Review of Rainbow War

Rainbow War (1987)
Superb Fable Provided World Exposition Highlight
3 December 1998
I believe "The Rainbow War" was filmed for Expo '86 in Vancouver; at any rate, that's where I saw it. It is a funny, enchanting, imaginative fable about tolerance & friendship in a fragmented, militaristic world. It will appeal to fans of gentle, humanist efforts like "The Red Balloon" or "Life is Beautiful". I was eleven years old when I saw "The Rainbow War", so it's possible I would be less effusive today. As it stands, though, this movie is:

my #1 all-time favourite Canadian movie

my #4 all-time favourite "war" movie

my #1 all-time favourite movie in which paint is the main weapon

I have no clue where & how it's available today. It ran at some corporate pavilion at the expo (where it was a big hit), and I haven't heard of it since.
