Added DiffLines:

* OlderThanTheyThink: While neither Ritchie Blackmore nor Ronnie James Dio were considered spring chickens during their time in Rainbow, fewer people know just ''how'' long the two had been in the music business. Dio had a years-long stint as a 1950's ''doo-wop'' singer, and Blackmore was a session musician who played for several of 50's rock n' roll greats.

* FaceOfTheBand: Ritchie Blackmore is always making sure that ''no one'' forgets that he's this. Take a look at all the live albums that have been released in the last decade, he's on the cover of nearly all of them.

* EndingFatigue: "Stargazer" is a song that tells a story. The song continues for two minutes after the story is over, and fades out instead of having a decisive end.

* NightmareFuel: Bungle's appearance in the first series was...rather unsettling. Unsurprisingly, his costume design had been changed dramatically at the start of the second series to give him a friendlier and less disturbing appearance.

** The scenes inside the rainbow are still pretty stunning - achieved by submerging a green screen inside a diving pool and an instructor working carefully with the child actors to achieve the desired effect. The result is that it looks considerably better than a lot of 90s green screen effects. They were filmed with prototype HD cameras too.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Some parts of the film are quite dark for children's fare - such as there being literal riots in the streets over the color draining from the world, and a harrowing scene where a reporter describes what's happening to the world. The backstory of Mike and Steve's father running away is also quite mature. And it averts GoshDarnItToHeck by having characters drop "shit" and "crap".

** "Catch the Rainbow" may also be considered this, due to being played regularly on their performances, including the bands name, (although, to be fair, most of the songs Dio wrote do,) and being generally awesome.

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


** The trailer is so schmaltzy and inspirational about following your dreams, it results in TastesLikeDiabetes. Especially since there's none of that in the actual movie itself.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UnintentionalUncannyValley: Zippy and George are obvious muppets and thankfully come off as fake enough they look alright. Bungle however is a person in a suit, and aside from the freaky design, his movements are realistic enough to come off as unnerving. His appearance was especially uncanny in the first series.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: George is pink, softly-spoken, and has long eyelashes. But as you can guess by his name, he's a boy.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Jackie to Frank "why didn't you go with him?" re: her husband leaving. Is she asking why Frank didn't go with him to make sure he came back? Or is she saying she wishes he'd run away too?



* InferredHolocaust: [[spoiler: Mikey and Mutt end the film being dropped right in the middle of the Amazon rain forest. We can only hope they find another rainbow to take them back to civilization soon]].



* NarmCharm: The sequence of the colour being restored to the world via HappyRain is a little corny, but still makes for a nice emotional payoff.



* RetroactiveRecognition: Steve's actor Jacob Tierney would later become known as the creator and star of the TV series ''Letterkenny''.
