All the Colors of the Earth

Based on Sheila Hamanaka's luminously illustrated picture book, this iconographic adaptation features limited but solid animation and superb music in its celebration of diversity ("children come in all the colors of the Earth"). Still, with two 3-minute plus versions on the video (one spoken, one sing-along), and no actual story to speak of, what you're getting here is a rather pricey music video that walks--subject-wise--pretty familiar terrain. An optional purchase. Aud: K, E, P. (R. Pitman)
