I was babysitting my friend's son when she told me to watch this movie with him because he loooves it.
The both of us where so mezmerized byt his movie, that we sat there, completely silent throughout the whole movie and just enjoyed!
I felt like my friends kid, a 3 year old in awe about a movie so simple and wpnderful, it doesn't even need much dialogue to capture it's beauty!
Well done! a classic!
Rating: - Captivating and Perfect!
Absolutely the most wonderful short film in the world. Originally discovered by my mom, now 82, and shared with me and my then young children (back in the VHS days). Now 20 and 23, one thing my kids really wanted was to be able to see this film again. I am so glad it has been put on DVD. We gave a copy to each of my kids, and my son and his girlfriend watched transfixed with the magic of this wonderful tale. Three cheers to those who originally made the film, and to those who are keeping it alive!

I love this movie and have for over 40 years. I originally saw it in the movie theater. I love the visuals and the meaning behind it all. I love there is not much talking as it would take away from the movie. It is still the reddish balloon I have ever seen. It always helps me to believe in magic.
