Murky's Comet
From WikiBrite: The Rainbow Brite WIki
PlotMURKY'S COMET threatens to destroy Rainbow Land. Murky strikes a bargain with a sorcerer to create a comet to destroy Rainbow Land. But his plan goes awry and he must ask Rainbow Brite for help. Full Summary: Murky's CometSprites decorate Sprite cars with fresh blooms, The Color Kids practice music, Tickled Pink twirls her batons and Rainbow Brite is high in the Color Castle watching them. She is testing out the new telescope Shy Violet invented so they can see where color is needed from home. While looking Rainbow notices a flying object pass the view, but ignores it for the time being and goes to make sure Starlite is decorated for the parade. They need a grand marshal for the parade, and Starlite nominates Brian, and everyone agrees. She and Starlite race across the rainbow to earth to fetch him before the parade starts. Deep in the Pits, Lurky is also looking through Murk's telescope at the lovely flowers in Rainbow Land and dances with glee. Murky however is not happy. He hates flowers. Murky and Lurky return to tuning up Murky's Space Ship. Meanwhile a wizard in the flying object from earlier, is upset because his ship is losing power. He looks out of his window and notices Murky's space ship. Figuring it is what he will need he lands in the Pits. Murky is tinkering away and says if he had one wish it would be a way to destroy the color cave., the the ship crashes behind them. Like a genie from a bottle the wizard flops out. Lurky comments that maybe this could be the answer to his wish. The wizard takes his genie appearance into consideration and asks what Murky's wish is! "I am Sorrel the sorcerer! The wisest of all sorcerers!" Murky isn't convinced and as a threat Sorrel turns him into a toad...but turns him into a DUCK instead. But then back. Then he says what his wish is. Destroy the color cave. Sorrel says he will if they can make his ship fly he will destroy the cave. He deducts that if they create a comet to crashing to the cave. He will make a Comet from a Bad Rainbow, but a good rainbow cannot connect with the bad rainbow or it will become a good rainbow and the comet will be no more.To make his spell work he needs water from the rainbow river, a Color Crystal from the color caves, and a patch of fur from a Sprite. Murky and Lurky hide the grunge buggy under some weeds and decorations, to hide in the parade, but sorrel makes it it a full flower covered buggy and they travel to Rainbow Land. Murky gets the water from the rainbow river, then gets some red Color Crystals, and then try to chase down Sprites in the color cave, only to miss and stumble down the Color Crystal coaster to the back of the color castle. Figuring chasing a Sprite won't work, they decide to sneak up on an unlucky blue Sprite and snatch a hand full of blue fur from the poor boys tush. Back in the Pits Sorrel has Murky mix the ingredient together, and out from the Pits rises a gloomy dark rainbow, which touches the sky and forms a massive comet which barrels towards Rainbow Land. Sorrel says the comet will hit by noon. Murky and Lurky dance with glee. Sorrel, sick of dealing with the stupidity turns Lurky into a mouse....but really a toad. With the Lurky toad hopping around the Pits Sorrel turns his attention to Murky. Murky asks for Murky to be changed back, so that they can hunt for the parts that he needs. Back in Rainbow Land Kitty Brite and Puppy Brite see the comet coming toward Rainbow Land through Violet's new telescope and they run to get the Color Kids and show them. The kids run to the "Rainbow Alarm" Meanwhile Brian is with Rainbow and the rainbow starts to shake, knowing there is a problem Starlite runs faster to Rainbow Land. In the Pits, Sorrel climbs into the ship Murky and Lurky have fixed and leaves. To him, the job is done and it is now time to continue on his way. After he has left, Lurky notices the comet is large, and that it will destroy all Rainbow Land not just the caves. Murky screams and runs to his ship, only to realize where Lurky got the parts for Sorrel's. Now the only choice is to STOP the comet with a good rainbow. Murky and Lurky run to Rainbow Land and try to steal Rainbow Brite's Belt, so they can stop the comet. They run past Rainbow and sure enough, snatch the belt from her waist, but they don't get too far before they are stopped and she takes the belt back. Getting her belt back Rainbow Brite touches her belt and once the good rainbow touches the comet it burst into colors and streamers. Rainbow Land's Flower Festival goes off with out a hitch. As punishment Murky and Lurky are put into a crate and forced to throw orange flowers to the crowds during the parade. Trivia1: The opening shows Canary Yellow and Patty O'Green playing different instruments then what you see them playing during the parade. 2: Voice actor Andre Stojka, who plays the voice of Starlite, also played the voice of the Sorcerer Sorrel in this episode. |
