"To see THE RED BALLOON is to laugh, and cry, at the impossible joy of being a child again." -- Grade: A

A short with music and sound but no dialogue. The focal point is a bright red balloon, the psychological companion of a young French boy as he goes to school and plays with his friends. A classic. Academy Awards: Best Original Screenplay.

One of the most successful children's films ever made.
This charming story centers around a lonely little boy who finds that a red balloon magically has a life of its own. As he chases the colorful, teasing object through the Paris streets, the child encounters a world full of adventure and fascinating people... but nothing can prepare him for his final experience with his new and playful friend.
