Emily Osment to lead the voice cast in a new 'Rainbow Brite' cartoon series

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Emily Osment and Molly Ringwald are lending their voices to characters in Rainbow Brite, a remake of the 1980s animated series, says Feeln, a subscription video-on-demand service.

Osment will play the magical, adorable title character, while Ringwald will play the villainous Dark Princess.

The limited run event will feature three weekly episodes, beginning Nov. 6.

"Being cast as the voice of Rainbow Brite for the relaunch of this iconic show is truly an honor. I look forward to connecting with the audience, old and new, and going on this exciting adventure together," Osment said in a statement Tuesday.

"With Rainbow Brite, we believe we have created something that captures the essence of the original series -- but with a vision that resonates today," said Iris Ichishita, head of original entertainment for Feeln. "We hope audiences will react with an, 'Oh, my bows!' -- just like us."

Osment is best known for her work on the TV show Hannah Montana. Ringwald is a former 1980s teen icon whose credits include Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club.
