| Rainbow War | comment |
A film created for the Vancouver World's fair in 1986, Rainbow War is a light-hearted, cartoony little short that as the underlying Aesop of tolerance and love. Largely in Pantomime, the film tells the story of three kingdoms of color: the paranoid Red Kingdom, the arrogant Blue Kingdom, and the domineering Gold Kingdom. While each kingdom hates the other for their differences, life is peaceful because there is no way to travel between them. This peace is shattered when a young inventor from the Gold Kingdom creates a flying contraption and crashes into the Red Leader's daughter. What follows is, of course, a war of colorful paint between the three kingdoms. The film is considered a cult classic in Canada and is commonly shown in Canadian schools. | |

| Rainbow War / int_1ba8eb64 | comment |
Visual Pun: There's lot's of them, One of them being The Yellow Kingdom using a giant yellow dog balloon to stop the Red Kingdom's giant fire hydrant weapon. there's also an audio pun with The Yellow leader who has the cry of a red-tailed hawk (that everyone will likely mistake for the cry of a bald eagle) | |

Art Attacker: Everyone is this, using paint brushes, paint rollers, and buckets of paint as weapons. Some are also using palettes as shields. This of course results in loads of slapstick. | |

Dystopian Edict | |
| Rainbow War / int_c09c2921 | comment |
Dystopian Edict: Citizens may only wear their own kingdom's color and nothing else. Each kingdom has their own way of enforcing this. The Blue Kingdom makes it a fashion faux pas to wear anything other than blue. The Red Kingdom promotes red as trustworthy, and all other colors are deemed as suspicious. The Gold Kingdom aggressively censors other colors so that citizens only know yellow. | |
