LOT as a kid.And guess what... I still have ALL of those books!
My favorite Rainbow Magic book were the twin fairies
I was fr hoping we’d get a be prepared LMAOOOO💀💀💀
Edit: subscribed
My name is Amber, so my mother got be the orange fairy book when I was a kid, Fitting choice on her part, I turned out to be a pun-loving human. The series got me spot on.
