The animation is so ✨SMOOTH✨like who gave it the right to be so smooth

as a former rainbow magic girlie i am SAT

I remember when I was a kid in elementary school when we were going to the library I always took the fairy books 😊❤ Such nostalgia 💗

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.

Jack Frost looks like what would happen if you put Hades in the freezer

"tumblr sexyman he is no more" had me cackling ahaha

I’m still surprised they never did a show based on the books I admit this movie makes me wish the books had human antagonists to spice things up 😅

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 was legit just reading one of the books before i got this notification wHAT

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

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.

I never knew this series had an anime, i would have loved it when i was deep in the trenches when reading the books 💗

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

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.

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

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

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 💕

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 😅

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

I'm so happy this movie exists, it's super cute and super nostalgic. So glad you covered it! Also didn't realize it was British haha

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. : )

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

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.

As someone who’s never read the books as a kid, this was such a sweet and adorable movie, I really enjoyed this review 😊

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

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... 😢

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!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I LOVE this movie!! I really appreciated how they gave Kirsty and Rachel their own personalities and character arcs. Something I didn’t expect! ❤

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.

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. ❤

SHSHJSJDJD I was blindsided by the music choice for Jack Frost's musical number

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!

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 😊

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.

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 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.

As someone who grew up with rainbow magic I know wanna watch this movie cuz of u so thanks

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!

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 ❤

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!!! 💖💖💖

I was the child saddened by the fact no fairy shared a name with me :')

THE VILLAIN SONG LMAO "I DON'T WANNA SEE NO PEOPLE 😈"

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 :/

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 🌈✨

I never knew this existed!! How wholesome and I love how the style translates to anime!

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

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

i'm so goddamn surprised although i am not one of the rainbow magic regular fans (I'm a 14 year old boy..) I STILL HAVE THOSE BOOKS IN MY CLOSET LIBRARY RIGHT *NOW*. holy if i found this out earlier i would've had a phase of that for like 4 months and every other kid my age would judge me ☺️

I love the animation/art style Its so different from most things in japan or america. thank you for sharing💜🌺

awwww , their main girls ' voices are so cute !! i wish this existed when i read the books as a kid 😭😭

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.

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 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.

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 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

So this was like those Candy Bars & Soda cans with your name on it, except with magical girls? Neat.

The voice acting in this movie is next level omg❤❤❤ the absolute best movie

This is the very first video I've ever seen from you. I literally just Open KZfaq and you were my recommended and you had me at "anime you've never seen" I love obscure animes.

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)

i ATE THESE UP as a kid .... probably read and reread the entire shelf of them in the kids section at my local library

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.

These books were a fully lost memory until the moment I laid my eyes on the thumbnail for this video. Thank you for bringing it back to me. I am a 22 year old man now, but as a wee lass these girls were everything to me. I had all the rainbow fairies and the one matching my dead name and I love them all

I watched this movie SO many times when I was younger I'm so happy you've talked about it :]

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!

I've never seen the anime before but hearing the voices of the characters instantly just sent me back to being little and watching tv, when I was younger every english cartoon was voiced by people with that exact accent

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

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!

As someone who grew up with those books, I never knew this existed! I have to watch it now for the nostalgia!

I remember these Rainbow Magic books. I was obsessed with them, along with the Geronimo Stilton books. I had such good memories when I would read them and then get prizes from spinning the wheel at the library every time I got a full deck of stamps. Yup, such good memories.

MOTHERR IS BAAACK!!! omg congrats on starting your senior year! (ME TOO TT) this seems so cute can't wait to watch!

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

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.😭

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.

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.

I remember loving these so much! My first (and main) two were Katie the kitten fairy (because that's basically my name, and the kitten in the book looked just like the kitten I had at the time) and Victoria the violin fairy (because I played violin). The illustrations in these books were just so sweet. Thanks for showing off the movie! It looks absolutely adorable

i actually used to watch this movie as a kid!!! me and my dad used to quote jack frost's musical number to each other all the time lmao

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

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.

i remember seeing a clip from this movie when i was young and OBSESSED with rainbow magic but didn't have the internet access or info to watch it anywhere,,,,,, seeing this really made my day lol, especially the jack frost song

the animation is so good and cute 😭😭

I didn't know this book series had an anime movie! I love reading the books!

i remember watching this all the time as a kid im so glad people are talking about it now 😭😭

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

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!

Magical girl media is something that always fascinates me, specially the western ones. It's almost the same formula, but with different ideas.

I remember finding stray books from this series at extended-care at my old school...! It was always out of order, I never got to finish them, and I never knew what was going on, but I still really enjoyed reading them! 💜 The nostalgia hits hard😂

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

I used to read these books as a very young kid and was just hit with the nostalgia as I had completely forgotten about them until now

i loved these book as a kid!! they were awsome! i think i read till about halfway through the pet faeries also a couple of the specials i think i liked the rainbow fairies the most as they got to interact with each other more and jack frost was just bitter at a lack of invitation. he was seemingly reddmed in the end and the girls even got a cute magical snowglobe with all the rainbow fairies fairy dust floating around

This video was something I didn't know I needed, but I did! I'm so glad you covered this little piece of nostalgia. I actually watched the movie myself when I was around 8-9 years old (and was also a HUGE fan of the series at the time!). I loved the cute visuals and how much more fleshed-out the fairies, Kirsty and Rachel seemed in the movie than in the books. (Honestly, the parts where Rachel felt embarrassed about believing in fairies was so realistic and kind of resonated with me!) This is my first time watching you though, can't wait to see more!

I'm so glad that you brought positive attention to this film! This film and books series were childhood aaaaaaaa 💓😭

I’ve seen this movie when I was ten years old and it appeared in Boomerang. I feel so nostalgic upon remembering it all the sudden after so long… 😂

My god this is a literal blast from the past!! I LOVED THESE BOOKS! I think these books are where I got my love for fantasy more before shows like witches & the winx club came up in my life, I never knew they made a anime for it, that's pretty neat & it looks great~ man I miss these books~

OH. MY. GOD. i was legitimately the biggest rainbow magic fan when i was in 2nd-4th grade, how did i not catch this ever?!?!? i haven't even watched the video but i want to thank you right now!!!
