Good news, '80s kids. The future is looking "Brite."

The 1980s cartoon "Rainbow Brite" is now coming back in a brand new series courtesy of the video on demand service Feeln, reports EW. Emily Osment will voice Brite while Molly Ringwald will voice her nemesis, the Dark Princess.

The series will reunite Rainbow Brite with her talking horse as they attempt to save Rainbowland, but this time it looks like they'll need all the rainbow belts and star sprinkles they can get.

The new series is set to begin in early November. For more, check out the trailer:

Young Celebs If They Were Cartoon Characters

If Ke$ha was stuck in an RV with a sister who talked to animals and a brother who acted like a wild animal, we bet she would react just the way Debbie Thornberry did: lots of eye-rolling. The two blondes share a hairstyle and a party-girl attitude. (credit:Getty/Nickelodeon)

True, Zayn might not have Jimmy Neutron's genius IQ and Jimmy might not have Zayn's voice, but they share one important characteristic: major, gravity-defying hair. (credit:Getty/Nickelodeon)

Between their long, blonde hair, blue eyes, and vintage-style dresses, Taylor Swift and Sailor Moon could be twins. Beyond just looks, Taylor and Sailor Moon are both diehard romantics with sweet, laidback personalities. (credit:Alamy/Kodansha Comics USA)

Lanky and red-headed, Arnold from The Magic Schoolbus could easily be another Weasley brother from Harry Potter. Just like Arnold, Rupert's Potter character, Ron, is brave but not particularly motivated in school. (credit:Shutterstock/Scholastic)

Emma Stone has mastered the teen movie (Superbad), the action movie (The Amazing Spider-Man), the period piece (The Help), and more. Most young actresses would call that impossible, but not Emma -- which is why Kim Possible is her cartoon alter ego. (credit:Alamy/Disney Channel)

Daria's Jane Lane is artistic and a bit cynical, just like Kristen Stewart. The girls dress similarly, too -- Jane's ever-present combat boots are the 90s version of Kristen's dedication to Converse. (credit:AP/MTV)

Penny loves to sing, so it's a no-brainer to pair her up with one of the most incredible set of pipes around -- Amber Riley. And just like straight-A Penny, Amber describes herself as "genius" and "intelligent." (credit:Getty/Disney Channel)

While Bella may not be literally composed of candy, se's just as sweet as Adventure Time's Princess Bubblegum.
