Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Newly restored and available for the first time on DVD, Albert Lamorisse s exquisite The Red Balloon remains one of the most beloved children s films of all time. In this deceptively simple, nearly wordless tale, a young boy discovers a stray balloon, which seems to have a mind of its own, on the streets of Paris. The two become inseparable, yet the world s harsh realities finally interfere. With its glorious palette and allegorical purity, the Academy Award winning The Red Balloon has enchanted movie lovers, young and old, for generations.

- Movie great, but delivery stunk!!!Ordered this item for Christmas and it just arrived today. I was not happy until my 18 month old and three year old watched this short. they loved it like I loved it when I was little. It really gets the little ones imagination stirring! They start asking so many questions and just seem in awe the whole time:) Other than delivery problem, the movie quality was great and the story was just as wonderful as I remember. The boys have already watched it two more times!

- Alternate opinion: it gave me nightmaresWhen I was a little kid, I saw this movie at school. Is scared the fecal matter out of me. The red balloon was an inanimate object, to my tiny literal mind, and therefore should not display any signs of cognizance. I was terrified of animate inanimate objects for YEARS afterwards. Then in the end when the boy is kidnapped by all those balloons that put me right over the edge. I was petrified. He was snatched away by balloons that were going to take him to who knows where? What was he going to eat? ... Read More

- MemoriesI remember bringing my 3 young boys to the local library that was showing this movie shortly after it was first released. We all loved it very much and the boys were just riveted to the screen. Now I'm hoping my grandchildren will love it as much as we did then.

- The Red Balloon Rises Again~I saw this in a theater way back in the 50's and liked it then. This new DVD release looks even better than that old "big" screen movie version. The VHS version satisfied for a while, but the DVD is superior, just as one would expect it to be. The final scene is truly remarkable considering it was done long before computer generated imaging. Must be seen to be believed. If you're a kid, or have one, it's a must for your collection!
