I just watched that new doc about this and I am really upset about the way she treated people…especially the kickstarter people and that interior decorator creator. I feel like she needs to pay them all reparations. It’s so gross.

Myself and several other smaller no-name artists I know have had our original art removed from sites like amazon, redouble, tee public, etc. simply because our drawings might use the same colors. (Rainbow colors using pink instead of red - nothing special.) So she files copyright reports because she thinks she owns the rainbow. And this is recent.

Blaming her husband for all the horrible events is bullshit. Lisa is just as toxic and nasty. (Ask ANYone who worked at the FL plant.)

The factory is coming back here in AZ where I live, they just repainted everything again and the rainbow characters were standing in front of the building. I am so excited to see what they are going to do considering it's been 11 years since they shut it down. Great video, just wanted to let you know an update on what they are doing!

She stole her original designs. She's not an honest or good person.

Being from Tucson I know this Cruel woman personally. Voted WORST BOSS in Arizona several times. She slandered her poor husband who is a nice guy. Lise would lock designers in the workshops. Not let employees use the bathroom. Verbal abusive to staff.

Love this video! Even though this wasn’t my jam back in the 80s because I was a young boy, my wife and I still have nostalgic memories of seeing Lisa Frank EVERYWHERE!!:) As a result, if we see a piece of current day LF merch, we pick it up for our 10 and 5 year old daughters:) Love ya, Jennifer!

The rainbow tea 🔥🌈🦄 is whoa. Well put together, Jenn.

normally I see Jennifer Landa on the Forcecenter and Othercenter podcast videos, so I was shocked when I stumbled upon this video as I was going down a rabbit hole of research into the Lisa Frank company. Good work and happy beeps on this.

So, who has copyright to the rainbow?

[alolkoydesigns]

I worked there around 2012. It was pretty weird

[wombatus_rex]

Wow I didn't recognize this channel for a second because it isn't Star Wars haha, great video can't wait to see your Ahsoka reaction!

[CadillacDiva]

[karamiaone]

I was so hoping that somewhere a documentary would be made!

Rondi screen says she was Kurtz was designer to 2022, but you verbally say 2002.

i thought it was gonna be some cancel culture bs but this is an awesome video, very informative, it is crazy to recall how big Lisa Frank was and once we grew it kinda dissappeared, I only remembered this company today because i got an email about a crocs collab.
