The Dog Who Stopped the War backdrop

The Dog Who Stopped the War 1984 Directed by André Melançon La guerre des tuques

War, peace, love and honor...in the world of children

As the Christmas holidays begin, a group of 10 war-obsessed kids have a wave of inspiration: What if they spend the next two weeks engaged in a simulated war, armed only with shields, wooden swords, snowballs, and a fierce sense of competition? With a bounty chest waiting for the winners, the two sides gradually grow in size, and the war grows in importance, taking over all aspects of their lives.
